Has anyone adding a second system while on EV-A? I currently have a 3.2kW system with two Powerwalls. My EV-A plan is good thru 4/2024. I’m trying adding a second 5.2kW system before NEM 3.0 starts. Since EV-A is no longer available, will I get to stay on EV-A, or will I be forced to switch...

I have a code for a mobile charger/wall charger for sale. You can use it to get a mobile charger for free (no sales tax charged), or a wall charger for $120 + sales tax. Asking $200.

I currently have a Tesla 3.25kW system with two Powerwalls. I’m trying to add an additional 4.25kW system because of expected usage increase (another electric car and switching from gas to electric heat). I’m in the Bay Area (San Mateo County). The initial layout came back and it’s sub-optimal...

If you have solar, another thing to consider is that some CCAs (e.g. San Mateo's Peninsula Clean Energy) pay you retail rates at true-up if you have surplus (actual 1 cent more than the retail rate), so you'll get more money back than sticking with PG&E...

My installation (2 Powerwalls) took only about 5 hours with about 4 hours without power. I had a generator to power my fridge and internet the whole time. You'll definitely want/need to be home during the installation. If you're installing the Powerwalls in the garage, make sure the area is...

I just called the Tesla Billing Department (1-888-765-2489). if I use Paypal I can only use one credit card, but if I call in, I can split the charges across 2-3 cards.

Thanks for everyone's responses. I was hoping they'll split the invoice into two so I can get two new credit cards and max out the signup bonus points (e.g. Chase Ink Business Preferred is offering 80k points). Any idea if it's possible to split the charges into two cards?

I'm scheduled to have two Powerwalls installed next week. I already have Solar so this is just adding the Powerwalls. If you recently did this, do you mind telling me how invoicing was handled? My sales rep told me that I'll be invoiced via Paypal for 100% of the amount after installation. From...

Which number did you call?

Another data point for the Bay Area. Permit issued on 12/9 to add two Powerwalls. The next available installation date is Feb 13, 2020.

The charger has been sold.

The charger is still available. $475 + shipping, or local Bay Area pickup. It's about 30lb so it'll probably cost about $75-$80 to ship.

I have a brand new black HPWC with 24' cable available for sale. It's not the Elon Signature model. Asking $475 + Shipping. If you're in the Bay Area we can arrange for pickup.

According to the IRS notice (https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/n-18-59.pdf) it needs to be "Physical Work of a Significant Nature". They even listed examples of work that qualifies. Preliminary preparation work such as planning, permit, etc. don't count. However the "Work" can be done by you or...

Perhaps. As of the 10/17 SGIP spreadsheet, there're 1036 projects on the wait-list across all the utilities providers, total incentive is about $3 million. If SB700 funds $166mil per year, shouldn't they be funded unless the new money comes with a different set of requirements?

Looking at the wording of the SGIP 2019 handbook, section 2.3.6 2.3.6 Wait List and Program Closure Once funds have been fully allocated in the final incentive step of a Program Administrator’s given budget, applications will be placed on a wait list to be funded as incentive funds become...

Yes these are quotes from Tesla directly. The quotes I got was as follows: One Powerwall: - Powerwall: $6,500 - Gateway: $1,100 - Installation: $3,000 - Permit: $500 - Tax: $703 - Down payment: -$99 - Due: $11,704 Two Powerwalls: - Powerwall: $13,000 - Gateway: $1,100 -...

I pulled the trigger on two Powerwalls. $18k before the ITC. Two is a bit overkill for now, but with the ITC credit, the second one is only $4,600. I had previously gotten a quote for a Powerwall in June, so they already have a design on file, which lets me jump ahead of the install queue. I...

That's interesting to know. We're in San Mateo County but I'll confirm with Tesla on this.

We live on the coast with an average high temperature in the 60s, so we don't have AC. Our furnace does go on an hour or so even in the summer though :)

Tesla said yes. Also per my accountant (she referred to https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/n-18-59.pdf) , the construction only needs start in 2019, or 5% paid (that's less than $1000) to qualify.

Sorry, all the numbers should be kWh. Yes we have two EVs. The second one is actually a plugin Hybrid, so we can still use gas. We have an extra 120v EVSE we can use in case of emergency too.

I finally decided to get a Powerwall after the recent power outage. We had a generator for the fridge and freezer so everything turned out ok, but with a newborn and a 3-year old, the stress of losing power was too great. Tesla gave me a quote for 2 Powerwalls at $18,305 and one at $11,704...

Can you tell me the name of the installer? Thanks

I got a verbal (over the phone) quote from Sunnova a few days ago. $13k for one Powerwall. They said they're at SGIP Step 4 and that's about $2,500. They'll do a site survey after I sign a contract, so prices may still be higher if you need extra stuff like a panel upgrade. Tesla give me a...

It's been sold.

I have an order code for the Founder Series Model S for Kids for sale. $375 or best offer. I can take Paypal or Venmo and will send you the code once payment is confirmed.

I emailed the SGIP rep and he said there are no plans to raise the developer cap at this point. However, he said that PG&E is more than halfway through their Step 2 budget in only 4 months, so he thinks Step 3 for PG&E will open next Spring.

Reading about NEMA now... interesting. This may change my design... Net Energy Metering Aggregation (NEMA)

BTW, the PV portion of my TE quote is about $10k. After ITC it's $2.95/kW. Quotes from other vendors are similar.

I live on the Coastside (Half Moon Bay area) so there's no need for AC and my house's monthly electricity usage is only about 300-350kWh, so a 2.6kW system is more than sufficient. I also have a separate meter on EV-B rate for my two EVs. After the PV system is installed the house meter will be...

Been lurking here for the past few weeks since I'm in similar situation. I'm at the "design" phase with TE for a 2.6kW system and one Powerwall. After signing the contract based on the assurance that I'll be able to get the SGIP rebate, my sales rep just told me today that is no guarantee that...

Does anyone know if 5.8.4 will give you a history of when it had to reduce the charging current? It'd be beneficial to know that reduction happened so I can get the wiring checked if necessary.
