RE: Big Storm⛈️💨 Grid outage 🪫🔋

....i checked the Powerwall battery level only to see it was at 5%🪫.

That's poor!

As at this 2am that the battery was fully charged..., were you using a public utility to charge it...?

Also, if the power was 100% full at 2am and by 4am it discharges at that rate....it could be that your loads were much heavier or perhaps, the battery is getting weak. Do you experience this often even on days with much sun?

I am doing a research/program on Tesla product

Maybe i didn't explain it properly LOL

yep just the normal power grid to charge it

Powerwall was FULL by 2am and would have sat idle until the grid went down at 4am, then the 100% battery took over and ran the house for the next 15 hours.

If we had a bad day for solar generation then the powerwall level will suffer, we had a bad day yesterday for generation

Much clearer now. That means, nothing is wrong with the battery like I mentioned earlier.

Yeah, I get it. Low sunny days aren't sweet days for solar owners..., it's a general pandamic 😀

But even with that, there is no better steady electricity like solar in your home!
