Cool vid. I just got a solar system and 2x Powerwall 3's put in myself. I've been checking the app like I've got OCD its open so much. Nice to see the itemized invoice. I live in Texas and my local solar company added 2x Powerwalls and the Backup gateway 3 for $16K. No additional itemized fees. My local energy delivery company, Oncor, also has a PVV incentive that is supposed to net me an additional $8K back, along with the added 30% Fed. tax credit. So all in all, the 2x Powerwalls only cost me $3.2K.

Did you ask them when their new switch that allows power share to work so we can use vehicles to back feed (v2h) the power wall for blackouts? I heard that it was coming out by the end of the year.

@chuckhursch5374 Ай бұрын

We got our Solar City solar system in 2017. 3 Kw = 10 300W Trina solar panels. The first couple of years, we would could go over 19kwh/day during the peak months. After that it became progressively rarer, and now seems to have settled into occasionally going over 17kwh. No cleaning, like you. Sacramento area. While the tree to the SE is growing, I think it is a minor early morning player. I’ve chalked this up to mostly solar panel degradation. We have done no maintenance on the system. It is a power purchase arrangement.

@brockallstate 14 күн бұрын

Anyone that is in Sacramento area I work for a local installer that is Tesla certified and SMUD is doing a giant rebate for a limited time. We’re not the cheapest installer just a heads up

@markroath98 Ай бұрын

Several questions: What was the cost of your solar panels as an addition to the Tesla costs? What benefit are you expecting versus cost? And finally, what rebates did you receive from the government, etc.

@TeslaTipsTrips Ай бұрын

1. $13k for the solar installation in 2014 2. Expecting to go off grid more, especially during peak rates. 3. Waiting to see what rebates are available, after installation is complete, Tesla submits the forms. So another video will be needed. Thanks for watching!

@thomasjacques5286 24 күн бұрын

We have 31 Q-Cell panels rated at 12.5 kWh with 31 Enphase IQ8A Inverters controlled by a Combiner IQ 4C. Our installer can install Enphase 5Ps or Power Wall 3's. So these videos are a great help. Am leaning towards the 5P's because of their Inverters. The PW3 have great specs but am fearful of losing an entire battery due to Inverter failure. Should I be concerned?

@TeslaTipsTrips 24 күн бұрын

I mean, anything can fail, including the Enphase stuff. Tesla has a 10 year warranty. My system has Enphase micro-inverters as well, which have been running for 10 years now, integrated just fine BTW.

I want 2 PWs but I just can’t justify the cost as my true up is only about $100.

I am looking to get the Tesla Powerwall 3 and my Solar Panels are by Sunpower. So I was so surprised to see that Sunpower supported or Tesla supported the Tesla Powerwall 3 to my setup and I have a video call going tomorrow to get more information. If you don't mind who makes your Solar Panels? I really appreciate your detail with the bill at the end of the video. One concern I am been thinking of is how long there batteries will last. I live in Upland CA and we have had a couple power interruptions by SCE and was thinking this might be a good backup for the home. Thanks again for your work on this video.

@TeslaTipsTrips 24 күн бұрын

My solar panels are Solarworld with Enphase Microinverters and were installed in 2014. The Powerwall 3's have a 10 year warranty, and the new ones are the LFP variety, which are crazy durable. I suggest you contact Tesla directly, they were amazing to work with and undercut everyone's pricing. Tesla's installation workmanship was exceptional, took under 5 minutes for the county inspector (compared with our neighbors 'Franklin' branded installation that failed inspection, requiring multiple visits. As for a back up, it's pretty awesome, we already had one, our house was fully running, while are neighbors sat in the dark.

@DethpickleDave Ай бұрын

You had existing solar, which means you had an existing inverter. My understanding is that PW3's have an inverter built-in, vs the PW2 that didn't. Did the PW3 replace your inverter or do they have some ability to not use or remove the PW3 inverter? Curious because I'm considering a PW and have existing solar with a solarEdge inverter (installed by Tesla). Nice vid! Thanks!

Thank you! Honestly I’m not sure. I have 20 Enphase Microinverters. I have 2 inspections left, I’ll ask.

Wow! I'm in the midst of the same process and I'm out $32K for the same two PWs. although the Gateway is different. I went through Tesla and they farmed it out. Installation coming up midweek. Seems like a ripoff to have to pay $10K more when Tesla could have done it themselves. Oh well...
