    Lien Purchase advice

    We just did for a much cheaper used car. We got a bill of sale and everyone signed it, got a cashiers check and went with the seller to their bank, deposited it into their account with them, they got a check from their bank for the lien balance written to the loan company, went with them to send...

    Is Telsa proposing the right thing for my Powerwall installation?

    could you install a capacitor on the motor to reduce startup amps used? Can do this for AC units to reduce number of powerwalls needed. hard start/soft start kit or something like that

    SCE Rate Plans changing 3/1/19?

    I think they are just trying to price power what it costs and encourage generation when power is needed and usage when there is more power available. Supply and demand. Regulations slow that down which is great for us with solar, because there is so much power available during the day power is...

    SCE Rate Plans changing 3/1/19?

    There are legitimate concerns about grid stability with solar power generation controlled by weather and season, not by demand. That said, I still installed solar on my house and plan to buy powerwall if the grid suffers enough from the glut of solar.

    SCE Rate Plans changing 3/1/19?

    Can anyone figure out how the baseline credit on TOU-D-A affects solar generation/is calculated? Trying to figure out if I should switch to TOU-D-B before 3/1, but cant find any info on how bill is calculated. SCE has also not given me any usage or generation data until a week ago, and no...

    Supercharger - Tejon Ranch, CA (expanded to 24 V2 stalls)

    Nice stop tonight - grabbed In-n-Out drive thru and had a quick 20 minute charge and dinner to make it home! Skipped Kettleman and chose more food options instead.

    Installing Solar, HPWC, future proof Powerwall?

    Another update - got my Permission To Operate! Panels are turning the meter backward (slowly due to SoCal June gloom), and I’m excited to see how the current system does with my usage. Also have HPWC going; it’s great to have max charge speed ability. Don’t really need the full 48A charge rate...

    Installing Solar, HPWC, future proof Powerwall?

    Quick update - old buried conduit is not allowing old wires to budge, so going to have to dig and put in new stuff. They’re going to drop 1 1/4” to support 100A, which seems fine. At least I will now max out the Model 3 charging ability!

    Installing Solar, HPWC, future proof Powerwall?

    Thanks for all your thoughts. Install starts tomorrow! For main panel - going to leave longer wire so that in the future we can blank out the meter, put jumpers to the box, and turn it into a sub panel attached to a gateway. It is a 200A breaker, 225A bus bar, so can triple the current solar...

    Installing Solar, HPWC, future proof Powerwall?

    Interesting -- what's the rest of your system look like? Is the gateway connected between panel and meter somehow, or to a sub-panel off of that main meter combo panel?

    Installing Solar, HPWC, future proof Powerwall?

    I will have a 200amp service, 225amp busbar, meter combo panel for the main now. I asked about separating meter and main panel, but there's only so much future-proofing that makes sense now. Also, looks like you can potentially turn a main panel into a subpanel in the future if need be. Not...

    Installing Solar, HPWC, future proof Powerwall?

    Currently have 60A subpanel in the garage, no solar at all. Subpanel connected through conduit through driveway to main panel. This is interesting, will have to ask what main panel is. This helps, thanks much for your thoughts!

    Installing Solar, HPWC, future proof Powerwall?

    No other subpanels. Main panel on the house - garage is detached, and conduit is run under/through concrete driveway, so painful to increase beyond 60A 6gauge wiring. Interesting point, thanks for the heads up Currently, would need to either keep max 60A rated going back and forth garage to...

    Installing Solar, HPWC, future proof Powerwall?

    Updated - garage sub panel will be 125A, still fed by 60A breaker. 200A panel could be upgraded to 225A pretty reasonably and then support 70A backfeed - might be best to do that?

    Installing Solar, HPWC, future proof Powerwall?

    I bought a house and am having solar installed, along with HPWC. Both 4.3kW (DC rating, 4 kW AC) solar and HPWC @ 50A breaker will be in a garage sub panel, fed by 3/4” conduit, which I believe can take max 60A breaker on main panel side. Does the garage sub panel need to be 100A to avoid...
