Hi guys,
I just put in my order last Thursday for 8.16 kW solar panels + 1 powerwall in the Bay Area. I was wondering what people's thoughts were on 1 powerwall vs two powerwalls. I know it will be a partial backup vs a whole home backup and I'm ok with not having the ac tied the backup. But I was also wondering about problems if I over produce during a blackout and capacity issues with just one powerwall vs two powerwalls.
I'm thinking of getting the second powerwall just concerned about if the SGIP rebate and if I will get it. If I'm pretty confident on that I would probably without hesitation get another wall but I would be more comfortable to afford one at the moment.
Some background:
Live in Peninsula with PGE. Need at least 9000 kwh production per year and I fall in between the small and medium size for panels. I charge one model 3 at home twice a week. Also run a Mitsubishi mini split for my a/c with 5 heads (only use 3 currently). Tesla quoted 11,000 production for 8.16 kwh panels. Thanks and let me know your guys thoughts.
