Tesla is telling me I can't put panels on my rear porch roof, see pic below. They are saying some states and locales are strict on where they can put solar panels. This seems like total BS to me. I discussed this very exact thing with the Tesla employee who did my site assessment on Monday and he said that's not an issue at all.
I can fit 20 panels on the main rear roof per Tesla's design below. They put the 6 additional panels that I wanted on the rear porch onto the front of the house. The roof is obviously angled away from the south and to the north here, so this seems like an incredible waste of panels and a stupid design. It seems I have no other place to put panels as the rear of my house faces almost exactly south.
I'm pretty pissed about this bc 20 panels is a measly 8.1 kW system vs the 10.53 kW system I wanted. Thoughts? Am I SOL?
