Tesla’s first quote was for 3.97w and a solar city string inverter. After sending in a couple quotes from competitors and some more negotiating, I ended up with a SolarEdge HD wave with optimizers for 3.32w. Also got two Powerwalls though the price of the Powerwalls never changed through the...

The Powerwall and Solar system was done by installers wearing Tesla shirts and hoodies, driving vehicles marked as “Solarcity DBA Tesla” They knocked out 90% of the install in one day and finished early on the next.

I found and called Tesla customer support and they found the problem right away. They had an extra letter in my email address. 30 seconds later every thing was working perfectly. I did read a significant portion of the Powerwall install thread, slot of good information, but not for my problem...

I am the happy recipient of a new solar and dual Powerwall installation. Unfortunately I have not been able to complete the registration process, the installer went through the registration with me at the time of install Dec 7th, and told me I would receive an email with in 24 hrs to get the app...

Powerwalls are installed! Wow, that was fast, less than a month from signing the contract the the system has been fully installed!

I signed paperwork Nov 14 for a project started almost a year ago. The system install date is Dec 7th. I am told it will be a complete install including two Powerwalls. The Tesla installation rep told me they had the Powerwalls in stock. Might be a regional thing.

I though I read in another thread where there were some people writing their own code for the Powerwall.

In all honesty, the sole reason for using Tesla is the Powerwall. I have heard of quite a few service nightmares and only a handful of people who have had a positive experience with a Tesla install. My delema, does Powerwall justify all the other downsides?

Wow, this surprises me. Tesla designed the Powerwall with out a local monitoring portal? This is one of the cons for me and one of the things that made the LG “dumb” batteries attractive. The LG system is monitored through the SolarEdge inverter software. So no random updates interrupting the...

Thank you NYprepper! You mentioned you were screwed if the internet went down, how so? Does the system require an internet connection function!? This is a side of the PowerWall I do not have a handle on.

Pros for Tesla: Best storage solution on the market at present. Package deal. Cons: Questionable PW availability Some concerns about customer service after the sale. Pros for using the local guy: Fast install with higher quality panels at less cost. Battery system is available immediately...

Good to hear! Thanks! Is this for a whole solar system, or just the Powerwalls?

I have been on the fence for almost a year over having Tesla do a 7.6kW system with Q-cell panels + 2 PW2’s or using a local company for Solar. The local installer will do the same 7.6kW size install with LG panels, SolarEdge inverter and optimizers for significantly less than Tesla. This same...
