This is awesome. This knowledgeable guy and his obviously talented team is exactly the type of people I'd like to install something similar.. Trouble is I'm down the other end of the country! Please say you cover down south too!! 😄 If not, this is the benchmark to base others on.

Just had the PW2 installed, battery only. Works fantastically well and now we’re running the home on overnight cheap rate. In this country severe storms and power cuts are rare so my approach was to not use storm watch and set power reserve at zero to maximise night charge. I would recommend this set up in the UK. Hope to add solar in the future.

Would you be able to share the costs for the battery and installation? I'm currently on my fact-finding journey before deciding whether to pull the trigger on a battery-only setup.

Excellent video, as per usual. How do you join that Tesla Powerwall Connect Cable in the Powerwall isolator? We frequently install Tesla Powerwalls in the South East and routinely use 6mm T&E, 1.5mm T&E, and shielded Cat5 (usually contained in plastic conduit, though sometimes Kopex). We typically loop the 1.5mm and Cat5 in and out of the isolator to avoid joining. I have no idea which is the "better" solution, and so am genuinely curious if you've devised some cunning method.

We strip enough of the Tesla connect cable back at the isolator so the comms cables can just run straight through the isolator intro he copex. Then we wire the 6mm through the isolator. It is then only the 6mm that is broken basically. I would have a look at it as Tesla aren’t a fan of CAT5 for the comms 👍

@@OvalRenewables Thanks for the response. Essentially, the same process, albeit with an integrated cable. Per m., the Tesla Connect cable seems pricey, but perhaps it's worth the premium. Last week, we had a job where the distance between the Gateway and the Powerwall was nearly 35m - in theory it seems like a hard sell (in the ~35m scenario, you'd be looking at >£2k), but maybe it's worth speccing to see the results. Either way, I'm going to get a sample.

Do you guys have any experience of GivEnergy? That new all in one battery system is looking might tempting at 6k+ vat. Same 13.5kwh, with 6kw inverter and I believe it comes with an equivalent of the gateway, so takes you off grid in the even of a powercut but considerably cheaper than the powerwall. Another benefit is that it's LFP chemistry so 100% depth of discharge. Not sure what the powerwall currently is, whether it's still lithium ion or if they've switched to LFP also.

Did you find an update regarding the use of the gateway to house circuit breakers and fuse carriers, sure on this project considering it's outside isn't a problem but what happens when it's inside do you have to have a selerate enclosure? That's a mint looking install though well done.

Daft question. If the Powerwall has it's own inverter then why do we need a Solar Edge inverter too ?

The inverter in the Tesla just handles the battery charge and discharge. It doesn’t allow for a solar input

Probably a stupid question and I assume my idea would require planning permission but.... with the north facing solar panels, would it be possible to mount them horizontally so they would be more efficient at capturing there sunlight? So instead of them following the angle of the roof they would be almost like a flat roof?

Hey, just wanted to ask, I have currently a PW2 13.5 KW installed. It gets us through the peak hours but not enough to completely free us from the grid. It was very expensive and still is. But I came across a good deal with BYD system. My question is, can you add a BYD System to my PW2 and convert my existing system into Hybrid inverter? Will there be an issue with that setup.

Great vid as usual! What happens when the user inadvertantly exceeds the demand capability of the powerwall whilst in whole house backup mode? Easily done if you've got the kettle on and somebody uses the electric shower! Normally an EPS goes to a seperate CU with low power essentials like lights, freezer etc....

Yes there are a few ways to set it up. The main thing would be to take caution when you have a whole home UPS. If the current is exceeded then the gateway would disconnect the load.

Really like the install but that gateway internally looks like it's been rushed together with dissimilar parts/brands. Possibly just the camera angle but it does make it look as if the fuse and bus bar aren't sitting home properly.

Just had my Powerwall 2 fitted. Had to wait 8 months for the PW but had been quoted 11 months initially. Nice install and very impressed with how it hoovers up all the excess solar. Not drawn anything off the grid since it was switched on 6 days ago!
