Solar at Night? Fixing Tesla Powerwall Energy Metering

This video details how I fixed my Tesla Backup Gateway Powerwall installation. My installer, Tesla Energy, refused to support the energy metering system when I contacted them about erroneous solar production reporting I detected, blaming it on my Sunpower solar install. I discovered what the real problem was and fixed it myself. The problem wasn't Sunpower; and no, it wasn't that my CTs were flipped; that would have been too easy...

This video should provide you the tools you need in order to understand how the energy metering system works in Tesla Backup Gateways and either fix it using the Tesla One app or to determine what the physical problem likely is to have it repaired by a qualified electrician or your installer.
