    2 years 5 months still no roof

    It is 2 years and 9 months for us. We ordered on Feb 2020 and got the same response from them. We have also incurred many expenses during this waiting period and canceling this project is not an option for us.

    Solar Roof, big price increase

    They inspected our attic when they did the site survey. I believe when Tesla initially started installing the Solar roof, they included all the pre construction work unless site survey reveals any additional work needed for the job. This is why all of our pre construction work is zeroed out in...

    Solar Roof, big price increase

    Here are some snippets from our original contract. It says Standard Gutter installation is included along with other minor repairs. All the pre construction prices are zeroed out here. After the site survey, nothing major was found. Does this mean the scope of work includes...

    Solar Roof, big price increase

    I have already pointed this to them. The project advisor that I am working with is not helpful and pushing me to sign the new contract. If they are going to cancel my contract without my approval, I may have to take this matter to the court.

    Solar Roof, big price increase

    Exactly. Not sure how to count on their warranty. Now they are threatening us they will cancel the contract if I don’t sign the new contract. It is coming all the way from their top management and they are not going to help us as well.

    Solar Roof, big price increase

    Hope everyone is doing fine. So, we were also told that our original contract would be honored. We have been waiting almost two years because of the fire code issues with the fire authorities. Unlike others, Our original contract price includes 10.3 kw system with two power walls and 3...

    Solar Roof, big price increase

    When we were looking for this couple of years ago, someone mentioned that we could use Form 3468 which is for business but the section is not clear on this for the landlords. You can check with tax professionals before committing though.

    Solar Roof, big price increase

    I believe City of Irvine requires the approval from the Fire Authority in order to get the city permit. As for as I know Tesla has been working with them ever since I have signed the contract in early 2020 and they have been modifying the design for them to get the approval. Ours is the first...

    Solar Roof, big price increase

    What part of the Orange County you are from? For Some reasons, Tesla was not able to get the approval from Orange County Fire Authorities . We have signed the contract not long ago. It was only in early Feb 2020. We are indeed unlucky ones with all the other things that are happening now.

    Solar Roof, big price increase

    Apparently every county has different set of fire code requirements and Tesla is still working to get the approval from our fire department. So they did not even have the chance to apply for the city permit. So the price hike is definitely not related to individual roof complexity. We have...

    Solar Roof, big price increase

    Same thing happened to us. We have been waiting for more than 14 months and we have very much disappointed about their latest move. I don’t think we are going to move forward with this project.

    Current Solar Roof Wait?

    It seems like they need to get the approval from Orange County Fire Authority even before applying for the city permit. But they still dont have the approval and are following up with them. I am not sure why when others can do it.

    Current Solar Roof Wait?

    As others mentioned, it really depends on where do you live. Because the solar roof is the brand new product, it requires various approvals from local counties and each one has different requirements and fire codes. I live in Orange County, CA and we have signed the agreement beginning of this...

    Solar Glass V3 + 2 PW ordered May 2, 2020

    I talked to them finally and my assumption is correct. They have to get the approval from local fire authority even before submitting the permit. Every county's fire codes are different and it is taking longer for us.

    Solar Glass V3 + 2 PW ordered May 2, 2020

    Just the $100 initial deposit. They were able to schedule the onsite inspection quickly as soon as we have signed the agreement and it went fine. We assumed that they were working with our City for the permit when they mentioned that it would take couple of months to get the permit because our...

    Solar Glass V3 + 2 PW ordered May 2, 2020

    I am actually trying to reach out to my new solar roof advisor via email. I thought everyone has their own advisor who is the main point of contact. Couple of months ago they have mentioned that they are working with the city for the permit. But I called the City officials last week and they...

    Solar Glass V3 + 2 PW ordered May 2, 2020

    I live in Orange County, CA. I have placed an order for Solar roof with two powerwalls on February 03. They were hoping to get it installed in August and I took it easy on them. I have been following with them for the last few weeks and they are sounding very pessimistic. I have learned that the...

    Solarglass Roof - V3 - any customers?

    After we have submitted our electricity bill about there weeks ago, they came back to us last week for the pictures of our electric panel and the meter. After they received these, they said the same thing to us as well. We are thinking to add solar skylights and tubes and asked about it. They...
