Nice to see this bumped as we’re now reconsidering solar at home again.
Covid and all stopped that initially, but we’re looking at like a 8Wp system and batteries if possible. I thought I read SGIP for batteries is only allowed for a solar panel install and not afterwards.
Already have 1 EV, plan to get another EV as the next vehicle and timing depends on what new EVs come out.
There is NO financial calculation I’ve seen that ever makes home batteries make sense, but for me, I suppose with yearly fire dangers -> power cuts (even in Texas which laughed at CA with our rolling blackouts and has to do it now), I suppose it’s simply a ‘luxury’ I like/want. That and of course, getting off SDG&E power from 4-9pm and just use batteries completely overnight.
The new Ford F150 Lightning can do Vehicle to Home eventually and many vehicles may have this, but that means you lose car power if you needed to drive and no idea how long that will take to come out.
Anyone use/researched Sonnen batteries vs. Tesla Powerwalls?
Reading more and with NEM3.0 proposed in CA now, we may just do solar and delay batteries if the cost is too high and instead, opt for Vehicle to Home eventually.
