Nice work! Regarding expansion of the Solar, for example, say you use 2 of the MPPTs and in the future aim to install into the third, does this need support for Tesla to commission? Cheers.
I’ve never been a “huge” fan of the Powerwall but the PW3 is so much better and great value for money. The gateway could do with a new version but overall I really like the PW3
@ had a few options to be fair, but thought the backing of having a Tesla system would be an advantage down the line. Maybe being taken in by the glitz! We will see.
I think I'm right in saying that you 'have to' get your settings correct at commissioning... My PW3 was commissioned with a limited charge rate, so the battery wouldn't grid charge higher than 1.7kW when I first tried.... Found this info on the Tesla Academy RUclips and contacted Tesla support for them to change the setting. Apparently installer gets one shot at it, then you have to go to 'support' to have it changed. (With my initial setting, I'd not have been able to fully charge in the 3 hour 'Octopus Flux' window for use the next day.. Important consideration in winter). I'm looking forward to the expansion battery units (due Q1-2025 in UK according to Tesla) as my ideal for winter would be 2x13.5kWh
Thats exactly right, upon first commission the engineer can set the inverter and G100 settings. After that it requires Tesla to make any further changes.
Looks good guys, How does one overcome the fuse box/consumer unit created in the gateway being installed in a combustible construction (namely plastic), do you get the client to waiver this ? This looks like its gonna shake the market this battery a bit which is nice 😊
Thats a good question and not one I can honestly say I had considered before. I would maybe class that as a deviation outside the scope of BS7671 but I would also be looking to see if the gateway falls within this specific reg.... its something we will certainly be looking in to.
Looks near identical scale to what I’m looking for, don’t suppose you could give an idea of budget please? I want 28*455W, 1 PW3 DC coupled, similar size property but we have concrete tiles not slate. You in the NW, your website doesn’t seem to work?
Hello, Yes were in the Northwest. Our website was down over the weekend whilst we did some housekeeping on it. Please feel free to drop us an email and we can discuss your project and get you some prices over. Thanks Ben
@@Evorenewables Could you drop a link to the new DC isolator instructions you mentioned at the beginning please. I'm having a PW3 system installed next week and want to educate myself
What about those pocket pants you are sporting? Are the pockets part of the pants? where can we get those?
Standard Snickers workwear 👌

No you can simply connect it and it will work without having to call Tesla support.
I’m away to have a similar system installed.
Garage is separate from the house. 4.4kw of solar though.
Looks a tidy job.

Doesn’t look like there’s very much inside the power wall after inverter and wiring bits? Tidy job though.
It’s actually very simple to install and great that the inverter is configurable
What a shame it needs those isolators
That's our thoughts too, normally we would have just used the Tesla isolator however their instructions says to install external isolators.

Hey,
It’s on the installer partner October news letter which gets emailed out. If you wanted to drop us an email I can forward it on to you.
