Maybe this is the mixup... but no, I'm not asking PG&E to upgrade my line. All the homes in my subdivision were built within a year of each other and are pretty cookie cutter. After speaking with my adjacent neighbors, some had their homes upgraded to 200A service by PG&E when they bought their Teslas; or had Solar installed. They said it was not very expensive for this.
A few months ago Sunrun's PM said they "do this 200A service upgrade all the time and it's no big deal." Sunrun's work order also says this is a "zero cost" to me and part of the original bid.
I just wish Sunrun would let me talk to PG&E directly on this. It's like scenario in Office space where the Jump to Conclusions Mat guy is supposed to be the one that takes specs from the customers and relays to the engineers. It's clear to me the project managers employed by Sunrun don't know how to resolve an issue; they only know how to push paper and wait. But PG&E sucks, and they're probably sitting there with their thumbs up their bottoms. Which means Sunrun is sitting there doing nothing as well.
I don't know why Sunrun won't work in parallel and schedule the racking/panels/home-run and Battery/TEG mounting knowing they can't interconnect until the 200A service is live. I just need a picture of the hardware installed (but probably not working) before December 31 to get the Federal Tax Credit.
I have managed hundreds of projects in my career, and I have never missed a deadline or whiffed on my budgets/expectations. But the moment I have to let someone else take over like with this Solar+Battery thing, it all goes into a black hole and falls way behind schedule. It's maddening for me since I never miss my deadlines, and I hold others to that same standard.
My install has now hit 120 days since I signed a contract; and they promised five times this would not take longer than 120 days. And now they're just like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ .
