    That is a lot of work for a 1-2 person crew! I had about 6 guys at a minimum and it was just a 24 panel install on 3 sections of the roof and no battery. They had to drive nearly 3.5 hours to get here so I'm sure finishing in one day was their goal.

      yeah, 4 days just one person + 2 days 2 of us.

    Thank u for sharing! Just a real quick question,did you encounter any difficulties during the installation process? What aspects do you think Tesla can do better to help you better install? Thank u!

      all straight forward. maybe I'll shoot a video of things that can be improved

    That's a lot of panels and powerwalls for that size house. My utility wouldn't let me put on that many on my 3000 sf house.

      interesting, not an issue in my area

      @@SolarEngineering Looks like they dropped the cap here with SDGE when they changed the net metering. I'm getting two Powerwall 3s installed today onto my existing system. I had a 10 panel Enphase based system and a newer 27 panel SolarEdge system. Removing all the inverters and using the PW3 ones instead with the backup switch and no gateway.

    Very nice, thanks for sharing that! What specs are for a panel, how many watts and kg?
    Also, 9:30 mounting the powerwalls, isn't that too close to the ground? Mainly because of rain or even flooding, sometimes. Or snow, during winters. But it depends on the area, of course.

    • @SolarEngineering

      powerwall can be submerged into water at the level where red cap installed at the front. It's fully sealed below this level.

    Why 3 Powerwalls rather than 1 Powerwall and 2 expansion units?

    Nice installation.
    I think two powerwall3 were enough for 21kw solar panels

      we are in area where utility don't pay much for exported energy, so owner wants to maximize self-consumption.

      Tesla has a nice RUclips channel: @tesla_one

    Is there a minimum distance you need to place powerwall from main panel?

    • @SolarEngineering
      @SolarEngineering  3 месяца назад

      no minimum, just follow tesla clearance around PW.

    What's the best way to mount solar panel on spanish tile roof, if any?

  • @MichaelrennieG
    @MichaelrennieG 3 месяца назад +1

    I hope they find that metal knockout that went flying inside the powerwall. looked like it could possibly short out the unit when they turn it on..

    not only am i impressed by your workmanship seemingly all alone (one helper?), its interesting to see how different things are in another nation

      Nothing wrong with working alone. It’s lonely at the top 🐐

    Why ppl choose tesla? Looks like that using good equipment but not from tesla you could do same system but at least 30% cheaper, no?

    • @SolarEngineering
      @SolarEngineering  3 месяца назад +1

      I think it's about same price (if we compare same wattage and capacity). Tesla is easier to install (aka less labor expense)

  • @anthonyc278
    @anthonyc278 Месяц назад

    I have a question. Shouldn't the ESS be located at least 3 ft from the other powerwall?

    • @SolarEngineering
      @SolarEngineering  Месяц назад

      Tesla has UL9540A certification, that allows to install less than 3', however some AHJ still not allows to install less than 3'
