Power outage here in Northern CA - 3 hours remaing [View all]

The 3 Tesla batteries ran hotter than usual yesterday due to the extreme heat - 111 degrees

The solar panels' output dropped about 20% due to heat.

So the batteries were not fully charged when we switched to self power between 4 and 9pm yesterday.

Running AC at 74 degrees.

So this morning we are at 29% battery power and was using .5 kW till I turned on the PC and it jumped to 4.5 kW briefly.

I guess that was the router getting started / connected (was in standby mode).

Now back to .5 kW again.

We have 3 batteries with around 40kWs storage

Generator as backup backup

Waiting for the sun to start storing energy.

Thankfully no fires locally.

So far.

Now back up to 9 hours outage remaining.
