My panel is also full. My install came with a Backup Switch (installed on its own base adjacent to the utility meter) instead of a Gateway. Like above, they installed a separate generation panel with breakers for the Powerwalls. What’s sounds different is that they tapped the output of the...

Hopefully their system isn’t setup like mine: 1. Single panel for the whole house 2. Tesla Backup Switch instead of Gateway 3. Tesla uses vampire taps to combine their power with utility power at the top of panel before main breaker. The Backup Switch has a manual way to disconnect from...

I paid with card last December. Thanks for confirming that they haven’t closed this loophole yet.

Tesla Solar won't let you pay for a cash system with credit cards, but Tesla Finance in Draper, UT will (or did as of Dec '22). Once I had my final invoice, I called them directly and they took they CC payment. There are a few threads on this forum about that, but they're confusing to me...

Chesapeake, VA Dominion Power Install: 12/1/22 Inspection: 12/6/22 (passed) Paid: 12/12/22 (paid with CC, est. 3-4 days for it to settle) PTO: 12/31/22

His name isn’t Marquis is it? My recent install in VA was done by a traveling crew from NJ and the team lead mentioned he flies around. They did an excellent job, much cleaner with all of the exterior electrical wiring vs how one of the newer VA crews did a neighbors house.

That thread was last updated today. If you signed up to pay your system in cash, you can use a credit card instead. See thread for more info.

Different from the OPs ask but more in line with yours, my pre-install estimate to use conduit in the attic to connect six arrays, plus bring it all down into the garage on the inside (attic is right above garage) came back at $12K. I declined, but was curious about the pricing. My Project...

How did this work out for you? After waiting four weeks, I had to bug my PA daily to get movement, but they finally a Tesla electrician out to scope the work.

Same. They had to change my last payment to $20,000.01 to get around that, then refund the .01. [shrug]

After the site visit, my Project Advisor called to present the final design. He asked about hiding roof conduit by running it thru the attic, and hide wall conduit by bringing it down from the attic in-wall. Didn’t mention any options for avoiding conduit between equipment. I’ve seen a...
