Hello, fellow Tesla friends,
After being Model S owners and being hounded by seemingly endless sales heavy calls from the Solar companies, we've decided to pull the trigger with Tesla energy as it seems like their per Watt price of $1.49 (after incentives) really does seem to be unbeatable! We're moving forward with this in the Austin, TX area. Can you guys help with a couple of questions? I feel like Tesla can sometimes give you the runaround:
1. Albeit we're a family looking to grow in the coming years, our current usage is averaging around 1000 kWh for the year. Entering this in the Tesla ordering system and our actual first proposal from Tesla, we're coming upto the 8.12 kWh system with around 12,xxx generated per year. For anyone in this area of the country, can you guys confirm this is the cheapest cost y'all have seen for solar, overall?
2. We won't profess to being technical gurus of the solar technology, but in general, everyone seems to recommend that micro inverters are the way to go to beat shading as well as expansion issues. Well, the sales guy told us the ultimate decision on what we get from Tesla is their prerogative, however, if we insist we want the micro inverters, they should be able to oblige. Well, our proposal came back with the SolarEdge string inverters. We have wrote back with a request to get the micro ones. Can someone share their experience on this topic? Did they oblige? Which one is actually better? We actually have possibly zero shading issues and back of the house faces South.
3. We also went through a referral with another family account. The referring order account says in the app that referred account has canceled their order. However, the sales person sent us a document showing that the referal came through via our other account. We're asking Tesla to look into this... Anyone experience this? What was your experience?
4. We're intending on leveraging some cash back opportunities with our credit cards... And pay in full. However, the card with the post points/rewards has a low credit limit even with the increase on the limit. Anyone have experience of making the pay two times over a course of time?
Thank you all in advance!
