Hey, my first post, been reading for many moons though.
I am signed up for 2 PWs with one of those expensive outfits (Swell), got into Tier 1 so as someone said given the 0.50/W incentive it still makes sense. Though I don't believe Swell's claims that you can count 30% of the full cost towards ITC (i.e. without deducting the SGIP payment) unless you declare the SGIP payment as income. But now that it's 2018 I guess my marginal tax rate went down so may actually work out better. Note however that I am no tax lawyer...
I'm looking forward to seeing how TOU Arbitrage works when it finally comes out. I have 2.4kW PV pointing SW, on PG&E's EVA rate (with Ford Focus EV, I know don't laugh) so don't really need a PW for economics (yet), but hoping to eventually use them for more like Demand Response with somebody like OhmConnect or eMotorWerks. And whole house backup of course, though my circuit seems to be pretty reliable so far. But man those units are taking a long time to get to me, Tesla must be sending a lot to Puerto Rico and Australia
