Powerwall 3 is Displaying 0A for a Connected String
One string has a DC input of 0V despite having a string of panels connected
Warning
Turn the Powerwall 3 Enable switch OFF to de-energize
the system before terminating any conductors inside Powerwall 3. Confirm lack of voltage at the AC
and PV terminals before proceeding.
Symptoms
On the landing page, solar production is lower than expected. On the Powerwall 3 Device page, a connected DC string is grayed out and the solar production for that string is 0A.
Steps to Troubleshoot
- Confirm the string is connected to Powerwall 3.
- Confirm MCIs have been connected
in the string if required.NoteIf the system detects MCIs connected in one string but not all, the system will fail self-tests and the string(s) without MCIs will display 0V until MCIs are detected in all strings.
- See Determine True String VOC to identify possible stringing issues.
- If the issue is not resolved by troubleshooting the strings, the system may have a faulty MCI. Perform the troubleshooting steps in MCI Diode Test and Resistance Test (MCI Health Tests) to identify the faulty MCI(s).
- If the issue persists, contact Tesla Support.
