Right. You are told prior to the installation. I don’t know if you can elect to cancel at that point. I can’t recall the terms regarding that.
I contacted them a couple weekends ago though the web and receive a call on the next Monday. I struggle with making a deposit before anyone comes out to examine our home, our energy needs and the infrastructure. I’d prefer a quote prior to making a deposit.
The deposit amount has changed since I contacted them three weeks ago. Now, a purchase requires $100 deposit. Rental requires amount equal to first month's rent.
"You, the buyer, may cancel this transaction at any time prior to midnight of the third business day after the date of this transaction. See the attached notice of cancellation form for an explanation of this right.

It's not clear to me when the transaction is dated...the date when you sign the online agreement and submit the deposit (which is the day you submit the order), or if it's the date of the scheduled installation. I presume it's the former. I need to call Tesla for details.

Yes and they refund it 5 days after install. If you need a number to call to get ahold of a Tesla solar rep let me know.

yes thats correct, they now have you take photos of all your equipment to upload when you put your deposit in
deposits are fully refundable and you get your money in < 1 week
Does Tesla do a detailed energy analysis of your electrical usage?
I’m specifically concerned about determining our daylight and nighttime usage, and I have not yet seen that type of report from our local utility company, although we can get daily averages.

I don't believe they do but why I'm curious why you would ask for this? They did have me upload my latest electric bill which has a history of the last 12 months of usage. As far as I know they just use this to determine if you've bought the right system. I think in my area the utility can deny an install if the system is much larger than your past usage.
Since the Tesla system does not supply power at night (unless one installs a separate battery storage system), I want to know how many kilowatts of much of my daily power use is during the day and during the night. It directly effects our monthly savings. During the summer and fall, we use our air conditioning system extensively after sundown and through the night.
