I think what the homeowner said regarding energy awareness is key. Does not matter if you have the solar roof or not, knowing how much electricity you use is crucial.

[@pioneer7777777]

Installing a Sense is an easy way to do this.

[@alexandruilea915]

Knowing what and how much energy a device uses is useless unless you produce the energy yourself or have different prices at different times as you can't say you'll save energy by not cooking in the evening but in the middle of the day. You may save money but not energy from the grid.

[@electronicstv5884]

@@alexandruilea915 It's not about when to do things, more if you are using an electrical appliance or not...

[@jamesengland7461]

That's just a form of range anxiety, and is not crucial.

[@FlavorOfTheMonthChannel]

I'm a huge fan of this setup and technology, but how is it crucial to monitor your energy usage? I'm sure there are some people who waste a lot of electricity and could improve, but generally speaking there's not a whole lot you can adjust. If you have a smart thermostat and efficient appliances, then there's not much else to do. I've watched my energy consumption and it's kind of a non-actionable metric other than just switching appliances. For example, I need to use my laundry machine and dishwasher, and I need to keep the lights on when I'm working on something. I don't see how you can really make any noticeable impact on these essential things.

[@Pikminiman]

I've had an unprecedented (for me) three electricity blackouts so far this month. My indoor lights flicker for about half a second before the Powerwalls kick in, and it's as if nothing happened. In most cases, I only know about the power outages because I can see a list of them, and their durations, in the Tesla app.

Installed a 12kw solar panel system on our primary home in AZ back in 2016 (from Solar City which became Tesla). It paid for itself in Q4 of 2022 (a year ago) still have 23 years of a full warranty on the solar panel system. Figure that during those next 23 years it should save us about $70k in electricity. Powers a 4k sq ft home where it can get to 115 degrees out in summer but keep it at 72 degrees indoors year-round. Also now powers a Tesla Model Y LR (74kw battery for 330 miles of range, 7-seater). Planning to add another 12kw system on guest wing next year with batteries (possibly for a VPP) mainly for an eventual cybertruck and for some backyard development.

[@USNEM]

Do you have shingles? How much to remove all panels and reroof?

[@MD-gt6xw]

@@USNEM They are solar panels (not the singles). The house was built in 2006 but a freak 1 in 1000 year storm hit in 2015 (huge hail stones) and destroyed all the roofs in our neighborhood. Insurance covered re-roofing our house after the storm so the roof is still fairly new (from 2015). Tesla charges $400 to remove the 48 solar panels and put them on a new home if we want them moved to another property we own but for now happy to have them on the main home. The roof is a flat roof (elastomer) with parapets so neighbors can't see the panels and roof is pretty large as it also encompasses a 4 car garage so roof space is about 5000 sq feet and can accommodate more panels easily.

Here in the UK there are literally thousands of new houses being built every year, yet hardly ANY come with solar. There's massive ( by UK standards ) warehousing, again hardly ANY have solar roofs. In the next breath, we're being told hundreds of acres of land are being taken over by solar farms. How hard can it be for those in power to see the logic in putting solar on roof space and NOT take up farming land.

I called the 3rd party referred on the Tesla website. They recommended not using the solar roof, and go for solar panels. They also recommended “cheaper options” than powerwalls, which I found hilarious as Tesla referred me to them. I really wanted solar tiles, so I decided to not proceed forward. I think something is broken in how they scale their business, at least in the Pacific Northwest.

I actually think that if your solar roof provides more than enough energy for your needs then you don’t need to be so energy-aware of how much everything is using. If I’m paying for the electricity then I don’t want to waste it but if it’s essentially free, I’m much more likely to leave lights on etc because it won’t cost any more.

[@ReiujiUtsuhoOkuu]

Depending on where you live, energy companies can force a max number of solar panels you can have depending on past usage calculations, which may not be sufficient. A “whole-roof-replacement” is treated differently than a “roof-addition” legally so they would have no say if you do the whole roof

[@johnp.weiksnar6861]

@@ReiujiUtsuhoOkuu you're right, "your mileage may vary" depending on where you are, but when I ordered Tesla Solar Roof, the local utility mandated it have no more capacity than 110% of my monthly usage. That meant Tesla would spec dummy tiles on parts of the roof! The shingles would look almost identical, but generate no power. Time to take up pottery and put in a pool heater or two. . . . 😀

I just got a quote for a solar roof in Greensboro N.C. for a 10kw system on 4200 sq feet. It was just over 300k. Almost the cost of my house. Then they tried to sell me on solar panels for 17k, and they told me they don't do roofs, which made me suspicious. A quote from a separate company for a roof was 19k. So 26k vs. 300k. I think Tesla needs to be more selective on who they're subcontracting out because I don't think they really want to install their product and giving a way higher cost than it should be.

[@drunk_astronomy]

not for Tesla their dollar per watt installation price is ridiculous. Does makes the house look good but these systems will never pay for themselves. I install solar for a living fyi. their batteries are also expensive. I can get other batteries at half the price that do more.

[@sponge9896]

​@@drunk_astronomy Being an early adopter costs more, always has. And saying it'll "never" pay off is plain disingenuous. Additionally when choosing a solarpanel solution its not just about dollars per watt; it's like picking a laptop over a desktop, convenience matters. When picking a car, what factors do you consider? Estetics perhaps, or maybe even features smart features.

[@drunk_astronomy]

@@sponge9896 not trying to pick a fight or go on a rant, but I install solar for a living and yes, how much it cost is a very very very important factor. The only reason why I would even consider doing something similar to a Tesla roof is because of homeowner associations that restrict standard panels. To be honest with you, I don’t believe solar belongs on rooftops. people don’t consider the idea that when after a bad hailstorm insurance companies will pay to take the system down and replace your roof but they will not compensate you for putting the system back up. Some people pay as high as $3,000 to $8000 for a simple 6000 W array the price depends on whether it’s a one or second-story roof install, etc. Hell, dude, I could even tell you the type of wafers they’re using. they use Panasonic HIT cells (good choice), formally Sanyo products until Panasonic bought them out. I even own a old Sanyo panel with those exact wafers and it runs my little observatory at my brothers house. The reason why they use that type of wafer is because it’s a mono silicate wafer with a thin film coating, allowing it to produce a higher power curve at high temperatures, because when when you flush mount a solar panel and they don’t cool very well, because air cannot get under them. So I’m not knocking technology. There’s just better ways to do it. FYI just to give you an idea of what I’m talking about most recent client got a 10,000 W system with a 12,000 W inverter in a 30kWh battery pack installed for $32,500. Trust me that’s very cheap. The other local bigwig company in the state of Michigan quoted her using Tesla equipment quoted her $80,000. probably the closest bid to mine was $65,000. She could not believe how little I charged the only reason why I can charge is little as I do, is I do everything by myself and I’m a bit of a pirate. RRR!!! so that’s what I meant by my comment I don’t want Tesla gobbling up all of the incentives because they’ve tricked the world that they’re the only option when I or anyone for that matter can put up no joke four to five times more solar for the same dollar. also, their systems under perform compared to traditional set ups. I’ve seen the data to prove it. Sorry for the long explanation, but I don’t like misinformation floating around in the universe.
