I received PTO today. So, a little over 2 months after install.

No PTO yet because my Utility did not approve the backup switch. Utility did prematurely install a net meter. Tesla working with utility on approval. I'm producing almost 40kWh per day now with tad bit of shading in the evening time. Batteries fill up by noon and excess solar goes into topping...

Just a quick update, I did get access to my system on the tesla app back on 1/20. On 1/25 Tesla informed me that they would need to resubmit the permit. I had to resubmit an interconnect application with my utility, so still waiting on an update about that. So no inspection nor PTO. Since the...

Sorry, couldn't edit twice but here the picture of the final setup.

Panels have been commissioned and I believe I am ready for inspection now. The system is currently producing 3.8kW and the house is consuming 0.6kW. I am having to log in to the powerwall to monitor this as I still don't have that access to my app. Support tells me the techs did not register...

2 Tesla Electricians just left a few minutes ago, Christopher and Santiago from Tampa, FL did an excellent job. I will take a picture of their work tomorrow. They were here at 9am and were done by 12pm, unfortunately, we had to wait 5 hours for my utility to come back out to hook me back up to...

No, it's not Marquis but his name escapes me right now. Everything is looking good so far. Tesla is out here now finishing up the install, fingers crossed they can complete it today. My util company came out this morning around 8 to pull the meter and to drop service (they snipped the power...

Looks like this going to be a multi-day project, day 1 is complete. They spent a total of 7 hours here (arrived at 8am.) There was a crew of 8 including 1 crew lead they flew in from New Jersey. 1 power wall installer, 1 person dedicated to both solar and pw, and the rest were solar panel...

I've finally have a scheduled install date. 1/16

Just received this email. It’s official—we’re excited to begin solar panel and Powerwall installations in your area. In early December we will begin scheduling end of year installations. To secure the earliest date for your project, please complete all open items in your Tesla Account ...

Per scheduling dept, Installs in the Atlanta Georgia area will hopefully begin in late Q3 '22 - Q1 '23. If anyone else wants to call, their number is 877-525-7652, option 5.

When I got that message, my advisor sent me an email shortly after telling me know that I needed to have my roof replaced.

So they have decided to add more panels to my system, bringing it up from an 8.5 kW to 8.8kW, still with 2PW. Going to have wait for permitting again.

Had no movement on my project from before the end of the year until today. I received an email to approve my equipment location. Called in and spoke to an advisor, they said my interconnect application was just sent over to Cobb EMC last week for approval. Once Tesla gets approval, they will...

Thanks for the info all

Got my roof replaced a couple of weeks ago, now I'm waiting on Tesla. Just got off the phone with them and they say they planned on using the Florida install crew for GA installs but because of high install demand in both states, Tesla says they are going to open a warehouse in ATL and hire a...

Permits got approved today. I'm still working with a contractor to get my roof replaced, I've decided to continue with the solar panels as it's considerably cheaper even with the roof replacement.

@Fred42 Good point. I just wasn't sure if the cost of a roof tile replacement + Solar panels would equal the price of a Solar roof. I guess I'll start gathering quotes.

Well, up until the Tesla rep showed me up close pictures of my tiles I thought my roof was in pretty decent shape. There are a couple of leak spots when it rains hard but I think that is more to do with the plates around the roof vents not being secured. My memory is fuzzy but I could have...

So, I received my official roof assessment from Tesla and they say that I'll need to find a contractor to replace all shingles before they can move forward with the project. I wonder if I should just look at going with a Solar Roof instead, which is doable, but a little out of my budget. The...

Correct, my house is a 1 story 2000sqft home, I guess my pictures that I took during the self home assessment portion were not good enough. He took pictures of my meter and panel, took pictures and measurements of where the gateway and 2 power walls will be installed. He took roof and attic...

That's awesome. My site visit went ok today, they said my main panel looks good. They did note that some of asphalt singles are starting to wear (some fibers showing) and Tesla may or may not have sometime to say about that but we'll see. The guy that did my inspection came down from Raleigh...

Signed off on the interconnection agreement today. I'm eager for the site visit next week and hope things move along smoothly.

Last month I overheard a technician at the Marietta, GA shop mention they were relocating their repair shop to the Kennesaw area and they would also be opening a store where folks can take delivery. I have no details beyond that, has anyone else heard the same?

Is it really? To be clear, they're just surveying if I have the necessary equipment/space to do it. I don't even have an advisor yet (i don't think). My Installment contract did say installation will occur between 7 and 90 days from signing off on it so we'll see.

Submitted my order 8/28 (last Saturday) for 8.5kW system + 2 Powerwalls, already signed off on Loan agreement and Retail Installment Contract. Cobb EMC is my utility. They've scheduled a Site Visit for 9/15 and hope it goes well.

I think I'm leaning that way. Received my second quote from a different electrician with the same scope and they want $5,500. This electrician asked if I wanted a permit which I thought was a given but he mentioned that it wasn't illegal if I didn't get one and that it could potentially add an...

One, for now atleast. But you're right, who knows what the future brings. Thanks all.

Another thought, the quote is for a 100amp 120/240 panel. If I were to put the charger on the new panel, would I still not have enough to support the load of 2 powerwalls? The only other things needing power in that garage are lights and 2 garage door openers. I could probably just simply...

Not sure how to edit, but in regards to the picture, the idea would be to run a new cable from the main panel, through my attic, and out the backyard to the detached garage. The more I am thinking about this the price I was quoted doesn't seem too bad, lol

So I spent a few minutes digging a 1 ft trench outside the detached garage to find that it does not exist (as far as I could tell. heh). I did a peak in the attic of the garage to see the wire (in its outer sheath) going over the door, down the side of the door, and into the concrete slab of...

Hey folks, I've recently put in an order for an 8.5kW 2PW system and a site visit is scheduled 2 weeks from now. I've got a detached garage with an old subpanel where I currently charge my Model Y with a pre-existing NEMA 6-20 outlet. I'd like to replace that outlet with a NEMA 14-50 and also...
