I've been considering the the Tesla PVs and PW, but my experience with Tesla cars has made me very cautious. Tesla as a company over promises and under delivers. Tesla service frequently blames any problem on "software" as though Tesla had no control over the software.
In typical Tesla fashion the PVs and PW are promised to be a painless installation experience with efficient and reliable operation.
Various threads have referred to some real deal breakers:
- Neurio module failure bringing down the entire system with service personnel not available for 1-2 weeks.
- Over six months from order to install.
- PW output not compatible with LED lighting (my entire house has LED lighting)
PG&E has just had two monster shut downs which seems like a good test. I know most participants on this forum have already made their purchase which introduces a significant amount of "confirmation bias", but please give me your unvarnished experience.
1) Installation? Timely? Professional? Aesthetically acceptable?
2) Roof penetrations? Leaks. Stability over time in big wind, earthquakes, etc?
3) Actual output within the range that was expected when you made the commitment?
4) PW working reliably when PG&E shuts things down?
Thank you.
