We're building a new deck on the sunniest side of the house and plan to cover it with a roof that would perfectly hold 16 panels. But the project managers I can get to on the phone (all junior people, so far) said that Tesla is unwilling to place panels on any structure that doesn't have at least 3 solid walls even if it has been designed by a structural engineer and approved by the city.
Has anyone successfully got Telsa in install on a deck's roof? (We're in California, if that makes a different to your answer/experience.)
The simplistic "no install on something with 3 walls" answer is frustrating since the 900 lbs of panels is a tiny fraction of the 40,000 lbs that is being designed around for seismic and load considerations. It's also been frustrating up to this point since I've been unable to get to the people that really call the shots.
