Hello all!
Recently bought a 2022 Model Y, and thinking about another Tesla purchase by adding solar, as it seems they have the best rates around here. Wondering if folks can help educate me on why I'd go with a Solar Roof vs. Panels. I likely could get a new roof (it's 20+ years old, albeit seemingly in good condition), and would pay ~$10k for that if I got the panels.
So the choices are:
Option 1: New Roof + Solar Panels (6.0 kw) for $20,122 ($10,000 of that is new roof)
Option 2: New Roof + Solar Panels (6.0 kw) + Solar Battery for $28,172 ($10,000 of that is new roof)
Option 3: Solar Roof (6.34kw) + Powerwall for $39,500
Option 4: Other solar provider? If anyone has recs against Tesla, would love to hear it!
I'm not sure how the Roof could be justified, but happy to hear thoughts. The battery is likely unnecessary (we don't have peak pricing, although maybe will in the future, and we never have outages, but seems like a decent future-proof?)
