Solar journey....Energysage vs Tesla

Energysage quotes vs Tesla

The prices quoted from Energysage were all very close. Competitive amongst themselves.
The average quote was $3.12/W.
For a 4 kw system in 2020 (26% tax credit):
Energysage
$3.12 x 4kw=$12,480-$3,245(26% credit)=$9,235 or $2.31/W
Tesla
$1.49 x 4kw=$5,960

#Solar #Tesla #energysage

A difference of $3,275. Would you pay 55% more than you need to? 5-10% maybe.... Breakeven in 16 years or 10 years?
10 for me.

Solar panel journey.....on to Tesla

Too busy to shop around? Energysage is a central market place that can pull many quotes from nearby installers and it provides lots of information about going solar.   My quotes from Energysage (Front Range, Colorado) #1 $ 3.10/  watt #2 $3.05/ watt #3 $3.19/watt #4 $3.15/ watt (all prices before tax credit) Several of the follow up calls were aggressive, pushy....salesman.   Some were laid back. I knew what DIY costs were amd Tesla. So these were way too expensive...payback too long. Most played dumb when asked about Tesla pricing. Tesla  was $1.49/watt (after tax credit).  Thats all inclusive (hardware, installation, permitting). How can you not know your competition pricing? One salesman acknowledged and played the local, customer service angle.  Tesla does have quite a bit more negative reviews out there mixed in with some postives.....and poor customer service is a big complaint.... But the price difference is too compelling.... I p...

More on the Delta Inverter

Image
To log into the M-4-TL or M-8-TL inverter,  Open the app while standing very close to the inverter. I stand inside by the window nearest it, maybe three feet away and it finds it automatically. It will prompt you for a code. Enter the 4 digit code to get you logged in. Once you in, this what you see: -3.2 kWh produced today so far -2.776 kW current power output -1732.5 kWh produced since system install (all data in the Tesla app) After that though, its all new stuff. We get the system level AC voltage and AC  current. 247 V and 11.2 {Power=I  * V} P= 11.2 A x 247 V=2.776 kW The string level detail is next. PV1 and PV2 are the DC voltage and current produced by each string. In this case, the real time power from each string is: P1= 7.4 A x 229 V= 1694.6 W P2= 4.4 A x 244 V=  1073.6 W Total P=  2768.2 w or 2.768 kW This data was about 9am. So PV1 must be the Eastern array. Here is the same data near mid day when we are at peak output.  You can see...
