New 340W Solar Panels on Tesla's Website

You need to enter your address and utility bill amount before you will see powerwall info.
I was told by Tesla that you can cancel pretty much any time up until the truck pulls into your driveway for the install. You shouldn’t have to worry about a 3 day cancellation period.
Ya I think it just saves me the $130 "deposit" maybe. Either way, my rep got back to me and said there has been a ton of people calling about this but she did not have the info on what the rebate would be and she also couldn't get through to tesla financial side to find out yet, so we cancelled the order and put a new one in.
Interestingly - maybe its been covered on here somewhere else already - but since I didnt have a Tesla account and referral link prior to my original order, I used my friend's referral link, but now that I had placed an order and cancelled it, I still had an account and was able to place the new order under my own referral link

I emailed my rep and was able to get my small system knocked down about $1000 if I stick with the smaller panels.
I am getting quotes for moving some roof vents so my permits and design are paused at the moment. It seems like I could keep the small panels as is, or move to the bigger panels (not for free of course). Lucked out I guess.

Any info or speculation as to what inverter will be used with the new 8.16kw-medium package? I paid my deposit last week and was in the process of tweaking the layout when news broke this morning. They gave me the option to change to the new panel/pricing or adjust my current contract to match the new price per watt. Net cost winds up about the same either way due to the way Hawaii does their rebate.
Delta's M-Series seems to match up nicely. They have 4 kW, 5 kW, 6 kW, 8 kW and 10 kW.

Interesting. Thanks for the link. How do these stack up to the SolarEdge? Trying to decide whether to stick with the 7.56kw system or do the “upgrade”. I don’t necessarily need the increased system size, but hey bigger is better amirite /s.
I am not sure that even after the permit is filed you are locked in.
Our solarglass roof, and I suspect many others, is slightly different than what was on the original permit stated. When they got up on the roof they found they had to install a slightly different number of active tiles which changes the overall solar power generated by the roof versus what is on the permit. The roof was initially inspected and signed off (nailing inspection at 1/2 way) under this permit. Now that the roof is finished, an updated to the original permit (i.e. permit number is the same) has been filed with the actual numbers. That is winding its way through the checks and should (fingers crossed) be approved and final inspection scheduled in a week or so. I have been working (actually more like saying where the heck is it!) with the city on this and they are set to inspect in a day or so of the permit update being approved.

We have the M4 and M8 on our Solar glass roof. They worked well during testing. Peaking over 10KW ( from12+KW roof) in early May. Only downside is no display except 5 status lights. Also, they communicate with a Tesla/Solar City inverter gateway box, but I have no found a way to get access to the data to get per inverter information.

With the SolarEdge inverters they use power optimizers, which provide many of the advantages of microinverters. I don’t know if they do something similar with the delta inverters.

Some other benefits of the new 340W G6+ panels:
- black main busbars (as opposed to silver/metallic)
- 25 year panel and performance warranty (as opposed to 12 year panel / 25 year performance)
- 0.3% more efficient
- 0.01 Voc better temperature coefficient
The new panels and pricing should result in about a 15% shorter pay-back period compared to previous pricing, which was already far lower than what I could find locally.

The new document appeared in my account today and needed to be virtually signed. Here is what it looks like (after removing my personal information):
Interesting. I received a new "solar purchase agreement" with the updated pricing which required my virtual signature. The price was originally $10,500 on my first agreement and is now $9,581.55 on the new one. I haven't paid for any portion of the system yet besides the $100 deposit, your documents seem to imply you have paid for a portion or all of your system?
