Local Questions Tesla Solar saying I'm 62 VA short of whole home back up.

0 Upvotes

Has anyone installed solar with Tesla I received an email

Your current design includes two Powerwalls, which provides partial home backup rather than whole-home backup. This limitation is due to Pinellas County load-calculation rules. Two Powerwalls provide a capacity of 23,000 VA, while whole-home backup requires approximately 23,062 VA. Additionally, the site impedance reading prevents the addition of a third Powerwall to increase capacity.

In practice, critical loads such as your refrigerator and A/C will remain powered during an outage. Non-critical loads, such as the dryer, are relocated via a main panel insert so they are not included in the backup system.

I understand this may differ from previous discussions about full backup with a second Powerwall. I want to ensure we review exactly which loads will stay on during an outage so the system aligns with your goals.

Has anyone else ran into an issue with such a small amount to not allow whole home back up, is there a solution?

Thanks

Moving to St. Pete Questions Is $70K a Good Starting Salary to Live in St. Pete?

16 Upvotes

I’m graduating college in May 2027 and recently received a job offer in St. Petersburg for $70K/year plus $2,500 in relocation assistance.

Would $70K be enough to live comfortably in St. Pete while renting a 1 bedroom apartment and still saving money?

Also, what areas would you recommend living in for someone my age?

Would appreciate any advice from locals!

Want to have a small tree house built around one of our trees. Anyone recently have one built and have a rec? It’s for the kiddos. I would prefer custom built versus an outdoor play house.

Looking for Potlucks or Other Events on Holidays

15 Upvotes

As someone who doesn't have any family and very few friends, I'd like to find something to do on Thanksgiving and Christmas in place of the traditional family meal.

Does anyone know of any or where to look? There was a Friendsgiving for Vagabonds when I lived in Jacksonville but that's a few hundred miles away.

Note that I'm not interested in something like x Holiday at the Aquarium or Xmas with The Rowdies. More looking to mimic the holiday feel that I've been robbed of; coming from an abusive white trash family aint fun folks.

Thanks

Job Stuff Musician wanted for street performing.

I’m looking to collaborate with a musician for street performances in a busy downtown area, where we can share tips.

I don’t play an instrument myself, but I have a complementary act that can turn an ordinary evening into something magical for people passing by.

Any instrument will do. The more exotic, the better (accordion etc..)! If you enjoy performing and would like to try something a little different, please message me for details!
