I got the notice that Piwershare with solar and backup generator was ready, and Tesla sent me a note to that effect. I also finally got the control to show up, but it wasn’t working, so I contacted Willow Glen and they came out. Sure enough it wasn’t working, so they got on the phone with Tesla Energy. Eventually we were able to get the PowerShare to work, but it has to be engaged (and disengaged) manually from the app. Tesla Energy said that Powershare with islanding (any alternate power source) isn’t working, no matter what anyone says. So is yours working automatically now or are you in the same boat as me?
Oh, sorry, I thought you were all set up now.
Just amazed I have been waiting about a year for this thing to get all wired up and still no clue when it will be. ?. I have non Tesla solar and no other backup generator.
There shouldn’t really be a difference between the 2 setups other than the fact that I have a transfer switch and you probably don’t.
Yes, a year is too long.
No, they didn’t. I had a local electrician do all the work enumerated below and PG&E was only directly involved with increasing the electric service, which they inspected and approved. The county inspected and approved everything else. We did all of this in several projects and PG&E permits and county permits were required several times. When PG&E came to inspect the transfer switch was already in place.
