I had no issue with Tesla, just insane timing issues with Novec agreeing to kWh limits. What are you seeing? Delay on getting the Maryland people to do anything, as usual?
No, the install team is from MD. I'M in Virginia, as you see. No problem here. My support people say they have a bunch of installs here. Not sure what they are talking about. I was installed in 2018, but have no idea what they mean by 'we don't install in Virginia'. There was never a hint of that from my sales person last year.
Obviously fewer here because of no state incentive, but you should go back and say, when did this change and why?
(As you can see in my sig, I have a large solar system and 3 PWs.)
It may be Novec and Virginia Power only? I have no idea on the territory of the two, but, yeah....
Never heard of this before, but makes sense if it's the power companies's territory they have agreements with, or they only work with the 'NoVa' ones.....
I'm having Tesla start their analysis for a new 16.32 kW solar install. I noticed that NOVEC, my elec co, suggests Prospect Solar:
Solar | Easy And Affordable Solar Solutions
Never heard of them, but I assume if Novec uses them, they get a kickback or something to allow them to advertise...
From their pages, I wonder if they were a roofing/waterproofing company that brached out (nothing wrong with that, as long as they hire/merge with the right people).
I'd get a detailed quote and references and see what you come up with. I didn't consider anyone else, as I wanted the complete Tesla setup along with PWs.

Does anyone know anything about Prospect Solar? Or other alternatives to consider other than Tesla?
Interesting... mine is also all East and West, and works quite well. about 1/3 E and 2/3 W. I'd check with Tesla to be sure they will interconnect PWs with existing 'other' solar. They may have issues with that.Well, one issue is that my roof is not at all ideal for solar -- in their design Tesla had to use mostly east and west facing slopes and only a small south facing roof was available. I have room for a ground mount and the Tesla person that I talked to thought that they didn't do ground mount -- only roof mount.
Since i have the room for a ground mount (and can easily clean and maintain the panels from there) and those would be ~20% more efficient, that might be better so I am looking at other options for the panels if Tesla refused to do ground mount panels, but would still use Tesla for the PWs.
I also might build a carport or reconfigure another outbuilding just for solar panels if they feel they need to mount them on a structure -- but looking for options. Tesla tries to make it easy and their system is very good so far, but I have unique challenges and this is getting complicated fast.

Assume you don't have any HOA issues with ground mount....
I assume this has the E/W orientation discount built in?
