yeah, can we get more pics of that panel? What is it? What is it displaying? How is it displaying that data?

Based on others experiences, what have the installers told you are the general rules/guidelines they follow when wall mounting powerwalls? Obviously they need to go into studs, but are there any other requirements? How high is the maximum height they will mounting them off the ground? What if...

I'm interested. What would this accomplish? Can you summarize how this benefits?

because they aren't right next to the house. they are on the side of the house, but not near the house. Please see pictures. Please excuse crude MS Paint drawing.

They'll be in shade. They won't get afternoon direct sunlight.

My install is coming up and the (2) powerwalls for my system will be outside on the side of the house. To maintain the asthetic that I'm looking for I want to get conduit run and a pad placed where the powerwalls are going to be prior to install so the installers don't just use whatever is on...

depends on my use plan. SRP has plans where its 1:1, I would get credit back for exactly what I pay retail for it. I mean, yeah, if during the hottest parts of summer if for some reason my solar is making more than what the house is using and the batteries of are full, then cool, I get the meter...

that's not really what im looking to do. It's more about the ability to run the house on the batteries for longer. If I'm not having to use the batteries during the peak part of the day then the solar can be covering the house at those times. Then during the evening / early morning I can be...

because I can charge the powerwalls at 2am when im paying 0.02 cents per kw hour and then use that stored energy at 2pm when the cost is 0.15 cents per kw hour or more here in Phoenix, AZ

I'm fine to be a squeaky wheel to get SRP to give me some kind of written authorization that I can present to Telsa. Can you elaborate more on the installer password? Is it the same across the board or unique to each installation? Any threads you can point to that mention what you're talking...

oh interesting. so maybe this isn't a utility rule issue but a federal tax credit issue. interesting. Ok, so who is checking if I get a federal tax credit to let me charge the powerwalls from grid or not? Is this an honor system thing?

I've read in various threads on this forum that SRP has a rule that you can't charge powerwalls from the grid if you also have a solar array. I got a call from SRP solar dept. today discussing my rate plans and asked them about this. The guy said he had never heard of this rule. He also reached...

The general sentiment is 'don't try and make the contract difference, just get a rep to put something in writing'. Sorry guys, that's not how it works. Just because a rep says something in an email does not mean Tesla is duty bound to honor it. It's all about the contract. Contracts are legal...

Has anyone red lined (negotiated) their solar purchase agreement with Tesla? There are several terms in there that are very unfavorable to the customer. I am curious if anyone has red lined the contract and sent it back to Tesla and had them accept different terms? For example. I have red lined...

I share this. I reached out to Sun Valley for a 8kw + 2 PW quote. They came in $16,000 more than Tesla. I asked Bobby if he was serious and he just said 'read reviews of Tesla installs' as the justification for charging $16k more. Anyone have any other recommendations for here in the valley?
