So, when Tesla installed our 24-panel 7.68kW array + 2 Powerwall2s, they appear to have disconnected all the circuit breakers from our original 125A service panel (all are in the OFF position and our electrical stuff works), EXCEPT the 2x70A breakers for the 2xTesla Wall Connectors (previously the electric dryer circuit), and 2x40A for an electric stove (active - tested at the outlet, but not being used as we were/are using a gas range, but plan to switch to an induction range this month).
When we're charging either/both M3s, if the solar output + Powerwalls makes it to 12-14 kWh nothing comes from the grid. If the solar output + Powerwalls <12-14 kWh, the difference is made up from the grid.
Anyway, it occurred to me that maybe the 2x40A are not actually on the solar side (I have this memory that the electrician said something like that during the original install), and if we start using an electric range all of the current would come from the grid? Is that even possible?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts...
