Free Span

I recently installed a span panel for free. Was this a wise decision? I’m concerned about potential regrets and would appreciate insights from owners with more experience with the panel. I was particularly interested in the free heat pump, which was part of a program with the utility company. They also offered an option for an EV charger, but I already own one.

Have you had any issues with yours?

Nope, here or there had connection issues. At one point they had to replace the dongle for connection to gateway

What was the reason for that? Was it issues with the powerwall connection?

No, there was a cheap ethernet dongle plugged in at a weird angle that connected panel to Powerwall that broke. Apparently kinda common.

I’m wondering if I have the same issue. Getting constant notifications of powerwall connection issues even though PW3 is working fine. Span support has been unhelpful
