Thank you - do you have a link to purchase the Tesla microinverter for solar panels ? I’m looking at a ground mount install with third party solar panels
Hi, I’m getting 23 panels installed with 3 powerwall 3. I think right now it’s grouped as two strings 11 and 12 panels going to two powerwalls. Should I ask to do two 8 panels and one 7 panel each going to its own powerwall? They said it’s most efficient with it grouped to two strings. What are your thoughts?
my solar company cheaped out and I didn't catch it in the contract. I'm having to wait for the DC expansion PW3. I have just the one PW3 with inverter at the moment. Nothing like waiting for a product that isn't out yet....
correct, we cannot install PW3 in front of PW3. PW2 was stackable and we can install few of them in front of each other (search for images: "powerwall 2 stackable"). Because all of the connection in PW3 under the front cover, we cannot cover it with another PW3.
Mannn I wish you were in Florida. Very clean install and great video.
appreciate your feedback
Only thing is I would have put the disconnects side by side as I don’t think they are rated to have a knockout at the top of the disconnect.
Great work love watching your videos - quick question - can you connect 2 Tesla gateway 3.0 in parallel ?
I don't have much experience with Gateway yet. I'm assuming you want to parallel them for 400A service?
Yes that’s correct - backup switch won’t work for 400A

3 strings, one to each powerwall to charge dc to dc will be most efficient
@@SolarEngineering Thank you! I'm having Tesla change the design planned to split to just two PW3

I have two Powerwall 3, but with the inverter only connected in one.
Now, after years of development, Tesla Solar + Battery + EVtoGrid backup became most streamlined and efficient process. What with price comparison?
Tesla Powerwall 3 price is about %25 more than Sol-Ark 15k (inverter only, no batteries). Installation is much easier as well.
Nice install as always. Link to RSD button and phase marker?
thanks!

@SolarEngineering Stupid question but I thought Tesla Power wall 3 was not stackable?
correct, we cannot install PW3 in front of PW3. PW2 was stackable and we can install few of them in front of each other (search for images: "powerwall 2 stackable").
Because all of the connection in PW3 under the front cover, we cannot cover it with another PW3.
@@SolarEngineering I was using the wrong terminology, I was saying stackable but I guess the correct term is scalable. Thank you for replying
As always awesome videos. can we use one RSD for 4 tesla powerwall batteries? Would love to check your video of 4 powerwall installation.
by RSD you mean emergency stop button?
If yes, then I only found a button that can fit max 3 contacts.
How do you guys comply with 705.12 in this setup, did you use PCS feature?
yes, powerwall + backup switch PCS certified
@@SolarEngineering So, PG&E approved it without proper PCS labels? Or you just indicated it like a note on the planset? Thanks!
@@user-ri1bb1cg1m there label attached to main panel, just didn't get on the video and planset has info about PCS as well.
It looks like you guys work in the Bay Area? Can I ask for a quote :)
feel free to contact: info@mysolareng.com
Were these installers Tesla employees?
@@LordStevie no, it's cerified installers from Solar Engineering.
damn i was gonna watch the whole thing but then i saw a lb where you should have lr'd and i couldnt
I'm not buying any powerwalls until they get vehicle to home working so I can use my Teslas battery to supplement the powerwall during blackouts.
Yeah that would be really good.
Yes, V2H is the way to go! Install a small P/Wall to hold the home till the car can be plugged into the P/Wall.
How much does this setup cost?
$45k+
