Tesla Energy

Does anyone know how to commission on Solaredge app? I tried and it keeps saying to contact installer. I contacted tesla and they are clueless.

How is Delta m8 inverter compared to Tesla 7.6kW inverter? Initially on my plan set they had tesla inverter, but had to switch to Delta since my utility company (PPL) won't allow them to install a tesla inverter.

Is 7.6 kW Tesla enough for 10.4kw pv array solar panel system? I have 26 panels which equals to 10.4 kw system. Is one tesla 7.6 kw enough? Shouldn't they be installing two inverters?

Hi Guys After some advice here please. We’re about to rebuild our bungalow and want to eliminate gas completely. So we’re going for Solar PV, Air-Source Heat Pump, Powerwall and a Zappi2 charger for our Model 3. What I’m not sure of though is how/when we need to arrange singing up to...

So, I’ll try to keep this brief, but I’m hoping someone else has been through this and has a recommendation... Facts: I’m located in CA and had Tesla install a ~4.3kw system 3.5yrs ago. I was my own advisor as I worked for the company at that time. We are now facing the reality that we need to...

Hello everyone, I am looking to get a Tesla solar roof. However, my HOA needs to see a solar roof sample before they approve. No one that I know has the tesla solar roof. Do the Tesla stores have the sample? Or has anyone gotten the solar roof in Sacramento? thank you,

A beautiful Tesla Energy branded Model Y was spotted by a Redditor in Glendale, CA today: I know Tesla doesn't always use their own vehicles for mobile rangers and energy; it would be nice if they can use more of them in the future instead of continuing to use ICE. I don't know if they have...

So, it looks like there was a refocus on the Energy team and a drop in pricing again. An updated page for the The referral fee which was $250 for the roof or panels just changed to $100 (about 5 minutes ago since I started writing this post and noticed that it would still show $250 when...

Tesla hints at the capability to produce enough Solar Roof tiles for up to 1,000 homes per week. Tesla boasted yesterday that its Giga New York plant (also known as Gigafactory 2) built 4 MW of Solar Roof tiles last week. We assume that it’s the total volume, produced at the plant in Buffalo...

It was a major turning point when Tesla moved to set, online pricing for standard solar panels earlier this year. Seemed like the price varied from state to state based on interesting factors, but strangely pricing was locked in at a certain price per Watt regardless of array size. Obviously...

Tesla’s giant battery installation in Australia is about to get a lot bigger.The Powerpack farm is already the world’s largest lithium-ion battery, but the plan is to grow it by 50%. Renewable energy company Neoen said in a press release that the Hornsdale Power Reserve will receive a 50...

I am requesting a sub forum be created under the 'General Forum' titled 'Home Charging'. I've recently installed wiring to a detached garage to power the whole garage and provide greater charging for my Model 3. I'd like to share the knowledge I've gained from my research that may serve helpful...

Tesla’s solar sales model received another update last week when the company launched a subscription option for commercial applications. The company launched an online portal that offers price comparisons with or without incentives, as well as the benefits of choosing a rental option...

Tesla solar panels caught fire on the roof of an Amazon warehouse in Redlands, California, according to a report from Bloomberg. The news comes days after Walmart disclosed it has suffered similar fires from Tesla installations. The Amazon fire reportedly occurred June 2018 and involved a...

Walmart is suing Tesla after solar panels at seven stores allegedly caught fire, according to a court filing. Walmart also claims Tesla “routinely deployed individuals to inspect the solar systems who lacked basic solar training and knowledge.” “Tesla’s personnel did not know, for example...

Cliff notes: If you plan to install a Solar City / Tesla Energy system on your house and EVER plan to move, find a different company. Caveat: I'm a huge Tesla fan, own 2 vehicles and (formerly) their solar array. Their service has always been terrible since day 1 but I figured the product...

FYI - Tesla just announced a new monthly rental program for home solar panels. 3 levels - $50, $100, & $150 per month. Not a lease - Tesla handles all installation costs. Maybe car charging systems and power walls are next logical rental step to help generate solar use? Tesla launches...

https://electrek.co/2019/02/04/tesla-electrify-america-powerpacks-charging-stations/ This is awesome news. It seems an obvious way to support increased power without exorbitant demand charges.

It makes sense that Tesla would open its full year update on its energy products division by talking about the Model 3 sedan. There’s no doubt that production of the new sedan stole the spotlight in the product suite, but Tesla Energy still managed to hum along. Tesla Energy currently...

We've gone under contract for a house in Colorado that has an existing 10.5 kW SolarCity installation from 2015. The problem is that the roof is in such shape currently that it needs to be replaced. Normally roofs get replaced before a house is sold in this area (if they've not been recently...

Hi all We are really close to pulling the trigger on a PV system with Tesla (no powerwalls) but I have some major reservations. I love the look of their black panels with the edge skirts, something that other solar companies don't have. And my rep assures me that they can install before the...

A recent video released by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection gives us a good look at the construction of Tesla’s solar shingles. Fire training instructor Brock Archer narrates the video and offers a few details on the shingles: The panels are made up of...

As the owner of a Model S and a Model 3 as well as a 7.8 kW Solar City PV array, I'd say I am one of Tesla Energy's best customers. In any case, I cannot get them to answer the telephone, return phone messages, or respond to my emails. I am now becoming increasingly upset and am not sure how...

Tesla will increase efforts from its Tesla Energy division that produces products like the Powerwall and Solar Roof, according to USA Today. “It’s like with Model 3,” Tesla Chief Technology Officer JB Straubel told the paper of demand for the solar products. “People have come flooding in and...

Elon Musk continues to find ways for his multiple companies to work together, the latest being an order of Tesla motors and battery packs supplied to the Boring Company. The amount of equipment sold to the tunnel-digging startup totaled $400,000 for this year and 2017, according to a...

With a growing fleet of Teslas on the road, the company’s products are beginning to rack up some serious stats. Tesla published a series of graphics Sunday offering updates on total miles driven across the fleet, tons of CO2 saved, and kilowatt hours produced. The company says...

I was aware that Puerto Rico had suffered a whole island black out last week when a tree fell on some power lines and then read today about another whole island blackout due to some construction equipment. No mention of Telsa's efforts and it had me wondering how those Tesla Powerwall and...

After a very long wait, we finally had the crews out to install our solar and 2 Powerwall units yesterday and today. Process via Tesla Energy was not trouble free as the panels they installed today weren't the panels we asked for. We wanted the black/black 315W panels but ended up with a...

Anyone here that installed the Powerwall with Enphase micro-inverters? Anyone here that was able to have Tesla properly apply for SGIP "Small residential energy storage" incentives for California residents?

Has anyone seen this post make the news in the blogs? The IRS provided a response to an individual taxpayer that, given certain configuration considerations, a Powerwall Installation which integrated with an existing PV installation is eligible for the ITC. The battery characteristics...

Just wondering if anyone has experienced any difficulties with their insurance companies, or if their premiums have risen excessively as a result of the install?

I'm getting my site survey this week, and have been planning the PowerWall install for a little while now. I'm interested in getting any feedback on my system as it relates to how the PowerWalls are connected. Some background info. I have an existing 5.13kW solar system, and TOU metering (SCE)...

I got this today when checking the power wall from my phone (and my wife's and my iPad): I logged out and tried to log back in but it fails. I can login into my Tesla account from a web browser and it's working fine. I login into the power wall directly from a web browser and its running...

How about another "special offering" from one of Elon's companies? Electric Snow Mobile Taiga Motors Taiga Motors | Customer How about helping out this Canadian startup get going? (I think a former Tesla employee may work there?) Offer at Tesla stores? Offer to just Tesla owners? Offer as a...

Seems like it's been ages. I put in my deposit the moment it was available online and I own other Tesla products but I've heard absolutely nothing from them. Just wondering if anybody's heard anything about or installations happening. Other than just a couple of test ones they did.
