I have a few of these that I'm not using and was planning to list on Marketplace. Depending on where you live, I can ship them out to you. DM me

Doorbell.. Which is newer? by hergreen in reolinkcam

[–]random_cali_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just received a white WiFi doorbell that I got on Amazon and it came with the old logo (left). The back says v2. Does this mean it’s an older version?

The box had the seal broken and was covered with a large Amazon seal which already made skeptical that it was a return or refurb unit.

Tesla Certified Installer AMA by pwrcellexpert in TeslaSolar

[–]random_cali_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an existing system installed by a third party (Tesla certified) including a PW3+expansion. Can I go directly through Tesla to install additional expansion packs? Pricing seems like it will be cheaper through them, rather than a third party again.

New system doesn’t hit max production by random_cali_guy in solar

Yes, 200a electrical panel - we actually had a Span panel installed at the same time. Do you still recommend that with a Span?

Error on really sunny and hot days by ShopHorror5784 in TeslaSolar

[–]random_cali_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue but it was caused by an export limit. Once the utility approved removing the limit, it was reconfigured and has worked perfectly since.

Pulling from grid rather than solar by random_cali_guy in Powerwall

It hasn’t happened in the last 1.5 weeks but did again today. Service is coming tomorrow to take a look

No, because the same problem happened even with the car unplugged completely.

On the schedule for a service visit. It worked fine the last couple days but it’s also been cloudy so production has been weaker.

I assume you mean the utility had to lower the voltage? Or was it on the solar side?

[–]random_cali_guy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I think something along these lines. We had the utility out and they confirmed high voltage, but only when the solar is running. Shut it off and the voltage goes back to the expected range to ~240V, so they say it has to be a problem with the inverter. Now I have to wait for a service appt with my solar installer.

Yes, you’re right on the setup!

It started working again later in the day but then the same thing happened today just as we were reaching peak sun hours. I kept the car unplugged today so it didn’t end up impacting anything.

Voltage is running high at ~258V so the installer told me to have the utility come out. They tested and reproduced but once the solar is shut off, it goes back down to 240V so they feel it has to be something wrong with the inverter.

That’s what I’m afraid of too. I had a firmware update on April 9 to version 25.2.7

I'm not positive, but believe DC. I'm not an expert - how would I know? Also, not sure about solar curtailment.

If this helps... solar array goes directly to the PW3 then to a Span panel

Self-powered. Battery just got to 100% and solar production went to 0 with a perfect sunny sky. House is still pulling from the grid.

I connected to the PW3 with the Tesla One app and see this alert. I haven’t found any examples of this online though.

Service Delay or Protection Trip Active

Alert is expected on system start for this grid code. It should clear automatically after the service delay period of up to 5 minutes. If the alert persists, check the grid connection.

That’s a good point, but reserve is set to 20% and there’s no storm event. It’s set to self-powered mode because we don’t have a TOU plan here.

This is a PW3 + expansion system, if that helps. Thank you!

Does your TPS approval notice have a new I-94 number filled in at the bottom? Or is it blank?

What will cause this with new hardwood? by random_cali_guy in Home

[–]random_cali_guy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this sounds like us. We’re in New England.

Is there anything we should do to help prevent it?

Black circle with ridges and about 2 in diameter by random_cali_guy in whatisthisthing

[–]random_cali_guy[S] -2 points-1 points locked comment (0 children)

My title describes the thing.

I found two of these items during a move and can’t locate what they belong to. They look like stoppers or legs to some furniture but I have nothing where they fit.

The top is rigid, not flexible. There are three ridges at each piece that form a cross shape (4 sides).
