My battery never went below 55% I’m pretty sure during this process, if it’s true that draining it all the way is good. I would do it no problem.

Probably yes but I wont risk it with PGE...what is SCE? So Cal Edison? Yeah no, PGE for me.

Oh and I just found out why PGE has not progressed my PTO, there is a form called the AUTHORIZATION AGREEMENT that Tesla has to send them AFTER I sign the NBT interconnection doc which I did back on May 8 but Tesla has not done that yet. At least since I am proactive it will get done, but were...

11:21 AM today (pacific) the warning on the app disappeared and so far it appears I am back to self-powered 100% as before. SPOKE TOO SOON the PW is full and I am using 1.0 kW but .6 is coming from solar and .3 from grid. Hopefully as the day progresses it will get back to normal. PW is...

It is just that it came from nowhere, no warning from the project advisor or anyone during the process. Once every 3 months wont be terrible but hopefully not more than that. Thanks!

I am on self powered and I am getting only from the grid right now as this process goes on…I don’t know how else to explain it, but I’ve always been self powered because I’m still waiting for permission to operate export, etc. so I am definitely now 100% on the grid where as the past five weeks...

Mine and Don's above are NOT getting any of the solar into the house, it is all going into the PW. See his screenshot above, is yours doing something different? Are you getting solar benefit to the house? Please look at Don's screenshot to see what I mean and compare to yours. THANKS!

Thanks for responding...I guess the PW controls everything so during this 24 hrs we are relying solely on the grid. I am and the other person here screenshot shows they are also. Oh well... BTW mine has been doing this since 10:00 pm or so last night or now about 10 hours and the PW was at...

See response by Don above, I have the same on my app. I saw it only by pulling up the app, the notice was on the home screen. I called Tesla last night and they said this is a brand new thing that she had to look up while I was on hold. Just hoping it goes back to normal soon, supposed to be...

Exactly the same here. Is this news to you also? Nobody every said this would happen, per a call to them last night around midnight my time she said it might be a one time thing, but the way it reads on the app it is going to happen routinely. THANK YOU for answering here, I can now know it...

Last night I got a message on my app that my powerwall 3 was “calibration in progress” and now I have no solar production at all. I’m entirely on the grid for the last 10 hours, it says it will last 24 hours is this happening to you? I’m hoping just so I know it’s not just me? I shouldn’t say I...

As you can see what I have posted here, but it’s even worse now while solar is being produced I am still not getting any of it. It’s going into the Powerwall which is not doing anything and I am solely on the grid now… it’s just really not good at all.

This is what is happening and it’s new for Powerwall three I guess and it’s for all Powerwall threes so yeah. I just got off the phone with them and they said yes this is new, the bummer is I won’t have access to the Powerwall for 24 hours.

The top part about the AC being switched off is part of another section that I accidentally included here. It has nothing to do with this.

I never heard of this before, but it says my powerwall will not provide power for 24 hours during a calibration. So I will be using the grid only for this 24 hours I guess or not grid only during the day but at night of course it will be grid only. I wonder how often this is going to happen...

24.12.5. c54d0af7 Above is what my update version is, by the way, thanks for responding! This is very helpful…yeah, all of a sudden the draining percentage number was not going down nearly as quickly as it did every day before that and it’s still going down much slower than it was, which I...

Just now realized that if I go out there when it’s dark, I do see a white light on the Tesla logo… it’s not dark right now, but I cupped my hands around it and I could see it. I’m pretty sure. Could not edit my post.

So many questions... 1. I never see any kind of light on my Powerwall 3, does that only happen when it is updating? 2. Am I supposed to have a manual way of updating my PW 3 on the app? 3. The other day all of a sudden the percentage available of the PW 3 was not draining the way I know it...

I also heard they were proposing to institute a fee for solar customers who aren’t paying for electricity or paying much to supplement those who are without solar which eventually will be the people with the least amount of ability to pay, which makes sense to me and I’m willing to pay a fee...

Anyone want to compare charge rates for powerwall 3? For instance, today sunny day producing 1.5 kWo’clock at 9 in the morning and the powerwall went from 62% to 63% in 10 minutes, took 10 minutes to go one percentage point. Of the 1.5 kW .5 was going to the house and one was going to the...

I’m going to have to pay a $24 a month fixed fee even if I’m self powered the whole month?

I dont see a way to have the Tesla app have security so that it wont open unless you put in a password or something. I guess that is not possible.

And just a reminder to anyone getting a new system, you can pay with a credit card without any fee to get your miles which I just did.

Oh shite I just found that in the app sorry ha ha OK this makes perfect sense now problem resolved thanks again!!!

I will be connecting it via Wi-Fi and I just don’t know what will initiate that will it be my app my Tesla app? When the Tesla technician connected the power wall to my Wi-Fi they asked me my password and I told them so now if I have to re-initiate that connection is it going to be done from...

I will be getting a new router, I did not connect the powerwall to my router, tesla technician did that when installing, how do I connect powerwall to my new router, is that gonna be done through the Tesla app?

The appointment with him was for something else I figured I would just ask but thanks let me see if I have that number still if it’s the right one 877-961-7652?

Thanks, I will ask my ProjectAdvisor I know they told me that the Powerwall three is incorporating Other things that used to be separate I guess Gateway is one of them the only other thing they installed other than the panic power button is a little box below the breaker I’m not sure what it is...

If I have a 2000 square-foot house and I’m only moving the router 15 feet further away from the powerwall which is outside on the side of the house, should I have an issue with the powerwall connecting? I am assuming my connection to Tesla is via the Internet connection of the powerwall to my...

Can someone remind me what it means on the app when it says “server error “ this is something on Tesla‘s end not on my end probably? I mean I know what a server is and I know it’s on their end but just wondering if it was always going to mean it’s something on their end. I just wonder if...

If I had to replace wired smoke detector and wanted to shut power off because I’m going to unplug the wiring in the smoke detector would I just turn the breaker off like I would’ve done before I had this solar system that’s how you do it right? Dumb question I know but if you need to turn power...

Thank you for your input. I was able to figure out how to look at the day by day hour by hour energy production graph and I can see that my solar so far has started anytime between 7 AM and 8 AM and sometimes it stopped at 7:30 PM but usually before 7 PM. Unfortunately I overthink everything...

Oh darn, at 6:45 PM tonight in California it is cloudy but still light out, solar generating ZERO for a while now. That can’t be right. Maybe that is normal I don’t know.

4:30 now at 89%, 12.4 kWh generated today, so this seems to be charging very slowly.

Just had system installed with a powerwall 3, with 10 panels, and today it was down to 24% this morning and it is now 1:15 Pacific time and I’ve been getting on average one 1.8 kW from solar and it is partly cloudy and it is now charged to 46%. Don’t know if this is average charging time or...

Just came across this graph: https://assets.solar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/import-vs-export-prices-in-nem-3.png at...

Thanks, that makes sense to me. I will remember the correct term as "TBC" or slightly different than "TCB" both Elvis's motto and a great song, "Taking Care of Business." If I was better organized I would write down all my questions over a period of weeks and then start only one thread and ask...

I'm sorry and I forgot to answer that. My primary driver was to lower my electric costs from PG&E billing and have power during the planned outages that PG&E does here for up to 3 days (I realize one PW wont last more than one day) as their way of not having another horrible fire like we had...

Thanks, your advice will be good on hot summer days probably, and knowing I can switch back and forth anytime, from self-powered to time of use is great also. I don't recognize NBT or AKA but NEM 3.0 is the highway robbery deal 😁:mad:I am getting from PG&E. I say it that way because my closest...

That was easy, I didnt even bother calling till now assuming there would be a long wait. Took 15 seconds to be connected and the LED light question he did not know the answer and had to put me on hold for several minutes, came back and said when powered up it goes red then green then off. That...

I can no longer make project advisor consults even though I am still waiting for PTO, city inspection and to pay, for some reason it wont make the appt, says it does but I dont get the email confirmation and it wont work. I then found a way to send a message thru somewhere on the app and it...

I think I saw you tell me this or just state it in general somewhere else here and it is one of the reasons I seem so confused. Maybe in my case, per the response from jjrandorin, self powered will cost me less? The reason self powered costs more is because it will draw from the grid...

Thank you! BTW do you know the answer to the Powerwall 3 LED light on the Tesla logo on the front, is it an LED light? My manual says it is but I cant find a single source explaining what it does or means when it lights up and mine never lights up that I can see. I assume most here do not...

Thanks again, the only reason I never changed out of E1 to the other one is PG&E shows me a guesstimate I guess of what my annual total would be on each plan and the difference was $15 a year so I never changed it but I certainly will now. What I’m still unclear about is, and I am referring...

Thank you for the information, I was aware of the difference between the two I just wasn’t aware that you could always use self powered mode even after you get permission to export/operate, so this is very informational and helpful for me and yes you are the second person to recommend the E-TOU...

I have 10 panels one Powerwall 3 and the whole thing was about $22,000. Approximately 2000 square-foot house.

Yes. Unless we’re using air conditioner which we use about 30 days during the summer our average daily uses around 10 kWh .

Thank you for responding, so even if Ian being forced to choose a time of use plan with PG&E if I use the self powered mode like I’m doing now the system will try to only use existing produced solar (at the moment being produced) plus the powerwall? Sounds like I can do what I’m already doing...
