Prepare the System for Commissioning
| Installation Scenario | Actions | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Powerwall Installation Complete? | Solar Installed? | Does Utility / AHJ allow the system to run pre-PTO?* | Enable (On / Off) Switch | Powerwall 3 Breaker | Commissioning |
| Yes | Yes | No | Leave the Enable switch OFF | Leave the Powerwall 3 breaker CLOSED (ON) | See Commission the System After Powerwall and Solar Installation |
| Yes | Yes | Yes | Leave the Enable switch ON | Leave the Powerwall 3 breaker CLOSED (ON) | See Commission the System After Powerwall and Solar Installation |
| Yes | No | N/A (system not ready to be turned on) | Leave the Enable switch ON | Leave the Powerwall 3 breaker CLOSED (ON) | See Commission the System Ahead of Solar Installation |
| Yes, but commissioning could not be completed (could not resolve errors with troubleshooting) | N/A (applicable whether solar is installed or not) | N/A (system not ready to be turned on) | Leave the Enable switch OFF | Leave the Powerwall 3 breaker CLOSED (ON) | Commissioning cannot be completed at this time (schedule a second site visit to complete) |
| No (no AC service, install crew unable to complete, etc.) | No | N/A (system not yet installed) | Leave the Enable switch OFF | Leave the Powerwall 3 breaker CLOSED (ON) | Commissioning cannot be completed at this time (schedule a second site visit to complete) |
*In some cases, the Utility or AHJ may not allow the system to be turned on at the time of install. Instead, once PTO is received the customer can be notified to turn their system on.
