Never worth it to install solar or batteries unless the utilities work with you and buy your excess power otherwise it will never pay for itself before it is useless...
Would PW 3 provide uninterrupted service if the main power goes down? We don't have solar roof but are getting a CT. We currently have a refreshed MS and a changer. Do we need additional connection to hookup CT to use it as a giant battery, if needed? How much does a PW3 and all the installation cost? Thank you.
1) yes it can power your home during an outage, assuming usage vs storage capacity 2) you are not suggested to charge a vehicle from your battery, and it really depends on your location/permits 3) depending on location, it’s around 10K for a battery. I got two batteries for a little more than 20K not including tax credits 30%
It maintains your house lights range refrigerator, hot water tank the first power walls. It came out. Will only do that for about four hours per power wall if you were all electric. This new one sounds like it can run you for about eight hours. But yeah, your house is AC there’s an inverter,
The previous generation of Tesla batteries had the Powerwall+, which essentially bundled a Powerwall 2 and a Tesla inverter to provide the ability to land a solar system in the device, removing the need for another third-party solar inverter, and bolstering the output and capacity of the battery. Tesla made the Powerwall 3 with the inverter built into the device to accomplish what the Powerwall+ could do in a sleeker and superior fashion.
Hopefully this thing will become the de-facto industry standard and henceforth the other guys will offer clones with basically the same spec. When these other guys do that, hopefully prices will drop, like we so badly need.
The Tesla Powerwall 3 is capable of AC Coupled integration, so even if you already have an inverter for your solar system, you will still be able to add a Powerwall 3 to create a battery + solar backup system!
I have a Powerwall 2 but would never buy another Tesla product. When Musk moved to Texas he dropped the facade and revealed he’s just another as--- plutocrat. And since he suddenly fired the supercharging staff for his flagship vehicles with no notice, I don’t see him as anymore reliable as a battery vendor. He’d have no qualms about bricking the Powerwalls on a whim.
I'm in Australia, have solar, a Tesla powerwall 2, and technically, I'm still a ways behind financially, BUT... I'm the only one in my street with power when there is a blackout. I'm the only one not paying peak power rates between 3pm and 11pm, and, I can export power during those peak hours, maximising my ROI. And, best of all, I don't have to draw power from the grid during those hours, thereby reducing pollution. I still do use TINY amounts of grid power on the odd occasion though, because I live in a small house with a small roof. So, is the Powerwall worth it? You betcha.
When you said the battery 🔋 should be used when the grid is down I think you can use it even if it the grid Not down The battery will be charged in the daily basis when the conception is low inside the house so instead of pulling at night from the grid you can pull from the battery 🔋 itself and that will put you as off the grid Check with Tesla new updates in their batteries -Hemza Tefili
M supplier, Eversource, charges a Customer Distribution Charge of $9.85 whenever I make more solar energy than I need. My bill for April and May of 2023 was $0. They gave me $130 credit for April and $270 credit for May.
With NETTING TARIFF, does my extra solar produced electricity (kWh) get stored at Eversource at the same rate, for example, my extra electricity get purchased by Eversource for $0.22 and then if I need it, I buy it back for $0.22? Also, do I get $0.0318 for every kWh I send to the grid as extra PURA incentive?
Did you find the answer for this? I have been told that that Eversource pays much less when you use than you send back. For example, when you purchase from eversource it will be $0.22, but when you send back you will receive credits only for $0.15. Is it true?
@@nitishpatidar4811 You will receive credit to use until March 30. If you still have credit left over after March 30, Eversource pays you $0.0318 for every kWh. They send you a check. Don't know if they increased the purchase price, but the 2022 buy price was $0.0318 kWh.
Did I make a mistake with not ordering the Tesla Powerwall to take advantage of all the incentives if I use 22,000 kWh per year and solar panels only producing 12,000 kWh per year?
I had Tesla install a 14.4 kW solar panel system on my house, with no Tesla powerwall, currently waiting for inspection and PTO. I use geothermal heat pump (2 wells in ground) for heating and cooling. I have a heat pump water heater and heat pump pool heater. In total, I use 22,000 kWh per year without any fossil fuel, where my solar panel system is estimated to produce about 12,000 kWh, a bit over half of what I need for the entire year. There will be months during spring and fall (roughly 4 months) where I don't use heating or cooling, so I will be producing more electricity that I will be sending to the Eversource grid. My questions is, when it came to NET METERING, I ended up choosing NETTING TARIFF. I thought that the BUY ALL TARIFF price of $0.2943/kWh is fixed for 20 years and if the electricity price goes up above that rate, I will be selling my solar panel electricity at a lower rate then I am buying it from Eversource. Just want to make sure I made the right decision. Please let me know what your thoughts are. Thanks
@@RealGreenPowerEnergy thank you, just had the meters installed today, waiting for PTO, Eversource installed the meters 2 days after inspection, which is great
Would you recommend the 2021 NEM over the 2022 NEM for a 1 family home who’s looking into getting a backup battery? I’m all about the 1 for 1, but if I can get more $ in the summer, and spend less $ in the winter.. I might be able to do some cash out. But there’s like no guarantee that that’s even the case, especially with how rates are rapidly changing here in CT
Hi Luis, at this point it looks like you would be entering into the Netting Tariff for 2022. Somethings have change since I made this video. The new Net Metering program will also include a $31 energy credit per 1,000 kWhrs of production. So I say the new program is much better! This is Andrew, the one in the video. Thanks for watching and asking your question.
So I am guessing you are using power optimizers on each panel. Generally speaking, when do you see a centralized inverter architecture with power optimizers vs a decentralized (micro-inverter) architecture?
Hi Rob, on this system, the central inverter you see is part of a SolarEdge power optimizer system. We offer both products. SolarEdge is a touch more efficient than Enphase micro-inverters but micro-inverters do have the advantage of being completely independent from a main point of failure.
Hi Rob, this is Andrew Contrino writing you from Green Power Energy. I too have a steep roof and am in the process of installing Green Power Energy. It is not an operational issue. As for your solar production question, it depends on what direction the roof is facing, but generally, no, it is not going to be an issue. The ideal pitch in New Jersey for example is facing 180 degrees south at a 38 degree pitch. You should be fine with production, and your roof pitch and direction are all factored into your estimate with our company. Give us your info at solar@greenpowerenergy.com, we'll take a look! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
Hi Michael, thanks for asking the question. I believe the only suitable configuration is using their PWRcell solar inverter with the battery. You can get a quote anytime by emailing in to solar@greenpowerenergy.com or visiting our website. Thanks again for watching our video. -Andrew
You can set up your SREC account on www.pjm-eis.com/getting-started/homeowners. Green Power Energy only offers this for our own customers at this time.
I was very pleased with the quality and professionalism that everyone at Greenpower had putting my $65,000 system in. Plus they were just down to earth and honest about everything I asked heck I'm still bothering them with questions 1 1/2 years later and they are still happy to help. Thanks Greenpower.
