Tesla Inverter: New System Setup Guide

What you'll do

Turning on a Tesla inverter system takes two steps: the solar breaker and the outdoor disconnect. The inverter handles the rest automatically.

Step 1: Turn on your solar breaker

Open your main electrical panel and find the solar breaker. Look for a label such as:

• PV
• Photovoltaic
• Solar

This breaker is often marked with a red placard. Flip it to ON.

Step 2: Turn on the outdoor disconnect

Find the disconnect box outside, usually near your main panel. Inside, you'll see a lever. Flip it from OFF to ON.

Step 3: Your system turns on automatically

You don't need to do anything to the Tesla inverter itself. It doesn't have an on/off switch. Once the breaker and disconnect are on, your system should begin producing power.

Step 4: How do I monitor my system in the Tesla app?

Download the Tesla app and log in. Your system is already linked to the email address Icon Power has on file.

• Check your email or text messages for a Tesla registration link.
• If you don't see it, create a Tesla account using that same email address.

Once you're logged in, you can:

• See real-time energy production
• Track your home's energy use
• Monitor battery performance, if you have a battery

What to expect next

• Your system may take a little time to appear in the Tesla app.
• Production varies with sunlight and time of day.
