    Tesla Virtual Power Plant in CA

    I'm waiting for a message (in-App) or email. I pinged support they said "give it a couple of weeks"; which I suspect is their answer to all these questions since they probably don't know themselves (NorCal & PG&E)

    Can PowerCO signal to produce less?

    Apologies if this has been discussed in the past... I have a: - SolarRoof 15.4KW - 2 x PW+ - BGW 2 As we get into summer months I'm trying to troubleshoot a production issue on my system. We've had 14+ days of sunny weather (no clouds). For the first 6-7 days my system was producing 70KWH...

    Whole Home Solar Roof + PowerWall - Backup Switch or Gateway?

    Last I heard was the pilot was done with PG&E and they are not moving forward with it (NorCal) - I pushed them in the beginning to avoid the BS at all costs. I don't want to be a beta tester b/w too large corps with lots of red tape (PG&E & Tesla). Great idea, definitely saves on installation...

    Anyone know a company that clean Solar Roof panels?

    Does anyone here have experiences/recommendations on getting their Solar Roof professionally cleaned? Specifically out of the Bay Area? Thanks.

    Whole Home Solar Roof + PowerWall - Backup Switch or Gateway?

    Sorry to hear… 38.4 squared (parallel to ground). I measured it before I accepted the design after looking at PG&E green book. Still not out of the woods if there’s a need for a BGW2 then we’ll need to get creative with some conduits into the garage to access the utility panel. Sorry to hear...

    Whole Home Solar Roof + PowerWall - Backup Switch or Gateway?

    I’m trolling city permits, and PG&E and will be on it. Tesla advisor is somewhat responsive but clearly someone who has to ask others for status/details. I got a lot of the contacts from the roof/pw workers (daily group DoorDash kept them fed, happy and built trust - great crew). But to your...

    Whole Home Solar Roof + PowerWall - Backup Switch or Gateway?

    Asked and tried :) PW+‘s were mounted but nothing wired to/from inverters or to the main panel, waiting on main panel upgrade.

    Whole Home Solar Roof + PowerWall - Backup Switch or Gateway?

    I've resigned myself to the fact that it will be another 4-6 months before I get a working system. 3 months if I'm lucky. As you point out, not only is it PG&E we're talking about, it's Tesla & City Permitting Inspections... will take a lot of patience and coordination. I waited since...

    Whole Home Solar Roof + PowerWall - Backup Switch or Gateway?

    Solar Tesla Roof Install - 15.6 KWH: Nov 9th - Nov 18th (Complete) PowerWall+ x 2: Nov 19th (Not Complete) Had a relatively smooth experience with the Roof Install (will find out when we have more rain...) Fun started when the PowerWall+ team came out using designs made in June, but were...

    Tesla Solar Roof - Gutters NorCal

    My bad - I threw the phone # in there (San Jose NPA), but it's not clear. Alameda county Dublin/Livermore area.

    Tesla Solar Roof - Gutters NorCal

    All, As I kick-off my project, I'm trying to get a sense for gutter replacement cost. I have a single story home total roof area is ~2600 sq ft. I'm trying to calibrate my expectations on cost. The recommended installer (based out of San Jose) is quoting ~$4600 for gutter replacement...

    Solar Roof, big price increase

    I hear yea. For a larger project like this, there are many more variables to deal with and I prefer someone who answers my phone when I call the first time. Call me old fashion (I'm not that old), but for things like this - I much prefer a face/vendor I can rely on, even if there's a premium to...

    Solar Roof, big price increase

    I have in writing that I would get Autopilot added to my Tesla Model 3 2018 (it was delivered 2 days before they announced the price decrease and free auto-pilots). The Tesla rep. said all purchases made 4 weeks before the announcement would get AD added to their vehicles. I tried for several...

    Solar Roof, big price increase

    I've already reached out to mine, but I don't expect much to happen :| I've already contacted my SunPower rep who's been super awesome and patient with me in the last year. My spouse was leaning with metal roofing, took some convincing to get her to consider Solar Roof - this just made my...

    Solar Roof, big price increase

    Only a % of the roof that's generating electricity can be considered part of the ITC. Final # is usually provided after install (so I'm told). My original contract was $7500 each (22.5K) they're now proposing 26K (for 3), $8666. They've increased it. Ack/correction on the website, it's now...

    Solar Roof, big price increase

    I just got a similar email. $25K more. The Solar Roof Panels themselves: Original: $49,892.64 New: $71,001.44 They even increased the PW battery storage price by ~$1100 (~$8666, original was $7500) and the website is showing them as $5800 with a Solar project Needless to say, while I can...

    Thanks for the follow up, appreciate the feedback. Re: getting it done this year.. Per the IRS publication end of last year: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/n-18-59.pdf Section 3: SECTION 3. METHODS FOR ESTABLISHING BEGINNING OF CONSTRUCTION .01 In general. This notice provides two methods...

    SGIP with Large Scale Energy Storage (3 x PowerWalls) with Tesla or Individual

    That's essentially what I'm trying to find out (Large-scale and not small residential) and whether they plan to do it next year.... and if not can I apply for it myself. It's clear installers are just reaping the SGIP rewards themselves. It's a game at this point for 4% now vs. next year seeing...

    SGIP with Large Scale Energy Storage (3 x PowerWalls) with Tesla or Individual

    My roof is 21 years old. I've been on the fence for Solar oof for a while. But given the recent events in NorCal and PG&E shutoffs, I'm going to pull the trigger. I'm looking at the following configuration: - 10KW+ Solarroof v3 system - 2 PowerWall's. My daily consumption on avg is ~20...

    Model 3 Autopilot Free Upgrade for 2019 Delivery

    Let me be clear.. I was asking this forum a question if they've had similar guidance from Tesla. The reality is, since receiving this email from Customer Support and ONE follow up "escalating the issue to the team processing", I haven't been able to get anyone at Tesla to give me a clear...

    Model 3 Autopilot Free Upgrade for 2019 Delivery

    I personally have my doubts. They likely got "rid" of Tristan during recent layoffs because I haven't been able to get anyone to tell me when (or if) this is actually coming.

    Model 3 Autopilot Free Upgrade for 2019 Delivery

    I received delivery of a Model 3 (MR) February 26th, 4 days after they announced the price changes (ouch!). With the new 7 day return policy i tried to see whether or not that applied to previously delivered cars - the answer was a clear no (was worth trying). They did point out that any car...
