Yes the battery is charged by solar, however it can also be fed by the grind if you wanted to for some random reason. The DC power runs to the inverter from your panels than once converted to AC power it charges the battery. You can monitor the power draw of your house and the amount of solar energy collected through an App on your phone or computer. Companies like Tesla have solar and batterie packages for sale on their website, but I know the solar company SunRun also sells and installs Teslas Power Walls with their own solar arrays.

Yea for so it doesn't make sence but for others it extremely useful. Such as using your solar durring an outage, choosing to toggle between when you charge your battery and when you use the grid durring off-peak hours. Its the closest thing to "off-grid" that you can get. They keep saying that the F150 can but have yet to prove they have the tech to do so, I am extremely hopeful for this though.

And thats why whole home battery backups are worth their weight in gold. Store and then use, even when the grid goes down. I wish there was more education around about the importance of powerwalls and the like combined with solar.

Between the signs that don't match the construction, a lack of cops directing traffic in highly populated areas, and signs that don't state lane closures. I feel although its just creating unnecessary chaos across the state. by StankyDudeHoleDandy

Thanks for a legit answer, they should be fined by the DOT for improper practices. It makes everyone's life a living hell.
