Not only do modern panels negate a lot of the need for optimizers, but with the Powerwall3, you can split the panels into multiple strings, 6 per powerwall, so you can isolate the panels that are going to get shaded in your example. I just had two PW3s installed and removed my SolarEdge inverter as well as the microinverters on a separate older 10-panel system. Removed a lot of equipment and using the Tesla Backup Switch, I have whole house backup as well as backing up my separate workshop. I'll probably add more panels and the add-on batteries when they come online.

Good video Dale! Very insightful as always. Would you ever consider using the SE Indop with a powerwall DC coupled for a moderately shaded site like this? That $5k difference could likely cover it then you get all your optimizer and monitoring advantages with the higher backup battery output.

Does open solar model shade? For this site that might be relevant

Excellent info, thank you! Why would you not go much above 16 kw of panels? Is that limit per battery or the whole system?

[David-jvdw]

I bought Starlink on line, I could buy a Tesla car on line but the Powerwall I have to go through an installer?

[denisemontone]

Dale, that state rebate SGIP has run out of money, so says your competitor in San Diego. Is that true?

[Jamby]

Can you pair solar edge optimizers with Powerwall 3?

[atomicdmt]

do these work with a SPAN SMART PANEL?

[tombenzing]

Didn't cover the difference if they're shade involved. Solar Edge produces much more because every panel has an optimizer. Tesla has a string inverter. With Tesla multiple panels will shut down if one of them is shaded

[astewart]

That’s a lot of shading? 😄 2/3 of my roof is in full shade all day when the oak tree has leaves on it.

So literally neither are worth the money or the solar arrays to charge them, way too expensive when finally paid for the warranty and equipment will need to be replaced...
