[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]A panel might charge an iPhone. If you buy 25k in panels plus 3k battery, then you can use solar for back up power.[/quote] It's actually the opposite situation. The powerwall costs more than the panels (in our case the powerwall is 1.5 times the price of the solar panels). But maybe you are buying a small battery? Signed, PP who is about to get both solar panels and the powerwall (and we are covering a 2400 sq. ft. house to 112% of our electricity needs with 2 people in the house right now). [/quote] How much is your powerwall going to cost you? Interested down the road in adding one. I have 56 solar panels on my barn, so likely a bigger system than yours, and we are electricity-neutral on an annual basis. (Powers a 4K sf house, 2 barns, 2 outbuildings, and 10 heated livestock watering systems). keep in mind it is going to be cyclical. Winter our production goes down significantly, which is expected.[/quote]
