    How long between inspection and PTO? [various areas]

    Discussion: "Powerwall +"

    New to the thread: I had a solar roof w/2x powerwalls install completed on Aug 25th, but still waiting for the back-up switch install with PG&E. I verified with PG&E that the backup switch is approved on a pilot basis, BUT Tesla can only submit 10 pilot customers to PG&E for scheduling backup...
