Are Powerwalls able to function/provide backup power without a connected gateway?
I am having my Gateway 2 relocated from an interior garage wall to the exterior side of the same wall, and ideally would like my Powerwalls to continue providing power while the electrician disconnects, moves, and reconnects the Gateway box itself. Currently the Powerwall breakers are connected directly inside my load panel, so can remain connected during the move. Obviously the system can function when the grid itself is disconnected, but I'm not clear if the Powerwalls require control from the Gateway to continue discharging.
I suppose I could test this myself by first doing a grid disconnect so they start discharging then flipping the main breaker in my panel to electrically isolate the gateway entirely, but I was wondering if anyone else had done this before or knew specifically how the Powerwalls are controlled in this situation.
