Hi,
A few months ago I sent in a request via the app to Tesla stating that I thought the production from our Solarroof was a little low. Then I did not hear anything from Tesla. Typical I thought.
However, apparently, Tesla was monitoring our roof's production for a month or two and decided it was not high enough. So 3 weeks ago they asked if they could come out and take a look. I said yes, but we were going to be on vacation until 6/30 and scheduled an appointment for 7/7. Then while we were on vacation, they called and said they had a crew available and asked if could they come out. We pointed out we would not be there, but the Tesla coordinator thought they could check and fix anything without needing to get into the house. So we said go ahead.
Last week they spent a couple of days troubleshooting and could not get power from some of the south side tiles. They finally just decided to replace all those tiles. So the day we came home there was a box truck with 4 Tesla badged installers working on the roof. And for the next 2 days, they replaced and double and triple-checked that the production of the new tiles that met or exceeded specs.
So far, the production peak is up 2 kW and daily production has increased from 40 to 57+ kWh, even with overcast mornings (Bay Area June Gloom - minimal production until 9 AM). Hopefully, it will do better starting tomorrow when the sun is visible earlier.
