New Powerwall quote install

[Foxyboy]

I just got a phone call from my solar panel installers about connecting my founder Series Powerwall to my existing system here in TN. They quoted me $10.000 to $12.000 to install , I think that's crazy . What do you think?

Uh...do they think you want to purchase a powerwall to install? That is insanity.

They know I don't have to pay for the Powerwall.

Time for another couple quotes.

I do believe they are the only certified Tesla installers in TN, but I will look into it.

Yea...that's WAY too much.

Should be about 1/2 that much at MOST. Plus the $1100 fee for the gateway installation,

Ah, if so, they have a monopoly and might explain the high quote. Gotta hate monopolies (unless you own one).

What is the list of work they are doing? It must be something way beyond physically connecting the powerwall and it's controller. Are they having to redo power runs, add a bunch of panels, lots of construction, or ... . If they did not itemize the quote, I would have them do it to verify the value of the work being done.

Is this from the referral program?

Why not buy one additional Powerwall from Tesla, and have Tesla install both of them while they are at it? It will probably cost less than $10,000 and you'll have two instead of one.

The cost for 1 powerwall from tesla, installed, is like 10,600+ taxes.
