    Solaredge Account via App Support

    PSA : I asked for Tesla to enable my SolarEdge account just by using the support option in the App. After a couple of weeks, today, I received the login information. Now, have to figure out how to make this public. I see @reddy has made his public. But I do not see a admin option in the...

    Tesla Solar Panel now $2.85/W instead of $3.49/W

    Now, the rate is $1.49 per watt.. Wow, just wow. (Please keep this thread alive. Will be nice to see how much the costs are falling)

    63Kw from 14.3 Kw Solar in TX today

    West Houston, TX. Today was my first day of production. Until yesterday, there was a problem with one of the two inverters and the whole thing did not produce. I thought the inverters were supposed to be redundant or at least independant. In any case, today, we had clouds on and off and a cold...

    Just turned on my Solar panel installation...

    Today was my first day of production. There was a problem with one of the invertors and the whole thing did not produce. I thought they were independant and built for redundancy. The tech had to apply some 'updates' and the bad inverter came online. In any case, my 14.3 Kw install produced...

    Just turned on my Solar panel installation...

    Has been 2 weeks now. Still no production. :-(. Turns out that one of the inverters is not working. Blinking green lights instead of steady green lights. The Gateway router also does not seem to work either. Tesla sent me an replacement but that is still showing 'no signal'. I thought, with one...

    Tesla solar panels plus Solar Edge Inverters= frustration

    In a way, I am glad that I am not the only one so super frustrated with Tesla. First the gateway would not connect. The skinny pagelet which comes with the gateway router just says, plug it in. Nothing about LED lights or anything. So, I take it that that needs to work for my solar system to...

    Just turned on my Solar panel installation...

    I did get an email from Tesla which started with "You are one step away from enjoying all the benefits of your Solar Panels. We have received permission from your utility company to turn on your system. You can do it in a few simple steps." with a link to a video.

    Just turned on my Solar panel installation...

    XL installation in West Houston, TX. Received PTO (Permission To Operate) mail from Centerpoint and so, turned on the breakers, switched the disconnect panel to ON and turned on both the inverters. I hooked up my gateway to the router, switched on, can see white light on the router. What next...

    If you are wondering about the cost to move a vent from one location to another, it cost me 350$ to move 3 vents. This is in West Houston, Texas.

    Post Your Tesla Solar Layout

    My install date is this Thursday (09/24) and last week, I had a roofer move a couple of vents away from the south facing portion of the install. I asked Tesla to move a few panels either from my south-east or west facing panels to the south roof yesterday. I had previously asked for a redesign...

    Using a Credit Card or Paypal to pay for Tesla Solar

    How are you getting 5% back from paypal? Which credit card?

    Post Your Tesla Solar Layout

    Wow!. This is probably the largest install. 61 panels. 20.74 Kw. Cool. Just surprised that the production estimate is a bit less than I thought. Run this setup in Aurora or Helioscope and see if you can move some panels from your north roof to south.

    Panasonic vs. Hanwha?

    I ordered a 16.32 XL system with Tesla and in process. After tax credit and referral, it cost me 21K. Using Hanwa Q-Cell 340W panel and solaredge inverters

    I would get someone from fiverr.com to run your configuration through Aurora or Helioscope. Having so many panels on your North roof might not be as useful and you could probably go with a smaller installation and upgrade your south facing panels a few years from now.

    Post Your Tesla Solar Layout

    I asked for the west facing panels to be relocated/stuffed into my south array and they responded within a couple of days. I did not like that design. While I will lose around 300KwH from my XL installation, with the old layout, I still had them revert to the old layout. Looks much better.

    Should I care about payback period?

    I am from Houston as well... Just pulled the trigger on a XL system too. Everyone I know asks about the payback period. I calculated a 10 year payback period but was hoping that if sell my home before that, that I recoup atleast half of the cost in increased value. So for the buyer, 10K more for...

    Post Your Tesla Solar Layout

    Near Houston, Texas. Most of the panels are South-facing and a few on the west side. I went full-research mode and had a Aurora model (Thanks, Fiverr) . Turns out the south-east panels are a bit less than optimal than the full-on south. Was hoping to move some panels from West side to the South...

    My car is due to reach the delivery center in Houston today, but have a delivery date of tuesday. Can I just swing by the center and ask them if they can get it ready? I live atleast an hour away(katy) from the center and ubering back and forth is an expensive option.

    Check is fine too... Wiring gets the money into Tesla's hands a day earlier. I am not sure, if this helps the actual shipping timeframe though.
