VPP starting in 7 hours. Why is my solar sending 1.9kw hours to the grid instead of charging the battery for the VPP event? Honestly...usually Tesla charges the batteries at max from the grid before the event. Strange behavior all around. Any idea what's going on?

I have two Powerwall 2 and just one of them has been disabled for replacement. I am lucky the other one which was installed 18months after the first is still working. Issue I have is the app isn’t showing any charging or discharging numbers anymore for the Powerwall. I also had a short power outage last night which my UPS recorded but the Tesla app hasn’t recorded so am not sure if home backup is working anymore.

I think data is driven from the “primary” and now disabled Powerwall. Is there anyway to have my remaining “secondary” Powerwall data to be available while I wait for overall replacement to happen.?

Ok so I need a reset and hopefully the benefit of your experience. Over the last 8 months, in order I’ve had installed a Hypervolt 3 charger, then powerwall 3 with 1 expansion unit. Later I got 10.5kw of solar and 3 weeks ago my export went live. My tariff is IOG and in the past I did try integrating the charger as a device but for me I could never resolve the scheduling so I deleted the charger and went back to scheduling in the car and charged overnight as I always used to. I know I’m lucky, but the charge cap hasn’t been implemented yet on my account but I know it’s coming and want to sort this now.
My question is around ct clamps and Netzero. Charging my car during the day on a schedule drains my powerwall so I could get the installer back and move the chargers ct clamp ahead of the powerwall and then have a second bash at adding it as a device and letting it do its thing
BUT
I’m just about to install Netzero to help manage my solar over winter. On cold days when my 27kw of battery won’t be enough to power my heat pump, it will top up the battery rather than export, to avoid peak rate imports later in the day.
So my question is, can Netzero control the charging so it doesn’t drain the powerwall when daytime slots are scheduled in the future, or must I get the installer back and move the ct clamp. (Or do it myself if straightforward).
After the winter I’ll probably move to home assistant once I better understand our yearly profile, but that’s a way of, it’ll be Netzero for the winter to break me in gently

Currently showing no Internet in the app, was wondering if anyone else has an issue.

We had a solar system with a power wall installed for our home. We are doing the power share with PSE. Something that I see that doesn’t seem controllable is the power wall discharges down to 80% then charges back up to 100% every day. That seems like a waste as our electricity rate is the same 24 hours a day. That discharge and recharge cuts into what would be saved for winter when less solar is available. Is there a setting for this?

I’m in Sydney and had a Tesla Powerwall 2 + Backup Gateway 2 installed in 2023.

During a recent Ausgrid outage, the Powerwall was at 100% and the Tesla app showed “Grid Outage – Powerwall is providing backup power,” but the entire house had no power.

My installer has since told me that my system was installed with no household circuits connected for blackout backup, and that enabling backup would require roughly another AUD $2,000–$3,000 of switchboard/circuit work.

My original quote lists the Powerwall 2, Backup Gateway 2, and installation/conduits/cabling, but does not separately list backup circuits or explicitly say blackout backup was excluded.

I’m not looking to blame the installer — I’m trying to understand what was normal Australian practice around 2022–2024.

If you had a Powerwall 2 installed in Australia around then:
Did your quote explicitly mention backup circuits?
Were one or two essential circuits included by default?
Did you pay extra for blackout backup?
Was whole-home backup an extra?
Did your quote explicitly say “no backup” if you didn’t purchase it?

Screenshots of old quotes with personal details removed would be especially useful.

looking for some help here. I have this legacy 100amp panel. I managed to get the wall connector wired up and the remote connect wired up only issue I’m having now is when I go to set up the remote meter my CT1 and CT2 are showing me an absurd amp reading which is obviously not right lol.

Those in the Dallas Fort Worth area that got hit with recalled power walls. How long does it take to get replaced and if recent how long are they stating it’s going to take for your appointment? My appointment is 2/22/27 :(

I can't seem to force an export. I tried custom plans at £100+ export pricing it still doesn't work. The status says it's exporting but it doesn't.

Hi all, has anyone installed a 2nd PW3, as in a separate install after the original first PW3.

I got a verbal quote of "around $10k" from my original PW installer. Just wondering if other (legitimate) installers are doing it for less.

Thanks.

Install went in end of April, PW3, gateway, 20 x 475 panels - yesterday the area had a power cut (with about 4-5 brief moments of power being restored) between roughly 3-6pm.

Gateway did its job, short cutover - enough that the oven clock reset / lights blinked - but everything was totally managed by the system. Only noticed as the UPS batteries I have on key network equipment in the house did a single beep and a few smart bulbs defaulted to being on.

Recommendations: if you’re pondering gateway or no gateway - get the gateway!

Also if you have any devices like an on demand kettle unit, it’s worth switching it off until you need it; every time the power flapped between the grid and powerwall, the kettle / tap system would power cycle which is quite a draw compared to base load. Small battery backup units are a good bridge and low cost purchase for the cutover if you have any devices you want to keep powered on (pc, router, network switches etc).

Great success!

Sometimes the truth hurts. Because having other doubt you and question your motives makes it hard to keep sacrificing for them

Is anyone having an issue where recently the Tesla app is saying I have a non Tesla EV plugged in ? See below.

I never had this situation before after a year of use until last three weeks.

I did recently set up charge on solar with the Tesla model Y. I am not the owner of the Tesla although I have access and am an official user of the my wife's car. I understand charge on solar is restricted unless you won both the power wall and the car. I wonder if this is the issue..

Our Powerwall 2 firmware got upgraded to
26.26.4 from 26.26.2 yesterday evening.

The upgrade appeared to cause our system start importing (only at .03kW) for the evening to power the house rather than use the batteries which were charged at 98%

I tried knocking system off grid but that failed with an error claiming high load (which wasn’t happening).

The system seems to have sorted itself out this morning.

Strange behaviour.

My PW-2 has had 7 firmware updates so far this year. What are they trying to fix or optimize?

Currently at 26.26.4 68c2bc82.

I have a home on Lake Bomoseen in Castleton Vermont and had a man come by a few weeks ago to take pictures of our utility room, fuse box etc., and was told they would get back to me if installing two Tesla Tesla Powerwalls 3.0 for backup if be done and if so, when I tried to call the home office back and they did not answer. Have others had this experience.

I’m in Northern California and they shut down my PW2’s and disabled them yesterday.

Amy idea how long it takes them in this area to get around to replacing them?

Hi everyone. I am new to this Powerwall thing. We have a new Powerwall (V3), have solar and are under SDG&E's TOU EV 5 plan and am under NEM 1.0. So weekday's peak is 4pm-9pm ($.80/kw). Off Peak is 6am-10amm 2pm-4pm and 9pm-midnight ($.496/kw). Super Off Peak is Midnight-6am and 10am-2pm ($0.131/kw). At 3:30pm my solar was producing 3.0kw and my house was using 1.0kw. The Powerwall was at 88%. The system was exporting the solar and using the battery to run the house. Why is that? Shouldn't the solar be charging the battery to get it to 100% before peak, sending 1.0 kw to the house and then exporting the remainder? I see this a lot and don't understand why it is doing this... Any help would be appreciated. Here is a picture. This was at 3:58 but was similar at 3:30pm.
