I received my initial design from Tesla today and they spec'd (14) Q Cell 340w panels. This, unfortunately, only gets us about 2/3 of what we need. I've received proposals from 2 other companies who spec'd 18 (x400w) and 21 (x 375w) panels, respectively. I immediately emailed my Tesla rep to ask if they can add panels and increase the power by using Q Cell 400w panels.
Based on my reading in these forums, it appears I may be able to convince them to add panels by re-configuring the layout, but they won't move away from Q Cell 340w panels, is that accurate?
I'm so disappointed, I was really hoping to go with Tesla (the price can't be beat in LA County) but given the shape and orientation of my roof, it seems I need greater capacity panels.
