Re: [RE-wrenches] experience with the Tesla Powerwall

Marco, Thanks for sharing, it is good to hear details from an installer who is living with a Powerwall. We starting selling the Powerwall 2 in 2017 and have worked up a large pipeline. We have about 20 installed so far, but are still waiting on utility permission to operate which is taking a long

Re: [RE-wrenches] experience with the Tesla Powerwall

I would like to add my experience with Tesla so far. We applied to be an installer in Maine more than a year ago. Beside getting an initial email stating that they received our application, we have not heard a word since. I have one client with a SolarEdge 7600 StorEdge who put a deposit down in

Sounds like you are working with a 120/208V system? What do you get from line to ground? Benn Kilburn SkyFire Energy 780-906-7807 > On Feb 13, 2018, at 9:53 AM, Eric Stikes wrote: > > I am troubleshooting a SolarEdge system with 9kW 3-Ph inverters. The system > is

Re: [RE-wrenches] experience with the Tesla Powerwall

I think that this may have come up before, but I do not remember there being a resolution: Do you guys have any tips on becoming a Tesla dealer? We have people ask about it all the time, but we have not been able to get Tesla to respond. We have installed Sonnen, which is also a great system, but

Re: [RE-wrenches] experience with the Tesla Powerwall

Hi Dave - I keep hearing that Tesla is having a hard time keeping up with demand, so they may not be very motivated to add more dealers at this point. Just speculation. Yes, the max continuous and peak powers add as you add up as you add more powerwalls. Energy capacity adds too. Yes, Powerwall

Re: [RE-wrenches] experience with the Tesla Powerwall

An installer I have been working with here in southern VT has also repeatedly applied to become an installer with Tesla for powerwalls with no response.I cannot in good conscience recommend their products based on their history and unresponsiveness in our area. They may be great for Puerto

[RE-wrenches] Experience with the Tesla Powerwall

Hey August. By utility I assume that you are talking about PG What's the hang up? And are running the PWs in back-up power only mode or daily cycling mode? In either case, the addition of PW does not add to the generating capacity of the solar facility. marco On Tuesday, February 13, 2018,

[RE-wrenches] 3-Phase SolarEdge L-L 215v

I am troubleshooting a SolarEdge system with 9kW 3-Ph inverters. The system is working OK but production is a bit low. There may be other factors and I am looking into those too but I want to sort out this one issue: I am not too familiar with 3-phase and when I ask SolarEdge about best way to

Re: [RE-wrenches] experience with the Tesla Powerwall

The AC powerwall has cooling, it is a liquid? Anyone know if the 5kw continuous and 7kw peak limits change with multiple units? Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar "we go where powerlines don't" http://members.sti.net/offgridsolar/ e-mail offgridso...@sti.net text 209 813 0060 > I think that this may

I have also not gotten a response from Tesla. I have been encouraging all the powerwall calls I get to go with LG. On Tue, Feb 13, 2018 at 11:35 AM, Dave Tedeyan wrote: > I think that this may have come up before, but I do not remember there > being a resolution: > Do you

Re: [RE-wrenches] Experience with the Tesla Powerwall

Yes, PG The Self Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) created a flood of applications and PG is having a hard time keeping up. Hopefully it will get easier. We are enabling self-consumption and backup modes. The Powerwall charges daily from the solar and then discharges to a owner-set minimum

Re: [RE-wrenches] Experience with the Tesla Powerwall

Is there a financial benefit to the customer-generator to choose the self-powered mode, August? marco On Tuesday, February 13, 2018, August Goers wrote: > Yes, PG The Self Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) created a flood of > applications and PG is having a hard time

Re: [RE-wrenches] Experience with the Tesla Powerwall

The solar self consumption mode is a requirement in order to qualify for the SGIP incentive for PV-paired systems. For residential systems, the storage system must discharge a minimum of 52 full cycles per year which equates to once per week on average. In addition, solar self consumption mode

[RE-wrenches] Powerwall and other Li

Has anyone calculated a lifetime cost per stored and delivered kWh for any of these lithium battery systems? From the rough numbers I’ve come up with in the past it seems like daily cycling to avoid grid use would be a dead loss. The capital cost vs capacity and cycle life doesn’t add up.

Re: [RE-wrenches] 3-Phase SolarEdge L-L 215v

To date, we have had the greatest success placing a secondary transformer in between the inverter and the PCC( as we have run into this on more than one occasion already). The inverter seems to operate best, and weather it’s WYE, DELTA or a wild-leg(stinger) you can specify exactly what you
