Can you charge a Tesla COMPLETELY off Grid with Solar and Powerwalls?

This is super helpful info! Trying to make our home solar plans now

I have a very similar setup in the UK... Works great 👍

Great subject Jeremy!

Great test! It is cool to be able to use an EV as extra backup during peak solar production! When our powerwalls get full, I try to plug in a car, or do a load of laundry. I'd rather use it than sell it to the grid for 3 cents a kWh honestly. It's that time of year in Arizona, when we are starting to get more clouds for monsoon season, with temps still above 110⁰. We don't remain off grid 100% like we did in the winter, thru May. I am able to stay off grid when peak pricing hits, 20-25 cents a kWh, between 2-8 pm. But our powerwall usually depletes just in time for our super-off-peak pricing to kick in, at 11 pm, at 6 cents a kWh. Then the sun is back up around 5-5:30 am, restarting the cycle. I did plan for that to happen, just for June-August. I would need 30% more panels and 1-2 more powerwalls to get thru the extreme days grid-use-free. Just not possible. Keep up these vids! I don't have the skills or talent to make these videos, so I live thru yours! Haha

YT recommended u to me. Thaanks

Thanks for this video. In this setup. Did you connect the wall connector to the mainline or to the gateway in order to charge from solar?

Thanks for the video. How often do you use the powerwall to charge your tesla and what percentage of the powerwall is dedicated to the car?

One day one day I really really want a tesla one day 😂

Great episode, Jeremy.

I'm asking my other Power Wall Youtubers if they noticed a charging strategy change this week. I'm out of town, and so my PWs are able to charge up to 100%. For a few days now, I noticed the charge rate decreased at/around 80%. Even though the PWs aren't full, some power goes to the grid. Have you noticed this?

can you charge your tesla without a gear selector? mine has fallen off about 15 times now and i'm tired of having to put it back in and having to bike everywhere while my big toy car charges

We have to same Tesla solar system 😎 My Model 3 is due in August so this video was super useful

Florida Gator??? I knew I liked your videos for a reason..... Go Gators....... From an old Gator in California

Can you make an off grid system using nothing but panels a charge controller and the batteries in your ev?

Great video! Go Gators!!!

So to sum up how much power did you need for your Tesla plus your home?

Thanks for sharing. Would this work with a non Tesla EV?

This is dope how much of your roof is covered by solar? Room for more?

So if 2 powerwalls is 27kwh of storage, and I’m averaging about 50kwh a day to charge my model 3, would that be enough storage? I’m pretty sure I’m doing that math wrong and I know kW and KwH have different meanings across the board. But if I have 2 full powerwalls when the sun goes down and I get home from work to plug in my Tesla. I can only charge up to 27kwh (less depending on backup reserve) and the rest from the grid ? I was told 2 powerwalls should be plenty for charging my EV but the math doesn’t add up. If someone could help explain I’d appreciate it!

Normal people work in the day during peak solar hours.
