I've been looking at solar power options for my home and like the thought of an add-on battery system. The Tesla Powerwall has caught my eye.
I live in far west Texas, where we get 360+ days of sunshine, but none of the battery systems claim to be off grid solutions as they provide just a few hours of whole home back up. Recent changes in how our local electric company bills solar customers has me scratching my head a bit and concerned that additional changes will hurt my payoff timeline.
I'm not seeing a lot of reviews of the Tesla system or some of it's more common competitors like the LG RESU. I do see that Home Depot and Telsa have partnered for installation.
Any advice on this system specifically or home solar in general would be appreciated. I'm not sure that a battery back up is desirable or the timing is right yet, but it seems that technology is close.
Suffer Well.
