How did you go about getting the SE data? Do you just go to their site or download their app, then punch in your inverter details?

Closing the loop here. Still noticed a weird discrepancy on how my home usage would go up whenever solar production increased. Called Tesla support. They made some changes on their backend, and now everything looks good as far as system monitoring goes :)

Right but I have usage data from Thursday to Monday prior to setting my system live. Why would my consumption all of a sudden double from an average of 0.8kwh to 1.5 kwh when no one is even at my house. I spoke with Tesla just now. Apparently they still needed to close out my new customer...

Thing is I'm not home though. So aside from my fridge, router, modem, thermostat, nothing else is running which is why I find it strange that my consumption is always 200-300 watts higher than what I'm producing. Like the utility company installed the net meter last Thursday. It was then when...

Hey all, I just received permission to turn my system on this morning. I'm noticing some weird behavior. For context, I'm running with Tesla 325W Panels (26 total) and a SolarEdge 7600H Inverter. When I'm at work and no one is home, my consumption is around 0.7 kwh to 1 kwh. Sometimes as low...

325W panels were the highest they offered at the time when I had my system installed late last year. SRECS are a clean energy credit that you get for every 1000 kwh of solar energy you generate (not use). You can then sell these credits on a marketplace for whatever the going market value is...

I was able to get a quote for $3.00 per watt from this company called Kopp Electric. This was using Trina panels and Solar Edge inverters. I pretty much told them what my target price was and to send me a quote with the equipment details, price, etc. for review. I then sent it to my Tesla rep...

I'm in New Jersey who went solar with Tesla back in November. Their original price was $4.04 per watt. They then came down to $3.52 per watt after price matching. I then got one more quote at $3.00 per watt with another company but was using cheaper panels. Tesla wouldn't go down that low but...

I'm still waiting for my utility company to come by and swap out my meter with a net one. As for the panels. The guy I worked with laid out the different panel options so I was able to choose the 325 watt ones with no issue. As far as inverters go. Just make it clear you'll only move forward...

If you ask your solar rep for the final equipment details, this will list out the model numbers for the panels, inverter, and mounting system. Mine was able to send me it without any issues since I had brought up my concern that the contract didn't have in writing the equipment details. I feel...

One more update: turns out the SolarEdge inverter is on the box truck en route to my house with the panels. The electricians who got here first had the old plan with the delta inverters. Crisis averted once again!

Update: Installers came. I asked what inverter they have... It's a delta......called my energy advisor and even he had a wtf moment. He's trying to figure this out now and I've currently refused them to do any work until this is sorted lol... Not now. Maybe in a few years but not in any rush...

My Energy Advisor got back to me and said he was able to get the SolarEdge inverters back in and we're still set for an installation tomorrow. Hopefully no surprises when they come knocking at my door in the morning. I'll report back tomorrow on if this story has a happy ending or not haha.

So my energy advisor informed me they're now installing Delta inverters lmao. I'm threatening to cancel the installation unless they give me SolarEdge like they sold me on. My installation date is tomorrow morning so this will be a fun 24 hours.

All of my panels are going to be facing south west. Same direction and orientation. Zero shade too

I'm getting my Tesla system installed next Weds. 26 325W panels. 8.450 kw sized system with estimated yearly production at 10,756 kWh according to Tesla estimates. My rep sent me the full list of equipment being installed and I also see SolarEdge 7600H as the inverter. Going to reach out to my...

Yes the 325W panels. Here's what I did. I went to another solar company and had them give me a quote using Trina panels which came in at $3.00 per watt. I was hoping they'd go that low but they met me in the middle and went from $3.52 to $3.27. Their original price without price matching was...

I don't have photo proof but on my commute into NYC from NJ (I ride the bus) I sometimes see interesting things. 3 weeks ago I saw this getting transported into the city for the new Joker movie coming out https://i.imgur.com/bjMZSIzr.jpg Last week I saw a Midnight Silver Model 3 with the red...

Just got 39.7 on my AWD Model 3. VIN 545XX

Could you share a picture of what it looks like installed?

I prefer the look of the MAXpider mats heh.

I'm in NJ (assuming you are too?) and signed my contract with Tesla Solar (no power wall) Went with their 325W panels since I care more about efficiency vs asthetics. Also pushed for them to get me SolarEdge inverters despite not having shade issues. Have it in writing too which is nice. My...

I'm in NJ where solar is a more expensive. $3.11 per watt on average according to EnergySage. Tried to get Tesla to price match a system using Trina panels that were priced at $3 per watt but lowest they'd go was $3.27 per watt. Ended up going with Tesla anyway. Getting 26 325W panels...

Does the per panel monitoring come by default in the app or do you need to do something extra for this level of insight?

Good to know. I know my sales person said they use SolarEdge and Delta inverters. I specifically said I wanted SolarEdge ones and I have it in email from him that he'd ensure that's the case. I'll try and get it in formal writing too just to be safe.

Roof is straight forward. Nothing crazy with it. NJ seems to be on the pricey end for solar. All quotes I got initially were in the $3.50 range and this was a mix of quotes from both big and small companies. For what it's worth: 2018 Cost of Solar Panels in New Jersey | EnergySage shows $3.52...

Just wanted to provide an update. I had provided Tesla a quote from a local installer coming in at $3 per watt using Trina panels. Tesla didn't fully price match but did come down to $3.27 per watt while keeping their 325W panels and SolarEdge inverters. I decided to move forward with them vs...

How about actual panels being used? For example if I get a quote using some cheap Chinese panels but everything else matches, will they still price match?

Sorry to hijack this thread with some questions of my own. But I'm also planning on washing my Red Model 3 this weekend. I have Nanolex ceramic coating + Xpel PPF installed. Complete newbie when it comes to washing my car. I have an AR Blue Clean AR390SS 2000 psi pressure washer. Is the general...

Ah true. Perhaps I should have said July 2018 production then.

In a couple weeks I'll be pulling the trigger and getting solar for my new house in NJ. Going to do the 10 year $0 down loan option. So far I've narrowed it down to Tesla and Sunpower who are both coming in at $3.52 per watt for their latest panels. I'm going to try and get another quote for...

Nothing lol. Was just dropping the post in here in case people were still trying to figure out what vins they made the change (assuming they made one?) to the glass effect.

My AWD Model 3 (545XX) has the 2/3 window red effect.

Definitely inspect it yourself. Painters tape is fine as long as you don't keep the car out in the sun and allow the tape to bake onto the paint. Don't trust Tesla Service to find all the imperfections either. Also be sure to fully inspect the car after it's serviced since there's a chance...

3% according to the GPS trip planner but with conservative driving reached my destination with 6%

AWD (Non P) with Aeros. At close to 500 miles and am at 221 wh/mi. This is with the ac always on at 72 when driving. I've mainly driven on roads that range from 35 to 55 mph. Will be doing a 160 mile round trip drive next weekend on the highway so I'll see how it does there.

Finally got my car back. No more paint issues. Now onto my next issue lmao. Back license plate screws are stripped so I can't even mount my rear plate. But that's for another thread :)

Definitely FUD. I have a 2007 Eclipse with 145K+ miles on it and I pay $1200 per year for insurance. My AWD Model 3? $1351 per year. And that's with a minor traffic violation on my record from last year.

I was a day 1 reservation holder and did not receive a diecast model 3. It was on a first come first serve basis per service center. Because I picked mine up at a later date due to waiting for the AWD model to come out, by the time I picked my car up they were all out. Oh well.

You may have better luck since it's all dependant on the 3rd party shop they use. In my case, the Cherry Hill location used a Volvo dealership.... But yea be sure to inspect closely the car.

Went to go pick it up today. Found a newly created paint issue on the driver side a pillar. Then a paint chip on my front bumper. That's twice they've not done the job right. Turning into a joke now.

I'd bring it to the service center to see if it's something that can be buffed out or if it needs to be sanded down and painted.

My service center thinks they'll have them sometime in October lol. We shall see!

Had no issues when I got quotes from Travelers, Amerprise, and Liberty Mutual when I provided them with my AWD Model 3 VIN.

Update from my end. Just to recap my situation. Brought it into service last Monday. Went to pick it up Friday. Found some new paint issues + unaddressed items on my front bumper and hood. They gave me a 2014 Model S 85 loaner in the meantime. Followed up with the service center today. They...

This is what I did. 60% down. Financed the remaining 40%. Will try and get the loan paid off quicker than 72 months.

Drama aside. I'm personally going with Lee (Hi Lee. See you on the 27th!) since he's actually authorized to do Xpel wraps and you'll be able to take advantage of the 10 year Xpel warranty: XPEL Protective Films Warranty - ULTIMATE and STEALTH

Good news and bad news. Good news: Service center was able to get my car back today. They Lyfted me over. Body shop did an awesome job and I honestly didn't see any difference between their paint job vs factory. Although time will tell and I'll also need to look at it under the sun Fun fact. I...

This is getting annoying. Brought it into service Monday morning. They assured me they'd have it back from the shop on Thursday. Friday the latest. They're now saying Monday via an email update. I've never dealt with this sort of thing before and have no clue what a proper response should even be.

My AWD Model 3 (545XX) has the same issue with driver side tail light condensation. It's at the service center getting replaced today.
