So I basically spent a whopping $50,000 on a 6.5kWh (with a 7 kWh inverter) + 3 Tesla Powerwall 2s late last year. Since then, I significantly increased my power usage with the addition of a second Tesla car and a new hot tub. Now my system is undersized for my needs. When they sold me the system, they told me I could add additional panels in the future if my needs increased. So I called Tesla Energy today, and they told me with their new restructuring, they've discontinued support for upgrading existing systems, and can only sell me a second system or a replacement for my existing system. But they will not under any circumstances add panels to the existing system.
So I called around to other solar companies, and they've all told me they won't touch Tesla solar systems, and likewise would need to replace the Tesla solar panels with their own if I wanted a larger system.
I'm pretty miffed by this, especially since it was so important to me that I could increase capacity in the future, and Tesla's sales assured me this was possible. Now they're saying on S.O.L. and everyone else is telling me the same thing.
Not sure what to do. But this is important information for anyone considering Tesla Solar. What you order is what you'll have forever, unless you want a whole brand new system, with a new inverter and everything.
