Can you post the model # of the USB fiber optic extender that you used and the optic cable used?

hello cool video i have a question can i use this system in europe?? you can't get it here in europe

Good vid!

I have an all-electric house and use a lot of power in the winter. Does the Power Wall 3 have a provision to hook up a backup generator -preferrably some type of a smart diesel generator that will start when the grid is out and the batteries fall below a certain preset level?

I am in the UK, great video. I can confirm that the UK supplied unit is very slightly different. The UK unit has a DC isolator switch on the right hand top corner. Only three MPPT strings allowed, (down from the 6 strings) shown here on this US unit? Our PW3 was commissioned on 30th Oct, 2024

I believe the shield for the DC side is to separate the DC conductors from other wiring in the unit. Does your AHJ not require that to be installed?

Thank you for the video , Just had two power walls threes installed in my basement. Not required, but I drywall the room with 5/8 drywall. From what I’ve heard, Tesla could not cause the battery to go to thermal runaway through their tests. Had to use the gateway, 3, between the panel and the utility meter. Everything working beautifully any thoughts?

Thanks for covering the aspect of matching an existing net metering limit for California folks doing retrofits.

I need an string level rapid shutdown to use with CertainTeed solar shingles, you guys have any suggestions Thanks

I have a similar installation as this one with a 60A breaker on a 200A service. The PCS setting should it be set at 200A or 160A? On mine I believe it is set at 200A

Great video and details, I was wondering about the 200 amp panel backfeed limit and how they kept from overloading the bus. Pretty cool and simple solution.

EG4 PVK18 inverter and Power pro 14.5KVH battery $8595. About 1/4 the cost of Tesla it's UL 9540A ESS certified.

Where does the Tesla Gateway fit in?

I see that there is multiple inputs to the inverter. What's stopping me from hooking up a generator to one of those inputs? Because the generator will output AC, a big bridge rectifier and a chunky capacitor to smooth out the ripple would give the DC it needs. So, as long as the voltage is in the right range, would it not work?

How much does it cost to have one installed?

+1 for DC wiring. However, I can see on big disadvantage with this solution. Switches should be with led indicators and possible touch to be able to control them also from other sources (eg. tablets). Also centralized drivers/controllers for easier maintenance. We are living in ages of Smart Homes and IoT!

Very Nice 👍 Good

Hi, I'm an electrical engineer and one thing I noticed in the video surprised me. At 3:04 it seems that you ran the communications wires from the "TACO" through the ferrite choke. Did the installation manual recommend doing this, or did you all do this as a "can't hurt to run everything through that!" decision? Probably not a issue and might be called for, but I was surprised to see those data lines going through the choke.

If I get solar is the only way to charge my Tesla power wall three from solar? Unless there is a storm coming is that the only other way is with storm watch? Is there a way to charge power wall three through the app manually just in case I needed to?

That's good your utility doesn't requirement a solar disconnect switch outside. Good job on install looks good.

You inspire confidence. Great video and explanation.

I know alot of home owners that hate that glass front 😂it's cheap for a million dollar company to use glass

Are those batteries better than the PowerBall 3?

Bravo!

I really like your company so far

Nice!

That’s music to my ears. I sent you an email.

I am interested, I sent you an email.

I am in San Diego and are wanting to get at least (2) Powerwall 3 batteries. I currently have solar panels (20) 450 Watts with mini-inverters, and a 200Amp panel. Do you guys offer financing like Tesla does and would I need to pull a permit with SDG&E? I don’t want to lose my NEM 1.0 I would like for the solar panels to charge the batteries until before dawn, and run the entire house during night time.

What if i dont want solar yet i just want a powerwall to kick in during power outages but would stay charged by the grid rather than solar. With an option to connect a generator to charge it during extended outages?

14:03 My electric utility meter (next to a pad mounted transformer) is about 130 feet from my main panel (200 amps). The two are connected underground. Since the backup switch fits under the meter, does the installer need to dig up the 130 feet conduit to connect the backup switch to the 200 amp service panel? Or does the backup switch only need to communicate with the utility meter?

1:15 Has Tesla confirmed LiFeP chemistry? I hear they have been gun shy about sharing the exact chemistry.

Impressive video. Great job! Thank you for sharing all of this important information. It is helpful.

Awesome vid! Trying to understand something. Need whole home backup now. Can I install PW3 bu batteries under NEM3.0 and add panels when ready, later? Would the tax credit apply to both installs?

Great video and explanation of PCS with the PW3 system

Why can’t I just use my Tesla model Y battery?

I have a Franklin WH battery system. I considered the Tesla Power Wall but the Franklin WH edged out Tesla because it is a slightly better system.

Awesome video. I am a tech nerd but just learning about solar. Very good explanation of how the whole wall works.

Too much specs. Homeowners don’t care about that stuff. They just want the payment to make sense.

Thank You for All that you are doing for our Planet Earth.... Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste 🙏🏻 😊 ✌ ☮ ❤

how long did it take you to get the utility approval for the backup switch?

So much jargon I have no idea what you’re saying

I thought those coils are detecting power generation and consumption ? I dont think yo can remove it

Please clear me that do we really need generator in completely off grid system with battery only in emphase system?????

I do like some of the ideas you have...

are you an electric engineer?

learn before you talk

Dave - Can you please share the follow-on video on commissioning and operation?

Peak output above 3KW is nothing more than marketing. A 13.5KWh battery supplying 3KW lasts 4.5 hours. Last time i checked, the sun is only supplying meaningful solar energy levels for 8 hours per day, and supplying nothing for 12 hours per day. So the battery must supply power for 12-16 hours per day = sub 1KW. Our house base demand is 700W. 0.7KW x 12 hours = 8.4KWh. Cooking dinner adds 2KWh. Leaving 3.4KWh for everything else (washing machine, drier, heating/cooling, dish washer, TV etc). Then look at energy storage cost across battery lifespan. In NZ, this is about $0.50/KWh (1 battery cycle per day, 365 per year, 10 year lifespan). But electricity only costs $0.35/KWh to buy from the power company Finally, PW3 uses NMC not LFP

Why can't this be used in Nigeria
