I too am in a flood zone and my first floor is 10.5 feet above sea level. I have an unfinished basement that has my boiler and HW heater sitting on blocks on the floor. My main breaker panel is also in the basement as high on the wall as close to the ceiling as it can be. I intend to move this...

I can corroborate. I just had a site survey done by Tesla at my house on Long Island for a solar roof and PW install. He said that they DO NOT like to use existing conduit or pipe they themselves did not install....Additionally they do not recommend having just "a regular electrician" work on...

Whatever you do don't get it!!! Leviton might go out of business someday. I will and I'll post pics and videos when its up and running.

its more comparable to a regular panel. empty with no brakers its less than $300 on amazon. thats for the 42 circuit one. if you add all wifi brakers you're looking at around $2500 Leviton has been in business for decades. A family owned business on Long Island.

I like the idea of this and plan on moving my main beaker panel from the basement (I'm in a flood zone in NY). I have no intention of replacing my "dumb" panel with another "dumb" panel. I never wanted a critical loads panel and want to run what i want from whatever source I want. The span panel...

OK so what you're saying is it sounds like charging batteries from the grid is a function of the funding of the solar project...if you take the tax incentives you cant but if you pay outright the full amount you can?....and that they will honor that an enable that on your system?

Thanks all for the explanation. I think I understand how this works now. the PWs shut off of the PV if there's no grid to go to (grid outage) and the batteries are full and the generator does not charge the batteries. This is by design through the tesla gateway. I'm learning the terminology and...

yes...I should have said so I can have this system installed. I am not DIY solar+batteries+ generator. My screen name is just a coincidence. I did not know that was an inverter name..it's actually a nick name my dad used to call me. My question is how the system performs in a grid outage. I...

So what you are saying is that the newer installs load shed/generation shed (generation = load) and can power the house off of PV and then use the batteries at night? I'd like to see how this works so that I can install this system.How does tesla accomplish this?

Hi, I'm looking to do a similar setup and to have a tesla roof and 2 powerwalls installed...I intend to use a standby natural gas generator as a grid replacement during a prolonged outage during the winter... The idea is I can run the house during the day and charge the PW on the SBG then turn...

I got the same email last week. I'm also a block from salt water and wonder how well the finish will protect all that steel from rusting... I've got quotes from roofing companies for a standing seam metal roof and they are not for steel....they are for aluminum for corrosion purposes..
