    Best way to add to tesla solar system?

    I have 8.16 kW system without storage installed by Tesla. The 12.24 kW system would not have fit and would have way over produced. In fact, even the 8.16 kW overproduces, however we got two new EVs right now and started going out more, also will eventually upgrade to a heat pump. Is it...

    Does PGE baseline applies to generation credits?

    Do you get more credit per kwh if you generate more than the baseline? Or does the baseline only applies to consumption? The bill is very complicated. I also have the SJCE CCA

    Loot box disappeared

    I had six referrals showing in my loot box, all for Solar Panels, they disappeared completely! I have a screen shot, but Tesla cannot find them based on this screen shot. I've seen this discussed before, what is the best course of action?

    PGE: Do I lose granfathered NEM if I add batteries?

    E.g, is it a whole new interconnect agreement? I was thinking about adding batteries later, if prices go down but if it means losing NEM2.0, and also no ITC credit, maybe it is better to add them this year. I do not need them for backup, only for future protection in case PGE keeps changing...

    SolarEdge LED question

    How do you distinguish between the LED indicators for System Performance Information vs. AC Output Power Production Percentage? For example solid green and solid blue could mean either: system is producing and communicating OR system is producing more than 66%. and just solid green could...

    TOU-C or TOU-D for Solar without PWs?

    I expect to have slight over production, so it may not matter. How does the net metering work, is it based on dollar amount or per bucket only? For example since TOU-C has higher summer rates when production is better it could make sense to use that to offset the higher winter usage. But if...

    SJCE vs PGE

    Any comments on using SJCE vs PG&E? I am having 8.16 kW system installed right now and I may have a bit of surplus production. San Jose Clean Energy has very confusing plans, where they will true-up in a different month than PG&E. That is two true-ups a year. Since you lose at each true-up...

    Who schedules the inspection?

    Does Tesla schedule the inspection, or do I have to contact the city to schedule it? I thought it is Tesla, since they need to have a representative at the inspection, is that correct?

    Is stringing important with optimizers?

    Here is my layout, except the installer says they cannot fit all of the panels shown on the south side so they will move one to the east side. What is the best string for the east and west panels? I think without optimizer, the correct approach is to string 12 in the south together and then...

    Advise for installation day?

    Tesla called to offer install on Monday. This is in PG&E territory. I would appreciate any advise for what to expect or if there are any choices I need to make. I still wonder if the inverter should be in the garage or outdoors. I see both options in my neighborhood and I wonder if those inside...
