Hilton, Wrenches As I recall Tesla does not recommend their battery for off grid applications, they need to be connected to the internet and without that there may be warranty issues. I don't think that the off grid world and daily cycling would work well over time either. How would you jump start the power wall if it died do to low voltage cut out, a genny might work if it connects and stays connected this might also affect the warranty. Jerry NABCEP PV inspector
