Tesla Solar: System Review and Updates

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.

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 placed an order with Tesla Online in lat

Well any major purchase requires due diligence....I solicited several quotes from installers. Energysage can do this for you. https://www.energysage.com/ Keep in mind your system is typically limited by your historical consumption (120%). I do not know if this varies by location. So if you are a miser, you can't just plop in a 12-20kw system....plan ahead and burn some juice for a few months  (mine bitcoin?). If you are handy, consider DIY. I went back and forth with wholesale solar which is now Unbound. Its very doable. The  savings are good and can halve payback time. https://unboundsolar.com/ They were helpful. Never said anything about the 120% rule though. Having a  30ft 40 degree (10/12) pitch stopped me though. google-site-verification:googlebddf70ee9885a3b8.html
