Not happy about paying $40K more than originally advertised but eh, YOLO.

For what its worth, I just spoke to a REP at the Rancho Cucamonga location and was told end of the year at the earliest...

Free Unlimited supercharging included/transferable?

I'm away from my tablet which is the device I took the photo on... I'll try and post when I get to it. But basically it is a legal size paper with a pre-printed grid of one inch by one inch squares. The installation team places a sticker in each grid as they install a panel. Unfortunately they...

Here are the rates for the TOU plan I am on.

Brett, Thanks for the reply. Yes I am on NEM 2.0 with SCE- TOUD-4-9PM Unless, I looked at the chart wrong... the most expensive time to use power is between 4-9p which solar production has already begun to taper off. Everything else is .33cents/ kWh So in a perfect world, like you mentioned...

So, FINALLY had a full weeks production after they came out and fixed my panels... I've requested solaredge monitoring, but this will have to do for now. Viewing my screenshots, would one say this is on par with absolutely no shading and mostly ideal sun coverage on a south facing roof? Also...

Here is my one full-day production for the section that was "fixed" - kinda difficult to figure out how many panels are producing, since I have 3 arrays? Total of:1 1.6kWh Anyone wanna take a shot?

So whatever re-wiring the two electricians did, I was able to produce 2.8kwh from about 1pm to Sundown

Dave, I wasn't home, but briefly heard the conversation the tech had with my wife via our doorbell camera. Apparently they "tried" to rewire as much as possible but when they realized it was all wrong, they stopped and claimed they needed the original installation crew to come out. As I...

Well, bad news on top of more bad news... The two technicians came out and stated there was some wiring issues with the j box and some of the panels. Apparently these two techs were able to rewire it somewhat to at least produce something in the interim... Ughh estimated time frame is 1 or 2...

Not home at the moment to test what Dave recommends, but called Tesla anyways. They'll be out tomorrow to check things out

Meh, not the update I wanted to give... Still no production, Tesla tech support had me power cycle with no luck. Need to call back Just out of curiosity, would adding my own ethernet wire cause the app to not update, and show no production? Aa mentioned I can see consumption in the Tesla app...

Haven't been following your issue, but as you can see these new inverters have the "P 1 (or I) O" positions so kinda confusing... *IF* my installers left it on 1 (or I) then I must have hit, and shifted it, when I was routing my CAt6 cable from the ethernet port into the garage.

Doh I'm an idiot - guess it's deserved!

@BrettS Good observation, I found this link on solaredge website explaining the position my switch was in. Looks like the inverter was off based off of the switch orientation.... Inverter Status and System Performance Indications | SolarEdge US Now that the dang sun is down, I'll have to...

Dave, correct... That is the same LED I am referring to. @BrettS - according to the manual that is the actual inverter power switch. I imagine if the switch was in the incorrect position I would not get any LEDs at all? I will try cycling that as well. Unfortunately, sun is going down now so...

Just power cycled the inverter, disconnect, and main breaker.... Still blinking. Hmmm

Thanks, this is what I'm afraid of period today the first time there is smoke but it's very light and lots of sun, yet Tesla app (and inverter) are not showing it is producing... I'm going to Shut off everything (going backwards- starting with inverter, disconnect, and then main breaker) Any...

Brett, Thanks for the reply. I am 'pretty' certain - My main PV breaker was already left in the "ON" positon, my service disconnect was switched on, and then the inverter switched to the ON position. I am getting a blinking green light, but have not received a solid green.

Update! Tesla claimed they submitted PTO back on 08/27-ish but when I emailed my SA a week later regarding a broken tile I discovered (after they had replaced all the obvious ones), I immediately got an email from SCE saying my application was submitted (09/07) ... less than 24hrs later I had...

Seriously considering the QC for my 2800sq ft SoCal home... From what I've read I am in the ideal area where it gets hot during the day 90-100F(at times) but 60-75F at night. In addition, I am considering purchasing a smaller version for one of my rooms that is notoriously hotter than others...

Thanks! Waiting on SCE to give the green light on PTO... Question for those who have been up and running? Should I install gateway now, or wait til PTO? Also, specifically for SCE folks... Need some help with deciding on which TOU plan to go with. We currently DO NOT have an EV but a...

Inspection passed! waiting on roofers to finish tile job, SCE for PTO, and Tesla to remedy my damaged patio...

Good and bad news, inspection went well with one exception. Apparently my crew installed shielded ground and code calls for bare copper.... Inspectors getting with my city engineer/planning director to see if the ground will need to be changed out? Any input from those with knowledge? The good...

Quick update, as this seems to be turning into my build/documentation thread. City/Tesla inspection is set for tomorrow When I spoke to the inspection coordinator (or whatever his title is) he said he was aware the tiles on my roof still needed to be replaced and said it was common for them to...

So, I plan on sending my patio installer a text message on Monday to see what they say. My fear is they will have to replace, at minimum one, if not both, headers. I haven't posted a picture of the front of the patio, but it is damaged there as well. The impact caused the front of the header to...

Yes, tile break when walking on them a certain way... As for the 6 panels on the front, they can only bee seen from the end of my cul-de-sac. Otherwise, when driving up you cannot see.

Sorry, they were too big to upload initially. Should work now. (water bottle for scale)

Hopefully this photo helps you? So, as to WHY they did not add the two panels to the back array is beyond me. I'm a NOOB. I will tell you though the last column that only has two panels, a third could NOT be added due to the exhaust pipe/vent. I guess they could have added it to the first...

Because threads are worthless without pictures! Enjoy..! They are sending a different person tomorrow to replace all the broken tiles (35-ish) Last photo is of my patio that was damaged - thoughts on what I should do? As mentioned before, it is only 2 months old! As Promised: - Aerial Video

Thank you to the both of you, I will make sure it's addressed again on Friday. The lead assured me he had already reported the damage back to HQ

And don't forget the humidity! It's rough by California standards... Here's a quick unedited drone video... excuse my aviation skills, or lack thereof, I am a relatively new mavic 2 pilot I'll add a couple of photos later... I imagine the broken tiles will be replaced once install is...

...and you cursed me! Haha Just got a knock at the door... The leadalead profusely but tried to power through and just couldn't after my roof was hitting 139.5F !!!! All mounting hardware was installed, so he's estimating about 4 hrs more needed during a second visit. As I was speaking with...

Not the best, but it's a start!

Wow, thanks everyone. Lead showed up promptly at 7 am as expected... Asked to take a picture of the optimizer layout page, he was totally cool with it! Had the Yeti ready with Gatorade and water. Showed me where the conduit was going to run - this was was easy, my house has really only one...

Thanks for the advice! I definitely have my camera and drone charged up... Hopefully they don't think I'm too weird

Wow. So much for my first post. I'm posting on mobile didn't realize all of my fat finger spelling and grammatical. My apologies! Can't seem to figure out where the edit button is at?

Hello all!l lurker, first time poster. I've got my insulation scheduled for tomorrow in Southern California, Inland Empire area, for an 8.16kwh system.... I've taken some advice from some of the other posts. I will have a nice chest filled with Gatorade, water, and sodas for the installers...
