So I understand that currently, Solar + Powerwall doesn't allow the Cybertruck to be used as additional battery, and is "supposed" to be fixed via software by EOY.

I'm confused about the correct configuration needed to have this work when that software comes out?

Am I required to use the Powerwall Inverter to connect DC to the Solar panels? Or can I use Enphase Microinverters and connect to the Powerwall via AC?

Does my UWC just need to be connected to the electrical panel that the Powerwall is backing up? Or does the UWC connect DIRECTLY to the Powerwall?

Wanting to install something before the end of the 30%, but also don't want to do it incorrectly, and solar installers don't seem to either know, or understand what I am asking.

Thanks in advance.

The Wall Connector just needs to connect somewhere on the backed up side of your Gateway (or meter mounted Backup Switch).

Any UL 1741 solar inverter should be fine.

I have hope this will still be available by end of this year.
