Hmm I was just quoted almost $9300 cash after the rebate for a 4.8kw system by Tesla, in California as well. Seems price went up quite a bit in the past year.
Looks good! We have them coming out to do a 22kw system at our house with 4 powerwalls. Exciting stuff. I wasn't aware that they could install over Spanish Tile like yours. Did they mention anything about that to you during consultation?
Yes, that was one of the first things they ask about my roof. Those are concrete tiles. Also they sent out inspector to inspect the roof and roof condition before they actually came out to install. Thank you for watching!🙏😃
I would have had that Tesla Inverter installed in the garage. It appears your inverter is facing South and with the sun, it will weaken your inverter over time. I would have also told them not to run too much conduit and hide the wires within the walls.
In just less than a year, the new Tesla inverter has been overheating and will shutdown and restart at least 6+ times a day to cool off. Sometimes when it's really hot it won't come back up and I have to toggle the lever manually to restart it. It's intermittent and has cut my solar production more than half. The worst was a week of ZERO solar production because I wasn't monitoring. The system did not automatically restart. The inverter smells like burnt too and you can hear the fan at full speed through out the day. The worst part is, I have been waiting for Tesla to fix this problem for months now. Tier 1 support acknowledged the issue and she escalated it to Tier 2 support. Been months now and Tier 2 support hasn't contacted me not once. The Tier 1 support has also stopped responding and just disappeared. There's no other way to contact Tesla Solar support only through the app and once you have opened a case, you have to wait and wait and wait and I am still waiting for the repair until now. I chose Tesla over some small Mom and Pops Solar because I thought they are big and support would have been better and easier. I was wrong.

Wait. So you got 2 inverters? One 7.6kw and one 3.8kw? If so, why don't they upgrade the 2nd inverter to 7.6kw as well. You might have to pay a little more but I would definitely get the 2nd inverter as 7.6kw. Just my 2 cents.

Did you purchase the power wall? Also, what was your monthly bill before you had solar? I am strongly debating if I should install it.

I did not get power wall as it only provides the power to your home as an emergency power supply. My monthly bills were very similar to yours. With 2 Teslas coming your bill would be about 40-60% more depending on how often you charge your cars. You can cancel anytime after you place the order before they actually turn on the system after installation. So you will have plenty of time for them to check how big of the system you will need and if your get enough sun to produce power to supply your house. Thank you for watching and your support.🙏😃

@@dadstoyscars to be honest i guess it's just preference in some areas but where I live we have no choice if any conduit gets ran outside along the wall city and county code officials will not allow us to turn the system on.

Yes this is called an attic run instead of conduit (pipe) run. They usually use material such as Flex, Romex cable ect to run through your attic from each solar array, then they run wires to your Main service panel to connect all your solar panels to your main service line.
My roof was 12 years old and it was in a good shape so I didn't have to fix or replace the tiles. I should have install more panels. Thank you for watching and your support Jon! :)

So you don’t have a battery bank to store your energy to use but your making energy and feeding back to the grid so your neighbours can use? While you’re paying payments on solar panels
Not at all, all the extra electricity that is over produced from the solar panels will be sold back to my energy provider and credit back to my account. It didn't go to waste in any way. The power wall is more than $10K and it's not justify for what I need for my energy uses. Thank you for watching!

you said you put 2800$ Down and Will get it back when tax credit ? But don't you have to give that back to pay off your solar so your payments stay at 75.84? Otherwise if you don't give that back I believe your payments go up ? Or am I wrong ? Sorry not too sure on my end. Great video btw!
I basically just fronted the money that I will eventually get back when I do this year tax return as a down payment. Which is 26% of the total cost of the system.

@@dadstoyscars thanks. We are in Temecula area and have an order in they wanted us to replace tiles with shingles for install. We have concrete too. Wonder if that changed with the new racking they use…..
@@rebeccamorgan3973 I know they wouldn’t install if you have clay tiles but I’m sure they will install for house with concrete tiles. Did they come to inspect your roof before they request the changes?
I originally had Tesla as my first choice, they came out and stated my 25 years old concrete tiles needs to be reroofed in order for them to install. I then contacted SunPower and the rep stated no issue with the roof, however the price was way too high. I then went me local installer because of price and they had no issue with my roof.
@@rebeccamorgan3973 Our concern is... we recently had a leak and had to replace part of our roof (not the tiles but everything underneath). What would the roofing company do if they had to repair that leak and it was under all the solar paneling?!?
Do the edges make the panels less efficient?
I don’t think the edges would effect the efficiency because they do not cover any solar surface areas.

So you don’t have a battery bank to store your energy to use but your making energy and feeding back to the grid so your neighbours can use? While you’re paying payments on solar panels
Not at all, all the extra electricity that is over produced from the solar panels will be sold back to my energy provider and credit back to my account. It didn't go to waste in any way. The power wall is more than $10K and it's not justify for what I need for my energy uses.
Thank you for watching!
Do you plan to bird proof your solar ?
No plan for bird proof at the moment.
Those edges around the panels are kind of help a little.

you said you put 2800$ Down and Will get it back when tax credit ? But don't you have to give that back to pay off your solar so your payments stay at 75.84? Otherwise if you don't give that back I believe your payments go up ? Or am I wrong ? Sorry not too sure on my end. Great video btw!
I basically just fronted the money that I will eventually get back when I do this year tax return as a down payment. Which is 26% of the total cost of the system. That’s how I got my monthly payment to be $75.84. That will also help lower the interest. I hope I answer your question.
Don’t forget to use my referral link in the description to get $300 credit back.

Need to go with solar signature by cheaper inverters that work better that can handle 8,000 watts of electricity coming into it from solar and 500 volts that cost 1300 bucks each that are 6500 watt inverter and only need two of them and 24 and 455 watt solar panels which would all fit on your and is only going to cost you about $4,000 and you're also certified so you can sell them sell electricity to your state if your state buys electricity producing 12 KW an hour. Why didn't you do that that's my question to you?
You can check your solar panel from Tesla app ?
You can always check the energy being produce from Tesla App.
The same app that you use for Tesla cars.

@@dadstoyscars i just got my solar panel but have some problems with connecting to my Tesla app
@@mihainegru2203 Did you try to contact Tesla. Same thing happen before and they fix it on their end.
People are stealing Tesla boxes the entire box just an FYI in Calif.
Hi Jeff, thank you for your concern.
I’ll definitely be more cautioned about it.
We happen to have security camera right above the box so that should help.
