1 Backup Switch with Tesla P/N 1624171-xx-L or greater is required for Powershare home backup installations.
2 If the system includes a UL
1741-listed solar system and there is capacity in the backup panel, ensure the solar
system is included in the backup circuit to allow Cybertruck to recharge during an
outage. A maximum of 11.5 kW AC of solar can be installed in the backup circuit. This
limit protects the Powershare system and Cybertruck from excessive PV power during a
grid outage.
Note
The solar system overcurrent protection device (OCPD) size must be
less than or equal to the Universal Wall Connector breaker size; for instance, when
Universal Wall Connector is connected to a 60 A breaker, a solar system with up to a
60 A OCPD can be included in the backup circuit.
Note
For Powershare systems with third
party backup (generators or third party batteries), see the Third Party Backup with Powershare Systems
application note for guidance.
Note
The Wall Connector Dynamic Power
Management and/or Group Power Management features are not available when installing
Universal Wall Connector for Powershare.
