So I just had a weird experience... about an hour ago (6:45pm Pacific) we were cooking dinner and doing some chores. The Emporia Vue showed a modest 5kW of home loads at that time.
But then a few of our lights dimmed in the kitchen; the vent-hood fan slowed down then sped up. I went to my phone to check the Tesla app. Sure enough, it indicated a 17 second power outage.
The weird part is I asked one next door neighbor if he had a service interruption, and he said no. He has a Ting energy monitor and it recorded no anomalies. The neighbor across the street and to my other side didn't experience anything either. None of these homes have any ESS.
So basically, my house was the only one that saw the mini blip... which leads me to believe it's related to my installed components and energy coming from the Powerwalls. (3x Powerwalls with a SoC of ~70%)
Is there a way I can pull reporting on the frequency/voltage of the PoCo or my Powerwalls at the time of the alleged "power outage?" It would be great if the Gateway had this information stored since it's the brains of everything. Sunset today was 6:04 PM; so this is not related to my PV.
The part that confuses me is that my house has basically been "off grid" of sorts for the last 14 days. I haven't taken more than 0.1 kW power from PG&E; and I've sent 0.0 back to them since I don't have PTO. The daily solar production has been able to offset all my demand on a daily cycle. Basically, PG&E going offline shouldn't have done anything anyway; I've been 100% self powered for 14 days.
Is this common? That is... once you get Powerwalls you experience more frequent mini blips due to the extra tech?
