Contract says balance "due within five (5) days of inspection." Also says (in all caps) "IT IS AGAINST THE LAW FOR A CONTRACTOR TO COLLECT PAYMENT FOR WORK NOT YET COMPLETED." I am concerned they won't be motivated to finish my project if they have been paid in full. That's fairly typical human...

Good to hear your your request for PTO was quick. I'm just a bit concerned about getting the work done because every person I talk to doesn't know anything about it. I think part of the problem is my original project advisor (who was very good) went on maternity leave about a month ago. The...

I've only paid the $100 deposit and now Tesla wants the full balance due. Did your project advisor okay paying all but $2K?

Has the 26% rate been officially extended?

Thanks for your thoughts. It would be nice to get the tax credit in 2020, but not at the expense of a long hassle to get them to finish the job.

I'm not sure if I trust them. These unresolved issues seemed to be a surprise. Buy paying in 2020 is probably simpler. The quality auditor said I should have a copy of the plans. I asked both him and the project advisor to send them to me, but so far I haven't gotten those either.

The installation went fairly well about 2 weeks ago. However, the siding near the Powerwall was cracked and I was told the "siding specialist/guy" would contact me to schedule the repair. Haven't heard anything yet. A few days after the install, a quality audit was done and I was told that the...

I'm glad to hear you had no issues with your Tesla solar install. Same reports from 4 neighbors, including one who recently got a new inverter under warranty. If we can save $10k-$15k, I don't mind being the project manager.

The small local company just said the "SGIP rebate has been filled in the last two weeks." So we are going with Tesla. Site survey is tomorrow so then we should hopefully know more.

Thanks for the info. With the price cut (and additional discount when also purchasing solar panels), it seems that sales have increased significantly. The project advisor told me that we might not even get the PW until March 2021.

Thanks! I do like the idea of supporting a local business, but with a $10k difference, it's a more difficult decision. I do feel that customer service might be better from the local company (and from all the negative Yelp reviews for our local/Martinez Tesla installation office). But we have 3...

I did look at SGIP, but I thought the SGIP rebate was administered by the power company (PG&E) not the installer. Did I miss something?

We're in the process of making a decision on a new solar system (panels plus one Powerwall). We've narrowed it down to Tesla and a small local company. The Tesla price is about 25% lower than the other quote. We're concerned that the Tesla price may be too good to be true--for example, we've...
