    Post Your Tesla Solar Layout

    Thanks for the info. You are correct about the Gateway. I thought you didn't need a Gateway with Powerwall + . As far as the wire sizing it might be an issue because at this time I'm not sure how far away the gateway is going to be from the powerwalls. I'll also need to check my existing drop to...

    Post Your Tesla Solar Layout

    I just got my system layout today and the detailed drawings after much delay. It is for a 50 panel - 17 kW - (4) powerwall system. It appears that it will use (2) Powerwall + with builtin inverters and (2) additional powerwalls, no separate Backup Gateway 2. Let me know if you need to see any...

    I’ve been speaking to some local installers

    Did you get everything installed? I'm in a similar situation. I have been waiting almost a year for Tesla to install my 16.32 kW with 4 PWs system. I have been reluctant to go with another company because I thought that I could only get the powerwalls from Tesla in a reasonable time frame. I...

    Discussion: "Powerwall +"

    What Tesla phone number are you calling? Every number I have tried routes the the call based on my phone number to my Project Advisor which he never answers but the call then goes to his voice mail and I have no option to wait for someone to answer the phone. I have in the past been able to wait...

    Chilicon Inverters ?

    Alset2's signature shows he is in ocala. I am assuming that is Ocala, FL which is pretty close to me and I would definitely like some additional info on these contractors.

    Certified Powerwall Installers in the greater Orlando area

    Does anyone have a Certified Powerwall Installer in the Orlando area that they could recommend? Is it even possible to get Powerwalls in a reasonable amount of time (say 2-3 months) from a 3rd party (or Tesla for that matter)? I have had the worst luck with Tesla and I'm getting a little tired...

    Phone Number to Call to Get Order Status

    The automated system definitely uses your phone number your calling from and matches with your account. When using my cell phone (which is the one linked to my account) it automatically sent the call to my project advisor. I tried calling from my home phone and it kept asking for my phone number...

    Phone Number to Call to Get Order Status

    Thanks for the reply. I am finding that I have the same problem with the above number. All phone tree menus route the call to my project advisor who doesn't answer the phone and it goes to voice mail where I can leave a message that doesn't get returned. There must be some way to talk to a...

    Phone Number to Call to Get Order Status

    My project advisor is not responding to voice mails or emails. My order (17kw and 4 powerwalls) was placed on 8/26/2020 and it is still in the Permit phase (I think). I have not had any contact from Tesla since late November - about 2 months ago. When I used to call my advisor and she wasn't...

    Tesla Changed Inverter Sizing @ Install

    I am waiting for an install similar to the OP. The drawing for my 17kw system calls for the following: (1) Solar Edge SE7600H-US (7.6kW) inverter with 26 panels at 340W each (1) Solar Edge SE7600H-US (7.6kW) inverter with 24 panels at 340W each All panels are facing east and it should be no...

    Price for additional panels?

    I did find out from tesla today that the "standard" price for adding panels is $683/panel, so my pricing is correct. I am still waiting to get the sales tax fixed though.

    Price for additional panels?

    Thanks for the keen eye. I hadn't noticed the new quote didn't state "whole home backup". What's odd is that the list of items in the "Loads included in Backup" appear to include everything I have. I spoke with Tesla and it appears that they mistakenly charged me Florida sales tax on the the...

    Price for additional panels?

    I finally got my solar layout a little over a week ago for my X-Large - 16.32kW (48 panels) system. The order is also for (4) Powerwalls. When I reviewed the layout it looked like if I added 2 extra panels it would be more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing. The detailed design called for...

    Choice of inverter

    I have some trees that cause some shade that varies by the time of day and by time of the year. I am assuming that I would be better off with SolarEdge inverters with optimizers vs the Delta Inverters. Is that a correct assumption? BTW, I have ordered a 16.32kw with 48 panels and 4 powerwalls...

    No load center/electrical panel upgrade needed?

    Should I be able to use my existing main panel as my service disconnect? Non of the existing breakers will be used. The existing panel is about 20 years old and parts of the label are pretty much unreadable. My proposed system is the 16.32 kW with 4 Powerwalls and I plan on backing up all...

    Impressive how much effort Tesla Energy will waste on nonviable plan

    I noticed immediately that it wasn't my roof. Luckily I was able to reach my advisor right away and that's when I scheduled the site survey. I also looked a Google's Project Sunroof for my address and it said "Sorry, Project Sunroof hasn't reached that address yet". It did however show the...

    Impressive how much effort Tesla Energy will waste on nonviable plan

    Just for another data point. I had a local contractor come out to give an estimate before Tesla. The satellite image of my house was not good at all. He then pulled up another app and it had a much better view of my roof. He said that it was an app that you had to pay to use and used aerial...

    Just ordered a Tesla 16.32kw system with (4) powerwalls

    Finally got a hold of my advisor and within a few minutes the layout was posted on the Tesla site. Unfortunately it was a layout of someone else's roof. Bottom line is that they now say I need an onsite survey and the next available date is 9/30. Hopefully that date won't slip.

    Just ordered a Tesla 16.32kw system with (4) powerwalls

    I just tried and they are closed. The recording said that they open form 8:00am to 4:00pm Pacific time. I'll try tomorrow. It's funny I just read another post saying that they ordered on Saturday and already had they panel layout. Jay

    Just ordered a Tesla 16.32kw system with (4) powerwalls

    I’m right at 2 weeks Since I ordered and still don’t have a panel layout. I’ve tried contacting my project advisor by voice mail and by email to get an update on when to expect one. No response. Any tips on how to get Tesla to respond.? I’ve been very polite so far. Thanks. Jay

    New Tesla 15.12kW Solar / 4 Powerwall order in Orlando

    So does your old main panel now have no breakers installed except the 200 amp main/service disconnect? Unfortunately for me I do not have enough room to put another panel next to my existing main panel. The backed up panel, the gateway, the solar generation panel, and the 4 powewalls are all...

    New Tesla 15.12kW Solar / 4 Powerwall order in Orlando

    Regarding your new backed up loads panel where they transferred all the circuits from the original main panel to this new panel. Did Tesla consider that a service panel upgrade and charge extra or was that included as part of the standard package? I'm pretty sure my system is going to be done...

    Just ordered a Tesla 16.32kw system with (4) powerwalls

    I live in the hurricane state of Florida. I also live in a somewhat rural area with lots of large trees and overhead power lines. It's not unusual to have power outages once in awhile. I'm not sure 4 is the "correct" number of powerwalls but I kinda thought that I might as well while I'm doing...

    Just ordered a Tesla 16.32kw system with (4) powerwalls

    Is there any downside to using optimizers vs the micro-inverters? I had a local solar company give me a quote for a system similar to Tesla's but with micro-inverters. Also does Tesla use there own installers or do they contract it out? I've read your thread about your experience with a Tesla...

    Just ordered a Tesla 16.32kw system with (4) powerwalls

    Finished uploading all the required info. I'm in Central Florida and have Duke Energy. I have some shade issues with large live oak trees. Because of that I'm thinking that I may need micro-inverters or power optimizers rather than a string inverter. Has anyone had any experience with Tesla...
