Congratulations. You have made one very happy customer. The system you designed for me is functioning as I had hoped. Feb 1 2023 was the real proof that your design would do what I asked for. 27 Degree cold winter night at 2:29 am Duke Energy lost power to my home. Instantly the Tesla Powerwall supplied all the power to my home and sent a text message they had taken over. 3:39 am power was restore and Tesla Powerwall notified me that Duke was suppling the power. The powerwall was set to retain 70% before the power loss. When the power was returned that I noticed the battery level was at 65%. A drop of 5% in 1 hour. Figuring 70% / 5% = 14 hrs of battery left at should take me to sunshine to recharge. The most interesting part was that at 3:39 when power was restored the powerwall was recharged using Duke Energy to a level of 70%. I am a happy camper. Thank you for efforts. Sid
