My Powerwall 3 and solar setup

[Kamin]

Below are pictures of my installed setup. I was told that all I needed for the truck to be part of my house backup power is a software update. Seeing this posthttps://www.cybertruckownersclub.com/forum/threads/powershare-home-backup-now-working-with-powerwall-only-setup.28152/ I assume the powershare home backup saying "home not connected" is due to my solar. I have 3 Powerwall 3's with 2 connected to one 200 amp breaker panel and the other one connected to the 2nd 200 amp panel and the Cybertruck.

Does anyone see anything with my system that looks like it will not support the truck being used as part of the single powerwall backup capacity?

Nice setup! Were the 200A disconnects a local requirement?
More importantly, what does this line represent?

To me, your setup looks fine and ready for Powershare. Tesla Energy is supposed to release a software update to Powerwall to enable PowerShare with Cybertruck in Q3. My guess: it'll be released on Sept 30 lol.

September 30th what year is the question.

Have you tried manually testing powershare? If I understand it correctly you can turn off solar and test it. Not sure if powerwall needs to be disconnected as well.

Powershare does not currently work with Powerwall (waiting on software update).
A Powerwall installation does not have the Gateway 3V needed for Powershare to operate without a Powerwall.

My powerwall3 has gateway 3. But that's not the point. It won't switch to powershare automatically between powerwall and cybertruck, but shouldn't it still work through the wall connector if everything is powered off?

You have Gateway version 3, not 3V (Powershare version).
In a Powershare only system, 3V connects to the UWC via a four conductor power and data cable (12V + RS485).
So you do not have the correct Gateway nor cabling to make Powershare work on its own.

Same setup here, with PW2s though, 2 panels, 2 gateways, and 2PWs on each side. See the same as you. It says there "PowerShare not yet enabled for Powerwall customers" ... so that is what we are waiting on to change ;-). We should be good though. We've been waiting a good 1.5+ years though past when promised so they are going to either delivery soon hopefully or just give up.

Or it can go the way of range extender. In the worst case, we should be able to use it as a generator through 240v outlet.

Haha with the power hungry CT this looks like the appropriate setup, congrats.
