i would get at least 2 power walls but it’s not my moneyThanks @daveo4EV for all the great info and details. I’m very new to the EV and solar energy game so I appreciate the background and your insights. Tesla analyzed my bills and usage and recommended the below system
9.22 kW Solar Roof
Estimated energy produced: 13,669 kWh /yr
1 Powerwall
I suppose that equates to the production of an avg of about 37kW a day. I believe that is about 110% of our estimated usage. They actually recommended 2 Powerwalls but I figured that was more of a sales pitch than being necessary. We don’t have that many outages and in the past when we have they typically are only hours not days.
I have no idea how long it will take for Tesla to get the materials and do the install but I’d guess it might be late this year or by spring of 2023….. which should also be the timeframe of getting a Taycan.![]()
30 amps and 13 kwh is pretty easy to blow through - and it will take forever to get more batteries if you decide one isn’t enough after purchase - 25 kwh and 60 amps is a more reasonable amount of backup in my opinion
