Hi folks,

Thinking about dipping our toes in self sustainable energy life... Or at least starting that journey. Our average monthly consumption maybe be under 1000 kWh while we are trying to sign up for a 8.16 kWh system that is expected to produce just that with estimated number at 12,220 kWh for the year...

In the interest of keeping our financial footprint small we are not considering a Powerwall install in our system. We do expect an addition or two in our family in the next 2 to 3 years as well.

With that said, I almost never ever see anyone doing a Tesla install without the Powerwall. We do have a net metering option available with 1:1 ratios for consumption and selling with our local electric companies.

Can someone share their advice around the economics of this thing? Is it wise to order what we need now and make use of cheaper technology in the future? Or take advantage of the higher tax rebates now?

Has anyone done a post panel install of more panels or Powerwall? Can you share your economic experience and advice?

Thank you!
