Man I am trying so hard to make this work From Sense We've noticed that your Sense power wires are drawing from the same phase, or leg, of your electrical panel. It's possible that the power wires were either installed on a tandem breaker or, if you installed on a 240V breaker, Sense is sitting on…

BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING TO YOUR PANEL, BE SAFE AND SWITCH OFF THE MAIN SUPPLY. THAT SHOULD BE THE VERY TOP ONE IN YOUR PICTURE WITH THE BLUE STICKER. USE A TESTER ON THE TERMINALS OF THE OTHER BREAKERS TO VERIFY THEY ARE NOT ENERGIZED BEFORE DOING THE WORK. What you call a double breaker is really c…

Thank you for that clear explanation. My issue was I tried to install another tandem breaker (before I knew I needed a double pole) below the Current slot but I don’t think the buss bar extends down any further than the current slot as it would not clip in (I did not try the slot below the car char…

Well, that is a very good point. I never looked close enough to see if there would be space. Looks like there might not be! This is an awfully small panel. I am going to guess that the breaker above “car charger” goes to a sub -panel somewhere. Otherwise I cannot see how one would run a house off of…

Understood And yes it is a sub panel serving one A/C, the Tesla Charger (1st Gen) and the main panel via a generator (when the power goes out) I installed the car charger back in 2014 when Tesla came out with the P85D back then people said use a 100amp breaker to get the max amps from the charger.…

Yes, I did not think of the older Tesla models that could go higher! If this is indeed a sub-panel (i.e. not where the main supply comes in), you will want to install sense on the true main panel, not here.

That’s were I had originally installed it but I miss the second A/C and car charger which are two big power suckers. I was hoping that this would pull data from the latter and the main panel if not I guess???
