I don't have a Tesla solar array. I have an old enphase system. I think that is why it doesn't say anything about solar. But it does show at the bottom of the previous picture that the truck is being powered while in PowerShare mode.
I don't have a power wall either. And it is glorious that I don't have to pay for a power wall in order to get the benefit of my enphase solar array while islanding.
And yet I posted the photos showing the truck being charged while acting in power share mode and my main breaker being off so they figured it out somehow. Now I did specifically have them move my solar breaker to the backed up load section even though I had to pay extra for that. They tried to...
I am not affiliated in any way with this company. Just thought it would be a good idea to share what I researched with others.
Being that there might be some kind of delay in getting parts or excessive insurance costs if I get rear-ended and having suffered whiplash myself I researched a way to...
I was told that you have to have a contract with a Tesla certified installer before you can purchase the power share equipment now. I was also told by a Qmerit installer that you had to go through them in order to get the free equipment. I talked to SmartCharge America and they said that that...
the Gateway needs to be smart enough to control the solar. I.E. if the power goes off, and the solar automatically goes off (as is the case with older enphase inverters) then the truck disconnects from the grid and supplies power, then the panels could kick on, and think the the grid is on, and...
just noticed
I just noticed this reply from the contractor Qmerit assigned:
This is the response from Qmerit regarding the solar –
"Unless this is a line side tap on the solar, it is recommended to move the solar breakers to the gateway. Here is the rub on that. Tesla does not have the...
That's what I'm afraid of, unless it's not necessary. It's vitally important to me that the solar array is controlled or I don't want to get into some kind of goofy loop where the The power goes out: The enphase
Inverters don't detect the grids so they shut down. Then the truck decides to power...
We may be speaking at cross purposes. I mean obvious if the truck is providing prolonged islanded power, then the solar panels would prolong that capability. I don't care how they connected to the gateway just that it is indeed connected and that it works as a comprehensive cohesive whole
I have an older enphase system, and am in the same boat, but I have yet to install. Did your installer specifically somehow link the breaker for the enphase to the gateway or is that not necessary? It doesn't bother me that it doesn't work right now as long as I get it correctly set up from the...
