How does the Tesla Backup Gateway 2 work?

The new Tesla Backup Gateway 2 supports the Tesla Powerwall 2, acting as a form of communication between the Powerwall and solar panel PV systems. It controls factors such as solar power consumption, time management, and can detect power outages and provide an endless supply of power directly from the grid.
