I discovered today that for 2019 there is still a 30% tax credit that covers installation of Power Wall or other similar energy storage products as long as it's attached to a solar panel installation that I own, and I do own a 30 panel Kyocera system with a Fronius inverter.
What's the current lead time on installation if I order? Is a deposit required?
I would need at least two power walls and possibly three as I want this to function as partial backup during a grid outage on a 3500 square foot home. The power walls would need to supply backup power to my 50 amp sub-panel that drives most of my 120V interior circuits as well as back up of a couple of other 120V circuits on my main panel. No 240V backup is really required as I don't need the system to charge my car during an outage.
One question I don't have a clear answer on is if installation would allow for my grid-tie PV to continue operating during a long term power outage as this would be a key thing for making a decision. Currently like all grid-tied PV systems it shuts off immediately during a power fluctuation or loss of power.
