Another dumb question….if I order today what are the chances I will get in NEM 2?
And what do you think is the latest I can order to be grandfathered in?

yes, agree there is a payoff on Batteries on NEM2, but it is pretty long which is why I said "no real ROI". If you are thinking of adding batteries for an ROI reason there are better places to put your money. To me the PWs are for backup and any savings I get from arbitrage is gravy. It also depends on your system design. I added PWs to existing solar. My solar was designed to get me close to zero NEM. So although I could theoretically save ~900/year using rate arbitrage, I don't have that "room" on my annual NEM. I was ~$200 before PWs and now I can set PW reserves so I get to zero NEM. Even at $900/year, the ROI for my 3 PWs would be aa long time
BTW, I'm on EVA-1, so my peak is $.60/kWh
That assumes nothing breaks and one needs to pay money to repair things.Yea, at my current rate of additional savings with powerwalls, it's going to take me 12 years to fully pay back.

IMO, no matter how one spins it, I tell folks batteries are a waste of money, unless one has money to burn.So a two year risk window. I can live with that.
Not unless you can get the SGIP incentive.IMO, no matter how one spins it, I tell folks batteries are a waste of money, unless one has money to burn.
yep but even then, its a pain dealing with themNot unless you can get the SGIP incentive.
do you say the same thing about generators?IMO, no matter how one spins it, I tell folks batteries are a waste of money, unless one has money to burn.
Yep, for a whole house like I bought. Best way to spend money is buy a 500 buck generator and plug your refrig into itdo you say the same thing about generators?
The company I used to install my 2 powerwalls did all the paperwork for me and they had another person they used to submit it to PG&E.yep but even then, its a pain dealing with them
All that was flawless. But working with them on a daily basis is work and effort.The company I used to install my 2 powerwalls did all the paperwork for me and they had another person they used to submit it to PG&E.

I agree. Its not wasted money. I want more than just my food saved. We had a 3 day PSPS before I got PWs which triggered me to buy the PWs. Not good experience especially in the heat of summerYou mean like the "it's not worth it no matter what spin"?
Even if there wasn't a payback period, it would still not be throwing away money because it's worth it to me have backup power. We have frequent power outages where I live which borders on rural and suburban.
When folks are a 1% er, its easy to buy stuff. My comment is directed at the 99% of folks in society that live pay check to pay check.I agree. Its not wasted money.

you mean all those people that are paying for our gridWhen folks are a 1% er, its easy to buy stuff. My comment is directed at the 99% of folks in society that live pay check to pay check.
Agreed. And that 99% can be twiddled down as a good percent want to live for today only.you mean all those people that are paying for our grid
but your comment is directed to this Forum. I'd say everyone on this forum does not live paycheck to paycheck

My car is a 1990 with 120K miles on itWrong forum. Most people in this forum aren't living paycheck to paycheck. By your reasoning, my X Plaid is also a complete waste of money. I could have bought a 20 year old SUV with a far lower total cost of ownership. That said, I keep my cars for 7 to 10 years. My oldest Prius is 13 years old with 320K miles on it.
