I’m in. Waiting for mine to be built. That said, The esthetic of the peaked roof above the driver door is unappealing to me. If that angle was rounded into the roof, in my opinion, the appearance of the whole truck would be more attractive. so.... I think I will black it out, so it blends...

Thanks so much. How / where do I learn about all the different power grid profiles?

Thank you for this information. Sorry for the slow response. I Was battling irrigation issues. I have theIQ 6 Plus 72-2 US inverter. It’s provisioned with the IEEE 1547 (2015) Grid Profile. The Envoy is running software version D5.0.34. June 25-19 build. It’s NEC 2014 and 2017 and CA Rule...

Yes, thank you it was very useful and I had read it previously. But it’s like pulling teeth to get it done. After about a month Tesla tier 2 support, responds via a CS person, that I need to get Enphase to change the must trip /. Shall trip frequency to 60.5, before Tesla can make the change...

I’m sorry your car was damaged. it doesn’t look like $16 K worth of injury. Do you think repair cost are inflated because it’s a Tesla?

I don’t have a SunPower system, so my experience may be different then yours. I’m replying because this was a pain point for me that took some time before I was able to resolve it. I have an Enphase system with Envoy monitoring. When Tesla installed my Powerwalls my consumption CTs for Envoy...

I’m on my installation about a month. I’m still working on squashing bugs. I have, 4 Powerwalls and 33 Hyundai Heavy Industry 355 W Panels with Enphase IQ6Plus Microinverters and Envoy Monitor. In FL if installing more then 12 kW, an additional application and insurance is mandated to the...

Thank you

I have a new Powerwall installation, would it be useful for me to install and configure the Neurio apps?

Yes, monthly credits roll over month to month, starting with zero January 1st, each year.

In FL the State’s Constitution was amended with a “Solar Bill of Rights”. Part of this are the Net Metering Rules. Energy sent to the grid is returned as energy from the grid. A credit only comes into play, if a surplus exists at the end of the year. The reimbursement rate is the utility’s...

I’m on my utilities residential standard rate plan. Last year the PV array met 100% of my energy and resulted in an end of year credit being applied to my account. Even if I never draw power from the Powerwalls, it’s looking like the parasitic energy use for conditioning the batteries will...

Thank you. I’m using an iPad, the “to powerwall”usage was below what the displayed showed on the screen.. I didn’t know more data was available if I scrolled down. I have net metering so the Powerwalls are on 100% backup. By looking at the single day Powerwall consumption, I see, on some...

Sorry to mislead you. My electric use last month was 1700 kWhs. The 4 Powerwalls are for Peak Energy in the unlikely event evert thing starts simultaneously. I worked pretty hard to get my use that low in the summer. Lots of insulation, high r rating hurricane glass. Solar operated fans...

Sorry if I misled you. I was doubling GenSao’s usage because I had twice as many Powerwalls. That amount x 30 days x 12 months, was roughly half a months consumption, just to condition the batteries for a year. My Powerwall installation messed up the Envoy consumption monitoring I had relied...

Yes, a little under the level that I’d be required to buy an insurance policy for my electric utility. 12 kw.

Thanks for responding GenSao. That’s equal to about half a month electric bill per year for me. Not trivial. Or conducive generating new Powerwall orders, possible why reporting it is now suppressed.

I use my Powerwall as back up only. I know it needs some energy for cooling and to top off the charge even ifI don’t have a power outage. But, the Tesla app doesn’t make it easy to see how much this energy cost is. Does anyone have an idea? Will my standby battery energy consumption be...

Many smart people being very helpful on this forum. A couple of more thoughts about Solar in FL, How much roof life is left can deter people from adding solar panels as a new FL roof can be expensive and added to a solar install can put the project out of reach or delay it years until the...

I live in S FL and have 33 solar panels for almost 2 years and just added 4 Powerwalls. My utility is FPL, looks like Orlando uses OUC. Contact your electric company and see what the rules are. What FPL does is not necessarily what OUC will do. FPL net metering. Good deal, they want to stop...

Thank you for this very interesting information.

........on this. I have several UPSs that have display of some of this. Also an Envoy that records some more data. Unfortunately the Consumption CTs we’re reinstalled incorrectly by my Tesla install team, and I’ve yet to resolve that.

Thanks, I’ve ruminations

Thanks Dan. I agree with your conclusion.

Thanks, I’m going to need my data points, but I’m happy the grid is back up.

Thanks. I think you’re correct in your supposition. I’m not sure I’m willing to surrender defeat. Some how, some day, some way A solution might be discovered.

Thanks. I’ve got more observing to do, but I think you’re right. I’m wondering how to avoid the flicker that it looks like the devices are reading as a commanded power cycle. Would use Of the the Powerwalls in self powered mode result in a more continuous power transfer between grid...

Powerwall in backup only mode. Storm guard is on. I had my first power outage early this am. The change from grid powered to Powerwall powered, resulted in all my lights turning on. I’m using a Wink 2 hub and both Zigbee and Z wave devices. The hub is on a UPS backup power supply, but that’s...

Thanks for that. The OCP in me is going to force me to fix it.

Hi, and thank you. You are very much correct. I did gain the ability to see the gateway from my home network, just needed a little more time they I gave it at first. I was also able to change the password, the problem looked to be just the iPad interface having issues displaying a...

Hi, thank you for that very useful information. I was able to connect via the gateway’s own Wi-Fi and configure a connection to the internet via my home Wi-Fi, but I couldn’t configure the Ethernet connection, change password or connect to the gateway via my home network. I might have a bad...

Thanks, I guess I’ll wait and see what towers get taken down by hurricane and deduce it that way.

Thanks that’s very interesting. I know to connect to my network over Ethernet a password is required. No one ever asked me for it. I would not characterize my installation team as first rate. I’ve been left to myself to finish up the installation. When the old breaker box was removed it...

Thank you. So it’s cellular that’s delivering my data. Any idea how I can discover the carrier or tower used?

Thanks. I can monitor all devices on my network, and see no new Mac connected. Is the gateway access point Wi-Fi? How do I connect?

Thanks for that information. All the CTs in my system are located within the gateway it self. It’s the Envoy Consumption CTs that are the problem.

Thank you for the reply. It’s good to know my results represents a normal condition.

An additional question; an Ethernet cable was used to connect the gateway to my router. The gateway is not connected to my network, I don’t see any interface that allows me to configure the connection, yet the Tesla app on my iPad sees data from the gateway. The Tesla service tech said the 2...

I just had Tesla install 4 pw2s to my 12 kw Enphase/Hyundai PV system with Envoy monitoring. The system is in Backup only mode and presently in Stormwatch state. The Tesla app shows the charge state of the pws at 98%. Is this the nominal full charge condition I should expect to see? My...
