I am exploring both a Tesla traditional panel system and a solar roof both around 13.7kW systems. Basically, I need a new roof so the solar roof appears to be worth the premium. I have also ordered 3 powerwalls with the system. I use an average of 13kWh / yr and live in NY.
Has anyone else noticed that the solar roof output is significantly less than the traditional panels? My 13.7kW solar roof is estimated to only produce 11,784 kWh / yr. If I assume this will be correct, it might be undersized but my utility only allows a 13.7kW system. The solar panel system would produce around 13kWh / yr.
Does anyone have any advice? Should I stick with the solar roof and trust it will generate enough power and storage with the powerwalls, or return to the traditional panels?
Thanks!
