[RE-wrenches] Tesla Powerwall 2.0 - Experience?

[Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar]

There are people who are doing it on youtube but I have not looked at it
seriously because it has NMC cells. It is a very nice capacity at 13.5 kwh,
and good for the money. 

I did help a client get a model 2 to work
offgrid. After we were done it worked great with a Schneider system and
still does 2 years later. There is no warranty after what we did. I hope
some of the folks on here will give a more recent response of a "stock"
powerwall with an offgrid installation. A genset and DC solar in the mix.

Greetings, Wrenches, 

I have an off-grid client who has been
reading the buzz about the Tesla Powerwall 2.0. I have been reading the
data sheets and manual for it and it appears to be AC coupled only. There
was talk of a DC input version, but apparently that fell by the wayside. I
try to be agnostic about technology, and I'd be willing to subcontract a
Tesla-approved installer if, in fact, this was the best solution. 

Does
anybody have experience using the Powerwall 2.0 in an off grid PV system?
Is it AC coupled only? Can it take generator power without barfing? What is
the lead time on these?

Many Thanks, 

Hilton
