PowerShare with Powerwall UPDATE from Wes!

[mongo]

Understood, I believe consistent with my comment - the existing power cutoff, whatever that is, for the existing solar, would need to be eliminated, with the Gateway 3 taking over that job - so it isn't just adding Gateway to make it happen, requires reconfiguration? What's missing in that diagram is the current grid switch that turns off solar when the grid is down. I may have said it in a confused way, pardon my relative lack of expertise on this topic.

There is no separate power cutoff for the solar nor does the Gateway control the solar.
When the solar inverter sees a valid grid (~240V ~60 Hz), it outputs power. When Powershare is active, the Cybertruck generates the grid waveform.

The questioner has existing solar and wanted to know about adding bidirectional charging with gateway and no powerwall. He must have some sort of existing grid disconnect for his current stanalone solar installation. That will need to change to do what he asked, correct?

The existing system would have an emergency/ maintenance disconnect on the solar AC and DC feeds. That stays the same once the GW 3V is placed between the Cybertruck+solar+UWC and the grid.
GW does then disconnect solar from grid when power goes out.

Hey guys. If I don't have powerwall backup but have non tesla solar panels can I get a 3v gateway and have it work as a backup from my truck?

GW 3V + truck + UWC+ 3rd party UL1741 solar = daytime recharging backup system (of course, without truck the solar won't output, unless it's an islanding type).
