Hello Tesla world,
I'm a new member and a reservation holder for a Model S.
I'm investigating solar panels for my house and have received 4 quotes (was going to go with 3 but then found out about Elon's involvement with Solar City...) for different systems.
Only one of them has mentioned micro-converters, the other 3 are using "large" DC-to-AC converters next to my electrical box. Are micro-converters ready for prime-time? Are they more expensive/less efficient?
I don't have all 4 quotes in front of my yet (the last guy just left my house a few hours ago) but already am having trouble comparing apples and oranges. With all the incentives in place (Federal and Mass.) this seems like the time to do it.
I'd love to hear from other members who have gone solar recently.
Thanks,
/Ed
