From what I have seen alternative roofing means comp shingles.

It looks like they are trying to scale the solar roof as much as possible but with the current stratospheric pricing along with mandatory power wall I just don't see how. Since it looks like Tesla was not going to capitulate to the original agreement I finally canceled and signed an agreement...

What unrealistic expectation? That a multi billion dollar company, one of the most valuable and cash rich in the world and owned by the third richest man in the world, wouldn't burn a bunch of loyal middle class customers by breaking a legally binding contract? The expectation that a company of...

They are claiming it isnt even a contract?? Now that's a new level of pathetic. I wish there was some way to know what percentage of previously signed contracts were resigned.

If you look up their license on the CA state license board you can already see prior violations. I imagine if they got their license suspended in the biggest solar market in the US that they might rethink their strategy.

I know some earlier enphase micros had some issues but the IQ7X's on my Mom's house have been rock solid for the last 2 years, I guess time will tell but they do have a 25 year warranty and replacement is an easy under 10-15min job. If you google solaredge it has had some issues too. Also if...

I'm going to go with a dark gray/charcoal standing seam metal roof. There will be zero mystery about long term performance of the roof system and PV system. PV mounting system will clamp to standing seam meaning zero roof penetrations. Panasonic HITT 96 cell panels with ultra low .26% annual...

Now this is truly frightening. If there is this much lack of support a few months in, what will it look like in 10 years? The fact you have so many numerous leaks post install also freaks me out. The many penetrations they make to install all the mounting hardware has made me nervous since I...

V.childress going through the contract I also thought it was comical that Tesla is using the unforseen circumstances at install location as an exit. Especially with the now public knowledge that a vast number of us had their contracts changed, some on the brink of install, post all prework...

I wonder, was Tesla training their solar city panel installers to be roofers? It would be far easier to train roofers on the nuances of installing a solar shingle than it would be to train panel installers to be roofers. Roofers have a far wider skill set given the complexity of installing a...

One would think after 5 years worth of prototypes and installs they would have a good handle on the problems and edge cases. My background is in project management and I could single handily have done a far better job in managing the roll out while carefully tracking productivity and costs...

Okay that does sound reasonable now power wise. We heat our pools down here with cheap natural gas. Unfortunately it does take an absurd amount of energy to heat water and doing it with electricity is rather expensive, even with a heat pump. I still cannot explain why your system is 4x the...

153k for 17.3kw solar system? That is insane. I put 5.2kw of solar on my Mom's house for 13k before any incentives. That includes 16 Panasonic 330 watt HIT panels (the best in the industry), 16 IQ7X micro inverters, Enphase IQ Envoy Combiner management box installed and all racking and...

Did anyone bother to listen to the earning call? Elon dodged the question about the 1000 roofs per week figure that was quoted back in early 2020. Said despite the price increase demand still is strong and outpaces supply. Elon said they found they made "significant mistakes in assessing" in...

So I joined just to give my 2 cents. I also had a roof on order since November. Supposedly all permits pulled etc. Then Saturday the revised price dropped with a whooping 44% price increase. I called my advisor who was very apologetic. I asked what percent of his clients were pushing...
