I imagine that even if you don't get credit for sending power back to the grid, it may be better to send it anyways instead of sending freq changes and shutting down the inverters several times during the day. Maybe I'm just timid about forcing something to shut down. Then there's the case...

I'm thinking 'Inverter/battery info (/system_status)' would provide error codes.

Same boat. I at least check daily, always curious how much production the day had and look for anomalies.

If you use Netzero or Powerwall Dashboard, you might see errors logged to identify potential issues. I'm assuming that since was installed 1.5 years ago, this is all Tesla gateways and inverters. For instance, Powerwall Dashboard gives me a list of what messages have been logged in the last...

There have been several solar roof cancellations, which could be a number of reasons: no installer for your area, too much re-work for the roof structure/weight distribution. How long was your order in process?

I replaced my water heater with a GE Geospring hybrid about 8 years ago. I also bought the Home Depot 10 year warranty for it. About 2 years in, it didn't seem to be heating the water appropriately, so I contact HD for help. They couldn't find anyone to service it, so they sent me a check for...

With the Tesla inverters and Gateway devices, Tesla has been known to proactively monitor and contact owners of impending issues. Not often, but they do reach out, as ascertained from many other posts here.

Sense Solar CTs have always been off. The only way I could get them to work was reversing the polarity on one of the Sense CTs, and sense support washed their hands of supporting me when they knew I had batteries. I don't really pay attention to them TBH. I use sense for understanding my...

Here's May 2nd @ 11:45am. You can see the gradual increase in usage, as my solar ramps up. This is my usage, I picked a spot prior to my AC or pool heat pump kicking in. Here's my solar production at that time: Comparing what sense saw for panel usage at about that time: 1411w at the...

I might be nearing the end of my good spring run. I'm down to 27% battery and it's going to be a stormy day, IRL and in my span of grid freedom. And, now stormwatch has kicked in....

On my install, l see the 10% loss in the house usage versus inverter cost. My house will show about 1.5kW higher than my Sense or Emporia says my house is using when I'm hitting 15kW solar. That seems to be because Tesla is accounting for the inverter wattage that is needed for the conversion...

Just FYI, you can request Tesla to adjust the inverter turn-off frequency. By default, my system changed from 60 to 65Hz when off-grid or grid outage situation, when the batteries were full and solar was more than the house was using. My uninterruptible power supplies, which I have my...

I am in no rush to have my gateway upgraded. :)

I'm also on 23.28.2, PW2s in FL.

Yes, you will change your W-Fi connection in the Tesla app, under Settings -> Wi-Fi.
