Tesla Solar Panels Price Cut

I'm afraid my 4-9 TOU will look really high.  Do you try to not run electricity during that time?

I'm on TOU PRIME but the hours are the same. If you are a heavy user of electricity from 9pm-8am then you definitely want to be on Prime because of winter hours. I only charge my cars at 9pm or later but otherwise my regular electricity usage is non-discretionary.

Plus there will be days that you will build up a sizable surplus from being away from home. Like Sunday I wasn't home for most of the day and this was my usage

4-9 TOU is just during week days right? At least it is with PG&E.

I was also worried about peak hours being between 4PM and 9PM but we compensate our usage during that time with a high production during the rest of the day.

Our true up looks good so far. Probably too good, have to look into an EV soon.

No 4-9pm is peak for weekday and weekend. It's just the cost of peak on the weekend is lower than weekday.

I'm going to be giving Tesla a call to get a quote since I can't see it being that much more than just re-felting the roof.
 
There's a lot of companies that do the solar tile.  Not just Tesla.
I found that Tesla is about 15% more expensive then your local solar company....while sunrun is 30% more. 


Those people who stand around costco and homedepot all day gots to get paid!
 
So my solar installation is finally complete.  A summary:

I read this thread on May 5.
I had sunrun come estimate my house.
I created an energysage account afterwards.
I told sunrun to fuck off.
I signed with a solar company on 05.30.2019
It was installed on 08.07.2019
Edison gave me PTO (permission to operate) on 08.21.2019.

So what now?

energysage.com had some promotions that I just applied.
1. $100 amazon gift card
2. $250 Panasonic rebate for using their panels

We'll see if I actually get any of this money.
 
So I spent $18,000 on this array after tax incentives
It should be paid off in 2026.

What if I had put $18,000 into AMZN instead of this solar array. How much will it be by 2026?
Today Amazon is $1,813/share (10 shares)

We'll have to revisit this post in 7 years.



I use TI as my personal time capsule.
 
I think Tesla/SC know which install are using these connectors, I've heard of a few people in my neighborhood getting their solar array shut down and waiting for replacement.

Congrats. What company did you go with and what was their quote per kWatt before tax incentive?
 
How did you "apply" for your Panasonic Energysage rebate? I saw the rebate when quoting and installed Panasonic. I just don't see a place to apply for it.
