Separate names with a comma.
I don't think Vines likes the dad-joke.
Yes, I think the consensus is the main service panel replacement is a good idea. However, you may want to shop around to ensure the price you're...
Sorry my comment was intended for @bayareaever. I just quoted wwhitney's points, but meant "you" to be the OP.
PG&E tried to get me to do this. Personally I do not recommend this 125A derating. It would be difficult for you to add an EV or something big...
It's worth a shot to email the SGIP folks. By the strict definition of the program homeowners are supposed to be eligible to be their own...
Sunrun said they weren’t comfortable with me submitting under my own developer key so they submitted for me under Sunrun’s key. I asked them...
I'm a finance person... and the only reason I'm getting PV+ESS is to stick it to PG&E. Hatred > ROI
Only if you first get a 60 minute burst of > 15 kW :mad:
I'm still amazed at how many people are unaware of solar as a reasonable alternative to whatever their status quo is. I've got neighbors who just...
Yeah, I think we'll need to see your main panel to estimate if $5,500 is fair. I had to get a new main panel replacement. Aside from the...
Thanks @Electrph, @gpez, and @jboy210 ! It does seem plausible that just having PG&E operational (but not actually pushing energy into my home)...
I wasn’t using more loads than I had been over the last two weeks... and the dimming wasn’t initiated by a large appliance or air conditioner...
So I just had a weird experience... about an hour ago (6:45pm Pacific) we were cooking dinner and doing some chores. The Emporia Vue showed a...
I wonder if they're going to mess with H2o and put the blade disconnects in a different order than his Powerwalls. Like his PWs are going to go...
Whaaaa they removed the protective plastic film already?
Huh, so what happens if PG&E sees something in their line diagram that they want changed? By then the system is probably already permitted with...
I'm still super annoyed that Sunrun indicated it's standard/normal for PG&E to be involved in all PV+ESS designs. I thought PG&E simply had to...
You didn't have PG&E browbeating you that your 5x Powerwalls could each export 20A to the grid (100A total) plus your solar exporting at the same...
Lol, Sunrun has had all my money since the 3rd week of October 2020. Of course still no PTO. It can always get worse... a lot worse :(
Lol get that thing registered as an antique... plates better read 4DSC
Dude... how the heck have you kept a 3rd Gen Nissan Maxima running for so long? Those VG motors are dogs and the transmissions are made out of...
Adding the 3rd battery was because of many factors: 1) I looked at my actual home usage (like as a human being; not some Greenbutton pushing...
Do you think I can generate a data point worth 60 minutes in the next few weeks and re-apply my SGIP application? SGIP made it sound like a one...
PG&E's Director of ESS said to me that going around creating loads for 60 minutes that weren't normal behavior was 100% gaming the system. But...
The sizing rules were talked about for Equity Resiliency, but not for large-scale energy projects. I understand the sizing rules for the "free...
There's a document from the CPUC (R.14-07-002 and R.12-11-005) that identifies that PG&E and SDE wanted "sizing requirements" to be implemented...
Where did you see this language for an hour or more? I poured through the docs and I even did the application on their form under my own...
I don't think they're challenging the Greenbutton data - they're just telling me that based on what they see in my application I don't qualify....
no, the large scale sgip was $8,700 to go from two Powerwalls to three Powerwalls. The third powerwall was essentially subsidized. But PG&E now...
It stands for permission to operate. Without batteries the excess solar needs to go back to pg&e’s grid. But with batteries the excess just gets...
Nah... we tried that pre-cooling malarkey before on some rush-hour integration with the Nest thermostats. Everybody hated it since it got too...
FWIW, SGIP responded to my inquiry and comments made during the SGIP webinar on Monday. They say that even though I can demonstrate a burst (eg...
Yeah, but we did the dishes and laundry during the evening peak. Bottom line, nobody had to pause and think "what time is it" before doing a...
I don't actually have pictures of my solar panels since I actually cannot see the panels from the ground. They're on a vaulted second story roof...
Little dose of good news for this thread... (no, I don't have PTO yet... I just got an email that said my application had an error and is being...
Yeah this is why I'm torn about my experience with Sunrun... they actually were very communicative with me and had some really nice people on my...
Yeah I tried these instructions ... Connecting to Tesla Gateway | Tesla Support Edit: Man I'm an idiot... cannot read...
How did you all even get the Login data for the "lead installer" to log into the TEG?
So this is what pisses me off... it's 8:30pm and my mother in law is baking some cookies, doing some laundry, we wrapped up dishes, and we're...
The confusing part is that "step" has two meanings with SGIP. The funds are released in tranches or "steps:". And it's possible you should still...
I just think it's funny (in a sad way) that we usually think of 2 vs 3 Powerwalls as a means to estimate how many of those bad boys it takes to...
Look at the top of the interconnection agreement that you should have signed (like recently since they started the PTO process). If it says...
Are you both solar-only or do you have Powerwalls? That NEM2-MT issue completely derailed me... I've bee trying to get PTO for solar+ESS since...
With the delay in getting hardware and massive backlog happening, I personally think they'll blow through the remaining funds very quickly.
Yeah, I'm making inferences here, but it sounds like SGIP never intended their program to provide whole home backup. They basically want people...
Someone just opined and said that battery size actually has to be less than peak demand. So if your Greenbutton is 20kW peak in an hour ... you...
I'm a pessimist so I think this is bad. I think if you signed up right now to try and get 3x Powerwalls there's only a small chance any money...
Update: as of the SGIP webinar on Feb 26, there is only $28mm left (remaining step 3 and upcoming step 4) for SGIP large-scale in the PG&E area....
Ok so this topic was actually discussed on the SGIP workshop. Naturally this is my paraphrasing what I think I heard... I could be wrong. They...
The people hosting the SGIP call said they cannot opine on whether or not a recipient of the California SGIP money will have that amount reported...
