Our First Days with a Tesla Solar Roof

We're getting a Tesla Solar Glass Roof: Order, Pricing, Inspection, Permits, Install
Hey, I'm Sven from This Guy Edits, a YT channel with over 350K subs. I've recently become a Tesla fan boy and want to document my experience with the Tesla Solar Glass Roof as it is being installed on my house.
It's been years in the making and this version three roof is supposed to be finally ready for prime-time. Generally, I try not to be an early adopter, and would rather like to see proof of concept first. But since the Federal Tax Credit is about to run out, I decided to take the plunge now and see if it works out.
How long will the process take? Will there be any problems along the way? Will it perform? These are all question I'm eager to share with you and finally get to the answer: Was it worth it? So if you're into that kind of stuff, subscribe. I'll post update videos as the project unfolds.

This panel can put out close to 100 watts kzbin.infoUgkxOqI2yqX0XVrhR2BMJciTWrHJpG8FhJyg when positioned in the appropriate southernly direction, tilted to the optimal angle for your latitude/date, and connected to a higher capacity device than a 500. The built in kickstand angle is a fixed at 50 degrees. Up to 20% more power can be output by selecting the actual date and latitude optimal angle.The 500 will only input 3.5A maximum at 18 volts for 63 watts. Some of the excess power from the panel can be fed into a USB battery bank, charged directly from the panel while also charging a 500. This will allow you to harvest as much as 63 + 15 = 78 watts.If this panel is used to charge a larger device, such as the power station, then its full output potential can be realized.

[@HitechProductions]

I know we are at different latitudes and have different angles for our roofs, but I have a better angle to the sun in the winter than summer, but obviously far less time. My peak production is slightly higher in winter, but overall production is, again obviously, better in summer. Just as a simple comparison, I have a 3kw system. On Dec 29, 2020 (a mostly sunny day) my peak was 2.048 kW, with an overall production of 10.995 kWh. On Jul 8, 2019 my peak was 2.336 kW, with an overall production of 18.906 kWh.

[@ThisGuysTesla]

That's good to know. My system is projected to produce 9500 kWh for the year. Once we remodel the garage we should more than double that, since I asked the architect to optimize the roof towards the South with a slightly steeper pitch.

[@HitechProductions]

@@ThisGuysTesla Angle makes a real difference. And you are at a better latitude for solar than I am to begin with. I am averaging about 5 mWh for the year without an optimal angle at all. I would expect you to exceed that for each 3 kW of solar system you have (I don't remember what the total is expected to be). BTW, I love watching these.

[@marksaake]

I do have to say the output is a bit disappointing for the solar panels. I'm here in the Bay Area and on the 21st my traditional solar system (8.1kw) produced 33.4kWh. So if yours is a 7.8kw system and only producing 14.6kWh they aren't very efficient. Do you think that is because so much is non-south facing? Good news it that was the shortest day, so it's all uphill from here! Also, are you going to be applying for the SGiP rebate on your batteries?

[@ThisGuysTesla]

That's good to know. A good 35-40% of my tiles are facing to the North plus your panel efficiency rating could be higher. Do you know your projected yearly output for your system? Mine comes in at 9500kwH.

[@marksaake]

@@ThisGuysTesla PVwatts showed I'd have a yearly output of about 14.3MWh and I just crossed the 1 year mark and it as 14.5MWh, so pretty close (24 panels, 330w each, 186 degrees south) Sounds like it may be the percent of the tiles on the north side of your house. When you get that garage done, since it is south facing, you'll be much better off. Are you in PGE country, or SCE? The PGE peak rates are so late in the day, that if anything to the WNW is really good for net-metering offsets.

You can just start with one powerwall. Just be aware that you may not be able to power your entire home off a single powerwall in the event of a blackout as you can only draw a certain amount of kw at a time. What I have heard is that Tesla will wire the single powerwall in such a way that only the most important circuits will be powered and other circuits will go dark during an outage.
