Tesla Motors Club
I've seen/read several discussions on this forum, but wanted a very basic point of view without high-jacking anyone else's thread.
In simple terms, help me understand something. Assuming a 12.24 kW system. Solar radiation, roof position, etc. All these variables give us an actual production. Also factoring efficiently, let's be conservative at 85% and call it 10 kW. Am I correct by saying this is peak capability on a perfect solar day. I did a PV Watt and Smart Meter (thanks, Bob) on a very hot Houston afternoon. I see the following chart:
See the peak at 2kW. In basic terms.. does that mean I'll be capable of producing 4-5x my consumption? In otherwords.. my system is 4-5 x oversized and thus power should be going somewhere like net-meter to grid or battery. I live in a new home which is generally more efficient and green where possible and running a 26k gallon pool as well on a 90+ degree Houston day and I'm peaking 2kW with AC running. With that last statement, I can't imagine many people need much more than the smallest Tesla system.
Seems too simple. What am I missing?
(I have 2 PWs coming which hoping to carry me through the night)
