    First full sunny day!@

    Had to put them on the front side of the house. Not what I wanted to do initially looks wise, but don't mind it now.

    Using a Credit Card or Paypal to pay for Tesla Solar

    I'm in the same boat as you. Got installed end of November, PTO mid December, no invoice yet. I did call in towards end of December to get the invoice but was told it has to be generated and they will make a note of it. Same as you, I'm not going to reach out again and will just wait. Just...

    I got my system installed 2 weeks ago, inspection done 1 week ago, and just got PTO few days ago...no invoice or anything regarding payment yet.

    Installation: Coming Soon We'll reach out to you when your installation is ready for scheduling.

    Finally got my install is ready for scheduling message after I called ComEd to ask about status. They said it was approved 2 days ago and I texted my advisor and got the scheduling message right after..smh. Next date is all the way out on 11/27 though for me.

    I think it's because we have net metering here. The utility company has to approve a solar install and also only allows you to have a system 110% of your last 12mos usage.

    Also in IL and got the installation coming soon update. My advisor says we're just waiting on utility conditional approval. Permits came back already. Hoping ComEd doesn't delay this.

    Ready to place order for panels

    I ordered the 8kW system and the first layout they provided they had already determined my max allowed by ComEd and sized me down to 6kW. Also with me being home since March and not charging my car much, energy usage dropped a bit year over year. I tried making a case for a bigger system but...

    Front of house installs

    Tried searching but couldn't find much. Does anyone have any links to completed front of house Tesla solar panel installs? I was thinking to call up an advisor and see if they have completed project pics they could send me but wasn't sure if they would do that. In my case: Front of the house...

    Post Your Tesla Solar Layout

    They allow up to 110% of your usage, but I think its since the smaller 5.78 kW system produces an estimated 7400 kWH. The thing with waiting is I don't want install pushed to 2021 and potentially miss fed tax credit and my states adjustable block program. I wonder if a price drop on 2021 will...

    Post Your Tesla Solar Layout

    1. So I had ordered the 8.16kW system but based on my last 12 months energy usage. my electric company (ComEd) would only allow a 5.78 kW system. A couple things on the usage: 1) Past 4 months I've been working from home and haven't left house much due to the times we're in...so haven't driven...

    For those that ordered after the price drop, how long did it take to get back a layout? Ordered just about a week ago and nothing yet.
