pypowerwall VS solar-report

If you know how to use Python, you can run the following script to record the vitals and see what is going on. You have to install pypowerwall at: https://github.com/jasonacox/pypowerwall

You can get pretty detailed current data through the gateway's web API. Here's a python module I use on mine: https://github.com/jasonacox/pypowerwall

Finally, if you are tech hacker/maker, you will love the rich APIs that you get with the Powerwalls. There are so many fun projects like pyPowerwall to gather data or control your Powerwalls. I spend way to much time on this. :) Check out Powerwall-Dashboard for example.

It sounds like the firmware update failed trying to upgrade the Powerwall itself (the TEPOD or TETHC device). I would run pypowerwall against your GW to see what additional data/alerts/errors you could find (using python) - something like:

That's awesome! I had to run the wizard to remove the Neurio and recall it had the settings still in there. Some of the site info forms did have me question things a bit so I suggest you screen capture the portal data, especially grid_code, just in case. If you have pypowerwall running, you can grab some of this as well:

What do you see when you log in to the Powerwall Gateway portal (local network or Gateway WiFi)? Or alternatively, use pypowerwall and run pw.poll("/api/troubleshooting/problems") and pw.alerts()

The Power Flow diagram is made possible by the pypowerwall proxy container and using a text/html Grafana panel and iFrame to render the animation. It is basically rendering the same thing you would see if you log in to the Powerwall Gateway.

I wish the Tesla app had more troubleshooting info. You might want to check out Powerwall-Dashboard or use pypowerwall and a Python script to get more info and the alerts that the PW+ is raising (requires pip install pypowerwall and you can use python -m pypowerwall scan to find your IP address):

Does https://github.com/jasonacox/pypowerwall make any sense to you? If so, you can use this library to get logs and additional data from your gateway that might help explain things.

I got a couple of quotes for an installation in late 2019, balked, and to try to install and permit the panels myself. I'd never tried a "physical side project" or home-improvement project, but I found it surprisingly straight-forward.

I got a copy of my friend's permit application from a professional installation, learned a bit about the equipment and tools needed, started a spreadsheet of parts, and modified my "permit template" with details about my installation and house. My permit application was stamped on my first try (Manhattan Beach in LA County), so I placed my order.

It was a little tricky to get all my supplies on the roof of my two-story house. I settled on carrying things up the stairs, putting them on a balcony, and pulling them up a ramp I built out of some cheap wood. See pics here [1].

I probably went overboard on quality of parts to compensate for inexperience and not knowing which corners it's OK to cut, but my final cost ended up at $1.64/watt, including about $1000 for my electrician to pull some copper, ground everything, and connect to my panel.
