Powershare Update - Solar while islanding without powerwall

[Coolhandz]

Robruok - just wanted to confirm that your system is still working well. We're having an additional/parallel solar system being installed today, and from what I understand they can land the solar in the Powershare Gateway instead of the panel. From what I read in a different thread that's what you did, which is what enabled you to have your solar function during daylight hours and power your house & Cybertruck during an outage where it's disconnected from the grid. Do I have that right?

I am interested in the answer to this question as well.

I signed an agreement with a solar company in my area this last weekend and am trying to ensure I pick all the right hardware needed.

Ideally I want everything to work seamlessly through the Tesla app and to have the CT work as a battery backup in the event of an outage while also still being able to to use solar when there is sun. So far I know we need the Powershare Gateway. Also getting a SPAN panel upgrade to independently manage circuits. Not sure what else to look out for though.

Everything seemed to work for me. They dropped the new solar circuit into the Gateway instead of the main panel, and when we cut the power to the grid Solar kept working and the panels were both feeding backed up circuits and charging the car.

And an earthquake just hit here in OC - hope I don’t need it.
