    Wow! I was not aware of that! I would have thrown that at them a month ago had I known. Thanks!

    Tesla Powerwall II Performance Notice - turn off, we will replace

    It's been a couple of months now, but back on 10/16/18 I received an e-mail from Tesla asking me to turn off one of the two Powerwall IIs that were installed in December last year. Here's the message: "Subject: Tesla Powerwall Performance Notice: INQ20181009-xxx My name is Jestee and I'm...

    Roof mounted vs ground mounted solar array

    I live in San Diego, exact opposite corner of the country from you, and we installed a 6.3kW ground mount solar array in April 2016. We live on an acre of land, most of it undeveloped, and we have a hillside behind and below the house that was nearly the optimal angle for a ground mount system...

    Anyone get SGIP $$ back yet?

    Same here. Ordered in April 2017, installed on 12/27, inspected by city on 12/29. Got the same e-mail that payment was pending a possible final onsite inspection. Got the same e-mail that they had approved my install with no onsite inspection. Then I got an e-mail indicating that a check...

    SGIP Update e-mail

    Woohoo! We received our SGIP rebate yesterday! We received another e-mail from Joe Bick in the morning telling us that our incentive payment has been made. The check for $11,600 was in the afternoon mail. I immediately made a trip to the CU and deposited it!

    SGIP rebate for Powerwall 2 install in SCE territory?

    I just received an e-mail yesterday notifying us that our project has been approved for reimbursement and we should receive payment in approximately 30 days. This was only 10 days after receiving an e-mail indicating that a review would be conducted and an inspection would be conducted by a...

    SGIP Update e-mail

    I just received an e-mail from Joe Bick, project coordinator, Self-Generation Incentive Program at Center for Sustainable Energy. Apparently my Telsa Powerwall project (2x Powerwall 2) has been approved for payment and I should receive the payment in approximately 30 days! No site inspection...

    SGIP Update e-mail

    Update: Checked the SGIP website under "Real-Time Public Report" and it now shows an interconnect date for my installation of 1/2/18 where previously it showed nothing. It was actually turned on on 12/27/17, and it appears that the holidays delayed the actual interconnect date. Payment dates...

    Ordered a Powerwall even when lacking ROI or common sense

    I did a Tesla overnight test drive Monday night from their showroom in La Jolla, CA. I was chatting with someone in the showroom about the Powerwall, telling that I've had two installed since December. I asked about backlog and they said "probably the end of next year"!

    With 2 Powerwalls and plenty of solar, why am I using slight amt of grid power?

    What utility is that? You list your location as "California". Why not just indicate what utility you're talking about and list the city you live in as your location? Makes it so much easier to address questions.

    Powerwall disconnected from WiFi and forced a cellular connection

    Care to enlighten me? I've read the PVOutput documentation and my understanding is that when the Powerwall is getting it's Internet connection from your WiFi and you're running the PVOutput process on a PC, it queries the Powerwall on the IP address that the Powerwall is using. How does...

    Powerwall disconnected from WiFi and forced a cellular connection

    As I explained in my original post, WiFi coverage is not the problem. I have an access point right next to the Powerwalls, on the other side of the garage wall from the Backup Gateway. I've been running in on the same WiFi connection since 12/29/17. When I run the Wizard, it shows the highest...

    I knew that! Yup, it's 1.17.1, corrected above (or not, apparently I can't edit it anymore).

    Powerwall disconnected from WiFi and forced a cellular connection

    A couple of days ago I noticed that PVOutput was no longer getting the extended data from my Powerwalls. I went back through the PVOutput logs and discovered that data collection stopped around 7:30 PM on 5/17. Last night I went into the Wizard and discovered that the whole interface had...

    My Powerwall 2 was installed in March of 2017 and I am still waiting to receive the SGIP rebate.

    My 2x Powerwall 2 installation was completed on December 29, 2017. I contacted my installer on Friday and got back the following message: "We submitted your Incentive Claim Form on 4/18/18 once we received your Tesla discharge data. The Center of Sustainable Energy has been inspecting and...

    Time-Based Control?

    My Android apps got updated to 1.15.1 (not sure when) and when I just checked, I've got TOU. PW is on 3.3.4.

    What is your Powerwall 2 charging rate?

    The way that I read your "Battery State" you appear to be maxing out at 10kW. It appears that you have the "Battery State" as an area rather than a line. You also have "Solar Generation" as a line instead of an area. My "Battery State" line shows it maxing out at 10kW, same as yours. I did...

    Powerwall Connection Options

    My PWs are mounted inside the garage on an outside wall. If I go out into the garage, there is a soft hum that I can hear from the doorway about six feet away. The cooling system is at the top of the unit, with the air intake at the upper left side and the air exhaust at the upper right side...

    What is your reserve percentage set to and why?

    I started this thread to get an idea of what people were setting their reserve percentage to and why. When my PWs were installed in December the reserve capacity was set to 20% but I had no knowledge basis or experience for setting it otherwise. After playing around with various percentages, I...

    TESLA APP FOR PC

    This is a good looking app but doesn't have all of the functionality of the Tesla smartphone app in that it doesn't allow you to customize your reserve capacity. If this app were expanded to have that capability and also add the capability to automate changes to the reserve capacity on a...

    PowerWall with Enphase microinverters

    I have 20 LG NeON2 LG315N1CG4 315W Solar Panels with 20 Enphase S280 Microinverters (6.3 kW) installed in April 2016. I have two Tesla 2 Powerwalls. I've also replaced all lights with LEDs and replaced a Panasonic plasma 65" HDTV with an LG OLED 65" 4K UHDTV. I'm running the PWs in...

    Awww crap, I painted my Calipers

    Nice job! I don't have a Tesla car (Powerwall 2) but I've painted the calipers on a few cars on the past. The decals are a nice touch, especially using just the "T" on the smaller rear caliper.

    What is your reserve percentage set to and why?

    If you have your Powerwall 2 set to "Self-powered" what did you set your reserve percentage to and how/why did you choose that value? Since your installation, have you increased or decreased the percentage?

    Tesla to Sell Solar/Powerwalls at Home Depot

    I was in the area today and I needed to go to Home Depot, so I stopped by and took a photo of the Tesla display. There were two guys there to answer questions. One of them was a total geek and just about lost it when I told him I had two Powerwalls and showed him my app and the info from...

    Software versions for Powerwall 2?

    I'm now thinking about doing the same thing as well. I'm much more familiar with Win10 than Linux. Any reason why you bought the version without the Ethernet port? When I do move to the Raspberry Pi and free this up for other projects, possibly streaming or a Plex server, the Ethernet port...

    Wow, lots of interchange on this since I asked the question just four days ago! And thanks to that interchange between you and gregsapphire, I've gotten to the wizard! It turns out that my installer set up cellular for the Backup Gateway Internet connection. I saw the TEG-xxx in my WiFi list...
