Anyone else show up on the sgip summary excel sheet this week?
I just found mine. Missed it earlier because it has the wrong zip code.

Anyone else show up on the sgip summary excel sheet this week?
Mine did not make it in wave 1. I am still waiting for rebate application. Tesla is not saying much on whether it will be ready before step 2 opens up. At this point I am thinking if I will have a better chance at the rebate if I cancel the order with Tesla and go with an authorized Powerwall installer. Will wait for few more days before making a call.
The most frustrating part is that there are no updates from Tesla and all my phone calls turned into talk with reps and concierge who have no idea what the process is or where the rebate currently stands.
Any recommendations on authorized Powerwall installers in So Cal?
Using the My Tesla app, you can monitor system operation from your mobile device, including the following:
- Real-time power usage
- Energy consumption history
- Energy reserve for backup needs
- Relative amounts of energy used from solar, grid, and Powerwall storage
The Backup Gateway provides control and monitoring capability through the My Tesla app.
That's the information I want to get out of SolarCity but have been unable to do so. It's frustrating.I'm a bit late to the party, just put down my deposit on one PW2 today after reading about the SGIP rebate. Anybody think I have a shot at Tier 3 maybe, or is there such a backlog that I'm likely to miss out on the rebate altogether at this point?
That's partly why I went with Pick My Solar / LA Solar Group as my installer. While this will likely cost me a bit more than taking my chances with SolarCity, I do like knowing exactly where I stand, and I appreciate good communication. If SolarCity had been more responsive a few weeks ago, I'm pretty sure I would have gone with them. Competition is good.That's the information I want to get out of SolarCity but have been unable to do so. It's frustrating.
Today I got a call from the concierge and shortly after, an email. She told me that they are waiting on the permits from the utility to proceed and that a utility inspector would arrive in a few days to do it. After that site visit then they would be able to proceed with an installation date.
Finishing up the PW install today (took a bit longer than expected).
Reserved PW last year in November
Was notified by Tesla Energy/Solar City of the SGIP rebate via email on April 10th and completed on April 20th
April 25 - scheduled a May 10th installation date
The PW was commissioned yesterday (registered with Tesla) but ran into some wiring issues that they are resolving today. The Tesla app doesn't show the PW yet.
Very fast process once the SGIP rebate was offered/completed. Looks like they have a good supply of PW units, but it is the backup gateway that is in limited quantity.
As I posted earlier, we are going with LA Solar Group (via Pick My Solar) as our Powerwall 2 installer, as they were able to get us the maximum SGIP rebate ("Step 1") and have been very responsive. Meanwhile, I've held onto my Powerwall reservation with Tesla, which is what Tesla/SolarCity recommended doing.
Yesterday, SolarCity called in an attempt to set up a site survey, even though they noted a couple of weeks ago that I'm using a third party installer. After some discussion, they agreed that I can go ahead and cancel the reservation with Tesla. However, they aren't sure how many days, weeks, or months it will be before Tesla starts releasing Powerwalls to certified installers. The implication is that you'll get your Powerwall faster through SolarCity. But this isn't much of a concern for me as long as we get the installation done sometime this year.
So I went on the Tesla website and made several attempts to cancel. Each time, even after logging out and back in again, I got a generic error - "Something went wrong". Maybe I'll just wait until SolarCity calls in another attempt to set up a site survey. Not interested in calling and waiting on hold right now.
