This was a good process from my first contact to completion. The marketing team simply provided information (options, timing, cost, process). They never pushed. On visual inspection, they noted that my roof was old (I had it scheduled for replacement) and that there were shading issues (I had tree trimming scheduled also). They did not want to install a system on an old roof or in a situation that would not be productive. They kept us informed throughout the design and installation, so I knew what to expect and approximately when. The workers were courteous, efficient and responsible (taking off shoes when they had to enter the house for ethernet connection cable). The system (Tesla solar panels) is now operational and it produced more power than consumed during the first full month. Two Power Walls were installed last week. Just to see what would happen, I put them in the "self power" mode and they have 100% supplied all energy--including AC, cooking, clothes dryer--at night while never dipping below 50% charge. This gives me confidence that I can ride through any extended outage with minimal disruption to our lifestyle. If you have good access to sun, the panels make a lot of sense from both an environmental and economic view. Power Walls (batteries) are more of a security (against outages) feature. In south Florida, we lost power for 19 days after a hurricane, so power for your refrigerator and a few fans and lights can be a big deal. Just for information, the panels will produce at 10-15 percent on a "no sun" day; so we could keep critical loads running indefinitely. If you're in the service area, check out Power Production Management. They will give you the straight story and there will be no surprises if you choose to use their services.
