Recently Tesla Hit me with a 9k extra charge for my solar install; the reason behind that is my duplex needs both unit panels upgraded to meet the new code standards and to integrate solar. While reviewing Tesla's project drawing, it shows that they are only planning on putting in 125A service(100AMP originally) for each unit. But with my current load, I'm afraid that when I install my Mni split AC system(30amp), it will go over what my service can provide. I contacted Tesla, and they insist on only putting in 125A service instead of 200A, even though it's the same amount of work with different breakers and box plus that PGE already approved a 200AMP service upgrade request from Tesla; they give me the option to either upgrade my service myself and then put solar in, which has the possibility that they have to rip some stuff out again to fit in the powerwall and gateway, etc. or have them finish the install, then I upgrade the service myself. Any recommendations on what to do? Tesla seems to be the cheapest in my area, with other quotes reaching upwards of 50k and even 80k or maybe 125AMP is enough with added 220/30AMP AC in the future
