I'm hoping to get solar on the house before NEM 3.0 and the tax credit reduces to 22%
I have less than a year of energy usage in the new house but in the last few months, with this heat, I've been running the AC at "free will" more often than not. I have 1 Tesla vehicle which I charge maybe once or twice a week (whenever it hits 50% charge) and I am planning to add another EV in another 3-5 years. In the life of solar, I'm sure we will convert our gas water heater to electric. Everything else is already electric (except stove, we want to keep gas).
With that said, for the first 4 months (Jan - April) of this year, we averaged 630kWh/mo. We saw drastic increases in May (815kWh) and June (1000kWh)
Tesla's system with my $350/mo bill input generated a 9.6kW system. Is that sufficient or should I up for the next system which is 12kW. I'm thinking with both systems I'm going to go with 2 Powerwalls unless advised against. The cost difference between the two systems is about $5K for an additional 3200kWh/year
