Hi all,
I'm trying to add a Tesla Powerwall to my existing solar setup. The site assessment was last week and although I put down a deposit for one unit, they're saying I can only move forward with two.
The reason given is:
"The powerwall can handle a maximum of 30A of backfeed. Currently, your solar is putting more than 30A of backfeed into the main panel (it's 50A)."
Two units is pricey and more than I'm looking to spend. Is this absolutely necessary? I'm not an EE and would appreciate some background or an alternate solution I can suggest to Solar City.
