1 van. 1 panel. 1 roof. This is the part of the job nobody sees: a stocked van, a panel opened up, a rooftop unit on a clean white roof.

18 dry days end Thursday. Here's where the first rain finds its way in.
1. Pipe flashing: the collar around every vent pipe
2. Chimney flashing: where shingles meet brick
3. Gutters: packed ones push water back under the roof edge
All 3 photographed on one Silver Spring roof last week.
Book a roof check before Thursday: MD (301) 209-7000 | VA (703) 242-5000

What % is yours set to?

2 Powerwall modes now decide when your Tesla charges.
Update 26.34 links a Gen 3 Wall Connector to Powerwall:

Which mode is yours set to?

1 screen on your Model 3 or Model Y tells you if it can help back up your home.
Touchscreen > Software > Additional Vehicle Information. If "Powershare Support" says Enabled, it's capable (firmware 2026.32.6 or later).
For home backup you also need Powerwall 3 plus a Wall Connector 3 or Universal Wall Connector. #Powershare# #Powerwall#

2 settings to check on your Powerwall before winter weather:
1. Storm Watch: when a severe weather alert is issued for your area, Powerwall charges up ahead of time, so you have backup if the grid goes down.
2. Backup reserve: set how much charge to always hold for an outage.
Both are in the Tesla app. Questions about your system? MD (301) 209-7000 | VA (703) 242-5000
