If you want to be completely off the grid, not use your credit and not pay for charging, dial the amp down to 23-25A and it will charge at 6 kW. It takes longer but it doesn't matter you are home anyways. That way you can just use your solar energy only or supplement with powerwall if your AC comes on or you want to use the oven.

Hmm. So the 10 kW system and a single PowerWall that I was just quote on should work quite well, especially since I’m leaning on the Mobile Charger and a NEMA 14-50 (32 A max) instead of the stationary charger (48A max). This is encouraging.

I'm based in the UK... have a Tesla Model 3 Performance and two Powerwalls & Gateway 2 ... I also had two Ev chargers fitted. 1 x 7kW and 1 x 22 kW
I had two Ev chargers fitted for redundancy, and also the 22kW version is Grid Only. But the 7kW version is via the Powerwalls. So I can use it for Solar Excess, Stored Solar, or charging a second car at the same time when using the other 22kW version.

What happens if the grid power is lost during a night charging session? Is the system smart enough to adjust so the car doesn’t try to pull the same amount of amps it was pulling right before the outage?

Hi, great video! Do you only have one power wall?
felipemedina
What if you connect two power walls in series ? Can we increase power output to 10kw?
erandalee
Thanks for the video. How often do you use the powerwall to charge your tesla and what percentage of the powerwall is dedicated to the car?

Since you're replying to every other comments, my questions is, this solar powerwall does charge your car battery whenever you want right?

So if 2 powerwalls is 27kwh of storage, and I’m averaging about 50kwh a day to charge my model 3, would that be enough storage? I’m pretty sure I’m doing that math wrong and I know kW and KwH have different meanings across the board. But if I have 2 full powerwalls when the sun goes down and I get home from work to plug in my Tesla. I can only charge up to 27kwh (less depending on backup reserve) and the rest from the grid ?
I was told 2 powerwalls should be plenty for charging my EV but the math doesn’t add up. If someone could help explain I’d appreciate it!

Do you also have Tesla solar panels? I can get the car, charger and powerwall from Tesla but the Solar panels would be 3rd party. Does this all still work?
experimental_av
if your powerwall is 12kwh and your car is 60kwh. does it mean you need to charge the power wall 6 times in order to fully charge your car?
StylianosKoupepides
Can you dial down the rate at which the Tesla is charging so as to draw on the PW at 3 kW? How?
tishnsteve
Have a question when I charge my car it pulls from the grid not my power wall do I have an issue ?
balk
What is the total battery of model 3 (in kwh) ????

What Solar package did you go with for your home? 9.60kW? 14.40kW? Or 19.20kW?
Ghostdc
I seriously thought that the tesla could only charge at 11Kw at home but could only charge at a higher rate at commercial chargers (including Tesla superchargers). What’s the max can the tesla charge at home?
anthonycraig
How much drain do you put on the Tesla battery on average per day? If the average percentage drain is low enough, you only need to top it off each night right? Would this be within the Powerwall's capacity?
