Tesla announced the Powerwall/Powerpack products on May 1, 2015. They did not announce that they were immediately for sale, nor did they announce they would be making an integrated storage battery/inverter product. So your "1.5 years late" calculation is inaccurate and misleading.with now an expected end of year date for an integrated Powerwall/Solar Panel/ Inverter system, this'll be, like 1.5 years after expected Powerwall initial sales. That's about right for Tesla: 1.5 years late...
This could be like someone asking if he should buy the Model S now or wait for an update. The answer is "who knows"?Here's my question:
If one were poised to purchase, say, a 10k system that included a SolarEdge inverter and a Powerwall, would it be better to wait a year or so to see if an integrated Tesla solution that's superior/cheaper, etc. comes to fruition?
I am having a 9.8kW system installed on my roof this month, with a SolarEdge inverter and a Powerwall. I've been waiting 16 years, even since I bought my house, to get solar, because I always wanted an effective and efficient storage battery so that I could have power during a grid outage. I'm not going to wait for the next version of the Powerwall which will very likely have an inverter and be better in a variety of ways.Here's my question: If one were poised to purchase, say, a 10k system that included a SolarEdge inverter and a Powerwall, would it be better to wait a year or so to see if an integrated Tesla solution that's superior/cheaper, etc. comes to fruition?
Given the relatively small number of PowerWalls that will be installed with the SolarEdge inverter, I would not expect them to design the next generation product with internal inverter to integrate with the old DC-only PowerWall at all.I do anticipate, in 5 to 10 years, adding another Powerwall and maybe some more panels on my roof. At that time, I hope that the new Powerwall with built in inverter will allow me to replace my SolarEdge inverter and connect to my existing Powerwall.
My bet is that they will. If they don't, that's okay too. My system will serve me just fine as is. Installation of my PV/Powerwall system is scheduled for next week. I'm super excited!Given the relatively small number of PowerWalls that will be installed with the SolarEdge inverter, I would not expect them to design the next generation product with internal inverter to integrate with the old DC-only PowerWall at all.
