Tesla Solar in Houston & Surrounding Area’s

[phsoccer]

My daughter was out of power for 4 days near the Cyprus area and she would like something to get through these constant power outages. She is not ready to go solar, but I told her should could probably get Powerwalls and charge them at night on a free night plan. How easy it this?

Go ecoflow or something similar. A stackable battery LFP

I have two Powerwalls for backup only. No solar. They top off twice per 24 hrs for a short time. If there’s an outage the Powerwalls give me power using about 2% per hour (no AC). With this last outage of about 8 hours it didn’t take much to charge them back up. Unless she intends to do the full “battery during the day, charge at night” scenario I don’t see the need to change plans. But then, being with the same company for 10 years I’m only paying 9c per kWh anyway.

For $5k you can get a nice 6-8kWh storage system. Perfect for an apartment. Or a prepper.

I would go pro. Biggest system. She can add panels if need be.

Thanks, I was thinking about this, so I’ll mention it to her. I’m thinking about this for my detached garage with a small set of solar panels since I don’t have much unshaded roof.

Tax Credit is 4kWh or more.

I think those ecoflows are nice, but be cautious of expectations... it's not going be rough trying to start 3-4 ton AC units that are common here in H-Town. The thing I like about Powerwalls and whole home setups is that you don't have to change how you choose to operate when there's an outage. You have to pay for it of course.

It's actually just 3kWh.

Nice.
Definitely not a competitor to Tesla and Powerwall. Ecoflow is for consumers that want a smaller off grid solution. For consumers that are not ready to spend $5,000 or more on storage. I’m using my Ecoflow Delta 2 max for my storage shed.
