PowerShare with Powerwall UPDATE from Wes!

Powershare Gateway (3V) is only needed for Powershare only setups.
If you have a Backup Switch or other version of Gateway, that is all that is needed.

I do not think that is [necessarily] the case, but I also do not know enough of how these things are implemented (e.g., regionally, energy supplier, configuration) to say. I have non-Tesla solar and a backup generator/transfer switch, and these were all in place when Tesla sent an installer to build my Powershare system. That was almost 2 years ago and it still doesn't work. What I mean by that is that it cannot automatically detect a power outage and shift to the truck for power. My transfer switch is downstream of the Gateway.

Thanks for the clear response. You say the Gateway is not necessary and Tesla providers say it is but still doesn’t work. I was just pointing that out.

Gateway 3V is required for Powershare backup
Gateway non-3V or Backup Switch are required for Powerwall backup and eventually PW with Powershare backup

by lame I meant that the installer didn't get yours working. Your setup does need a Gateway 3V and I'd help troubleshoot, if you want.
