Tesla Powerwall Service Guide

Keep Your Battery Backup Running Smoothly

At Newport Solar, we want your Tesla Powerwall to work reliably for years. Many issues, especially connectivity and gateway-related, can be resolved at home without a service call. Follow this guide to troubleshoot your Powerwall system efficiently and avoid unnecessary visits.

Step 1: Check for Common Connectivity Changes

Before proceeding, ensure none of the following have occurred:

• You moved or unplugged the Powerwall gateway

• Your Wi‑Fi router was replaced, relocated, or its password changed

• You switched Internet Service Providers or your internet is down

  
  

If any of these apply, please contact Tesla Energy Support first for free remote assistance in reconnecting your system.

Step 2: Reconnect via the Tesla App

Easily reconnect your Powerwall using the Tesla app:

1. Open or install the Tesla app and log in with your credentials.

2. Tap the Energy tab—your Powerwall status is visible.

3. If a “not connected” alert appears, select Configure Wi‑Fi and re-enter your network details.

Step 3: Power Cycle the Powerwall & Gateway

If reconnection fails, a full reset may be needed:

1. Switch the Powerwall to Off using the side toggle.

2. Turn off the AC breaker labeled Powerwall.

3. Turn off the AC breaker for the Powerwall Gateway.

4. Wait at least 1 minute.

5. Turn back on the Gateway breaker.

6. Turn on the Powerwall breaker.

7. Switch the Powerwall back On.

   
   

This safe sequence reboots both the battery and communications system.
