Is 6,500sqft lot a requirement from anywhere?

How big is the house (single family detached?) and how many people are living in it? Like others have said, 7kWh/day seems low. Haven't heard of Sunstreet, but right now you can expect to pay ~$2.50-2.75/watt for a solar panel system before govt incentives. So a 5 kW system is $13,750 (on the...

But what about your $2000 clothes hanger (bike)?

I'm curious about the decision for 3 PW with a 8.16kW system... usually they recommend 1 PW per 4-5kW solar system. Is it to be self-sufficient for outages?

Explain like I'm 5... what is a superfund site?

My opinion S > W no matter what SW > SE S vs SW is debatable, but I'd still take S. I think it offsets either way you go. The panels will collect more energy midday with S facing panels, but the energy is worth less.

They definitely need to be installed, but it?s also up for debate whether you need PTO (permission to operate) from your electrical provider (as they can drag their feet on this) by end of 2020. The wording in IRS guidance is vague, but I believe general consensus is that the system just needs...

I think Redfin works best for people who enjoy doing an excessive amount of their own research and don't need a lot of hand holding. Even if their research is flawed, they can only blame themselves.

Yes, it's on entire installation cost.

I think batteries are still new and will definitely get cheaper in the future. The dilemma right now is that you can get the 26% fed credit on the battery right now if you install with solar. And after 2021, no more credit. So the question becomes will battery prices drop by 22-26% in two years...

Good to hear about the good experience with Altair and the warning with Solar Optimum. I've heard good things about Altair elsewhere as well. Some TI members went with Infinity Solar and had good experiences I believe. Although based on my energysage quote, they came in higher than Altair. Did...

I don't think anyone can beat Tesla on price. He/she probably just decided to go for a local installer for better customer service.

Can you share a screenshot of your generation graph in the app? Also, do you just have 1 array or multiple, and facing which direction?

Can try Hippo as well.

I don't think you will get SFR w/open floor plan for that budget. Detached condos/townhome will be your best bet. The ones you picked seem fair to me. I wouldn't go w/Twin Flower though, too close to freeway. Roycroft definitely most bang for the buck, but they seem to have trouble selling it.

Yeah, those with model Y, what Wh/mi you getting?

It's definitely an interesting case study. There are probably so many reasons, but a few of the bigger ones I see: - Simply better technical specs: range, efficiency, price, charging rate, etc - Smaller, nimble company w/no conflict of interest: don't have to worry about cannibalizing sales of...

How much higher do investment property rates usually go for (conventional)?

Doesn't hurt to ask Tesla if you can do that. Especially if you haven't gotten PTO yet. I think Tesla's 7-day return policy (if that applies to subscription) is after PTO date. ;)

It's time for your monthly Tesla price adjustment! All system sizes now harmonized to $2.01/W pre-incentive, or $1.49/W post-incentive. This is the biggest benefit to the Small system, which moved from $10k to $8.2k (pre-incentive). The other 3 sizes actually went up in price, with the biggest...
