Tesla’s solar CT’s (connected directly to gateway, Nero’s are fine) are calibrated about 10% high. Probably on purpose so people think their solar is working well. So if all loads are off, the solar CT’s should match the Line CT’s. Seems like the calibration is looking for the lowest house...

Turn off all loads/breakers and let the solar calibrate with the main CT. I think Tesla finally figured out that their solar CT is off 10%. If all loads are off as well as Powerwall then solar has to match the main CT in the gateway. Don’t turn off gateway main breaker, just the loads and let...

For PW2/+ it is AC, for PW3 the MPPT charge the batteries with DC so I think it will be a mix!

That is why I said “It would be cool if Tesla made a separate box”; and that is why it would have a disconnect switch. It could even check the THD to protect Tesla’s hardware. Would probably need some sort of circuit to help synchronize generator. I would probably fork over 2K for said box...

It would be cool if Tesla made a separate box with a generator disconnect switch that could be connected to your generation panel. Probably require a few chips to connect to canbus and check for stable voltage and have CT’s to monitor load be applied to generator.

New solution. Buy a cybertruck and charge it with the generator and then connect truck to house!

Tesla’s EVSE equipment is capable of load sharing. Even tho you have two charger circuits you could set the chargers to load share to play nicer to the grid, if that would work for your vehicle usage. Because of the amount of utility scale solar on the grid, the rate is really low during the...

YES

Have Tesla adjust your current limit in the software. This way the powerwalls will adjust the Powerwall draw to no trip your main breaker. You might think about EVSE that can PowerShare a single circuit too.

MPT/battery chargers can handle more power than the inverter. So perhaps Powerwall is charged already and is clipping what goes to the grid. Really only applies to PW3’s with a lot of solar.

Correct on edit. Inductive loads without correction cause the current to nearly double. Saw this with my well pump motor. I don’t have many capacitive loads, but it is possible some installed the wrong run capacitor on a motor that comes on.

Have any of you taken electrical fundamentals in college?

Could you or a neighbor on the same transformer have a bad run capacitor on a large pump motor?

what is your feeder cable gage from the meter to the loads panel, material and length?

What is the inductance of the load you applied that cause the voltage rise? Do yourself a favor and buy DVM capable of real power measurement. Answer always lies there.

I hate the collision warnings, happen all the time when there is on possibility of collision. Plus there are no early warnings any more.

Leasing FSD. I purchased the performance upgrade for MY, car is always accelerating and deaccelerating. Software need to command power level not percent of power level.

please educate Tesla solar designers about this. They keep wiring arrays in parallel on the roof.

I got the rheem 80 gallon heat pump heater. It is insulated very well from factor. Skin is ambient temps when I shoot it with or thermometer. So don’t know how well blanket will help. It has paid for its self already, did it at start of COVID before the prices doubled.

Coping Ecoflow!

That was out of the video, with some shading. Vines said Tesla inverters have a wide range on each mppt, and they do. But just know you will lose efficiency as the power will have to be converted by a buck/boost converter before the inverter and you will lose efficiency. I guarantee the...

Tesla LOVES to install two strings with one homerun, I believe that will affect production even more when shading occurs. I would like to see that test with different azimuths and pitch on a single string. But in a nutshell, optimizers (including enphase) produces about 10-13% more energy...

Probably requires gateway updates too…. Vaporware 🤔

V3 gateway probably contains a auto transformer and battery, umc would connect to gateway over can bus with battery power. Electronics need to run to disconnect grid and tell vehicle to turn on.

I still think this PowerShare is vapor ware.

Contractor has to make his Yacht and RV payment! You don’t expect him to pay for that out of his pocket. If I was this dude, I would get other quote for service upgrade, and two 200 amp service disconnect switches.

How could this dude be allowed to install 36.6Kw of solar on 200 amp service. Quote for service upgraded didn’t include new transformer, just trenching and new equipment.

I’ve started running self powered. My utility will now pay me the avoidance cost (retail rate minus 4.5 cents) for my export, but I buy back at full retail rate. Should result in money in my pocket.

This is what it did to me a Texas grid.

How did your attic get “hit with snow”?

Ask duke if they will accept export/software limit of 20kw.

Inflation…. Take the pw2’s now.

I believe PW2 can output 7 kw off grid peek.

FSD is only worth 3K in my book. Prior to trial, I thought maybe 6K. I might rent it for a long trip in the future. All this has shown me is that my camera in the cabin is busted, fsd will not work at night.

Works during day

My FSD trial started yesterday. tried it this morning, 6:00 am, and it wouldn’t engage as it was complaining that the camera was covered up. It isn’t covered, it is just dark out. Does my cabin camera need replacing? Anyone else ?

App was telling me 5 hours!

Am I the only one? Sentry mode is disabled at home, work and favorites. I’ve noticed the fan running much more often. If is very cool out, so it shouldn’t be running like it is. I think a sensor is bad or something.

Just trying to get solar back up! 16Gw shut down because PW were full. Plus I’ve really haven’t stress tested them, no magic smoke came out.

Grid outage, charging the MY with portable cord, two furnace on trying to drain powerwalls so solar returns. Might as well charge the car up, don’t want to let any power go to waste. Fans in Powerwalls didn’t come, but it is in the 50’s.

Starting March 2 I’ve been suffering phantom drain. I’m guessing that aligns with software update. Cat consumes mor sitting then driving twice a day!

I’m dumb, I ment power 20.1 Kw. 144 KWh on 4/29/2023

I caught 20.1 Kwh, some edge effect. Usually around 16 kwh. Can’t post image! Server error!

New cooling system for pw3, water cooling.

What inverter profiles are you running on your none Tesla inverters? I’m 99% sure your that is your issue. I run “IEEE 1547 FW 61 to 62 Hz” on my enphase inverters.

I think most people would like ac coupled as it gives more power for off grid. Not everyone has 8 powerwalls like me!

When will PowerShare be demonstrated?
