Hi all!
Placed my original reservation with Tesla for both solar and storage 8/19. Was informed shortly thereafter that they don't yet install solar on flat roofs. Canx'd that order and placed an order for 2 PW.
Ended up PV array comprised of 39 sun power 320kW modules paired with enphase microinverters. The array install completed 9/2/2020. Fortuitously, tesla installed PWs arrived 9/16. I'm currently in the "extended testing period" will awaiting PTO from Duke energy.
The system is one of the remaining elements of a new home construction effort that is thankfully nearing completion.
Today is my second full day of "testing" the system and so far so good. I've been self-powered for the last 30ish hours and was able to minimize my "range" anxiety last night by checking the app every few hours. Thankfully I didn't have to make the middle of the night dash outside to close the breaker to the grid.
Only issue I've discovered so far is what appears to be the misplacement of a CT. With the PV shutdown/and in the middle of the night, the app shows energy flowing from solar to the grid. Contacted the installers and they will return to correct the placement of the CT.
Happy to post pictures if there is interest!
