I just purchased a house and am contemplating a Tesla solar installation with Powerwalls. So of course I have some questions.
The house faces south, less than ten degrees off from true south. The main roof on the south side is 58 feet long, plenty of room for panels. Power comes into the house at the north-west corner, with the panel in that corner of the basement. The garage, where I hope the Powerwalls would be, is at the opposite end of the house, 74 feet from the power entrance. Where would the inverter be located in such an installation?
Does it pose any challenges if the Powerwalls are in the garage, 74 feet and more from the panel and meter? I guess I also should ask... Do Powerwalls ever get installed in a basement? (I hate that idea, but there is room there, and and a bilco door for direct access.)
(For the curious, the location is Connecticut, and the power company is Eversource.)
Thanks!
