When installed with PV, Powerwall is designed to charge from solar energy. If your solar system is not yet operational, Powerwall will not be able to charge. If your solar system is operational and you are in Self-powered Mode, Powerwall will charge with any excess solar that your home doesn't immediately use. Smaller solar systems sometimes do not produce more than your home is currently using. You can increase the backup reserve or switch to Backup-only, which will prioritize charging Powerwall with any solar production.

Power flow on the monitoring Tesla mobile app shows the instantaneous flow of power of your home energy system. On a typical day a combination of solar, grid, and Powerwall may be powering your home. Solar energy may flow to the grid when your home does not need it and Powerwall is full. When charging your Powerwall to its backup reserve level or in Backup-only mode, solar power will flow directly from solar to Powerwall while grid energy is drawn for the home.

You have a Tesla Powerwall 3 and you receive the message in the Tesla app saying, "Calibration in Progress". This appears an App Alert Banner saying, "Powerwall (charging, discharging, idle) to improve performance".

This is normal and within Tesla's technical specification for the Powerwall 3. As the battery chemistry has changed from Powerwall 2 to Powerwall 3 (LFP) - Tesla will initially require this to be done in the early stages of the rollout with the expectation for the need to calibrate to reduce over time.

Tesla advise the Powerwall 3 must periodically undergo routine calibration for optimal battery performance. Some things to note during this calibration include:

• Calibration may take up to 24 hours
• Powerwall may discharge past your backup reserve
• Powerwall may not charge from solar
• Powerwall is still ready to back up your home during grid outages

Below is an example how the message is displayed in the app.

Can I swap out my old showerhead for the Methven Kiri Satinjet Low Flow Showerhead?

In most instances yes absolutely. The Methven 5.0L/min 5 Star Kiri Satinjet Low Flow showerhead comes with a half-inch 1/2" BSP connection which is very common amongst showerheads making swap-outs very easy.

A test to confirm if you can swap out a standard rose or not from an existing shower arm is if you can twist it off yourself.

If you can't twist the head/'rose' that probably indicates the existing shower rose is integrated into the arm.

In this instance you need the Rose plus arm (either modern arm, capstan or dual pivot arm).

See below an example of an old very inefficient 15-25 L/min integrated showerhead that would need a new Rose plus arm (unscrew the entire arm off the wall). The Methven 5.0L/min 5 Star Kiri Satinjet Low Flow uses between 3-5x less water than those shower heads in the picture below, a huge water and energy saving opportunity.

You can choose any of our Methven 5.0L/min 5 star Kiri Satinjet Low Flow showerhead options from our website.
