What's up everyone. Am I okay going with Tesla for solar and PowerWall and what pitfalls, equipment, and installation issues should I know about?
I'm closing on a house in 10 days and I'm starting from zero on the original electrical panel and a roof that I'm replacing on the seller's dime. I put a downpayment on a 7.2kw Tesla solar panel/powerwall combo, but maybe I could do better. I live in San Diego so SDGE loves to empty my pockets and anything I can do to pay them less I'm all for.
If I go Tesla for solar and powerwall am I missing out on cool inverters or tech that would let me do things like leaving my Tesla plugged in but the house only charging when I have excess solar? Their prices are crazy low compared to a couple bids I got. I really like set it and forget it tech where I'm home and my car charges when the sun is out and I don't need the extra juice or if it's super smart and knows how to arbitrage the power company.
Thanks for any help you can give!
