User question: 50% Powerwall 2 reserve during a grid outage
Unconfirmed: A Reddit user with a Powerwall 2 and solar panels asks how a reserve set at 50% behaves. They describe a scenario in which the battery is drawn down to that level overnight and then a grid outage occurs. They ask whether the system will automatically go below 50% while the grid is down or whether the reserve must be lowered through the app. They also ask whether the app works when the grid and possibly the Internet are also down. The post is a user question, with no official Tesla response in the text.
- User question about a 50% reserve on a Powerwall 2 with solar.
- Open question: whether the battery goes below reserve automatically during a grid outage.
🔎 Why it matters: No official confirmation: the post asks whether the 50% reserve on a Powerwall 2 holds during a grid outage and whether the app still works if the Internet also goes down. Neither answer is confirmed in the text.
📈 Upside: Not applicable.
📉 Risk: If the 50% reserve does limit discharge during an outage, the battery would provide no backup below that level; the text does not confirm this.
