05:28 Referral information for $100 off solar installation
This video is long overdue. Sorry about that! 2020 was… complicated.
So you sent approx 55,000 dollars for a system that has a 20 year lifespan and saved 2000 in a year. So it will take 25 years to get your money back by the time the system needs to be updated.
How much did it cost to install the system?
Great short, concise, to the point video 👍
A question for Elon. WHAT DID NIKOLA IN MARIBOR? 😁 HE WAS A POKER FACE, HE LOVED GAMBLING
✌️
Nice
Tesla has the worst customer service ever.
Welp. Ahat about cleaning roof costs. 2k savings – cleaning costs? And a bill gonna beeeeeee?
People should follow this method all over the world
How much did the complete installation and set up cost. If you don't mind me asking
This is one L O N G Tesla commercial!🙄
You left out the most important thing and you did not factor in that cost??? It must have cost half the national debt!! It seems that just like electric cars there are hidden cost.
Stop relying on big companies for energy, make your own .
why not just spray it with a hose?
How is it that you produced energy for Los Angeles and you still had to pay them?
Fantastic review and saved potential buyers a ton of time. 👏🏼👏🏼
wHY ARE you giving energy to the grid? Are they paying for your roof?
@Austin Flack
Was wondering how much the roof ended up costing you?
Everything you need to know except how much the roof cost. Will you actually recoup your investment over the next 25 years?
I'm confused 🤔 if you only used 30% of the power generated and the rest is send to the power grid why you have to pay anything?
32% of your roofs generated power went to your home and the rest went to the city? What was the 156 dollars for?
How much did the roof cost
I'm sorry, you ran your home for pretty much free and put the equivalent of another 2 and half homes worth of energy back into the grid and you still got charged? Why are they not paying you for the electricity you put in?
Great data. Just one more thing to be super exact. You made around 8 MWh in a year. Whats the total roof area? With that we can calculate the efficency from 1m2 of roof.
Thats sucks not really worth it
So if we take the dearest conventional roof $12k of the Teslar roof $33.7k it will take you 10.5 years to break even? Also, me not living in LA, shouldn't your power bill be zero. I didn't think they could charge you anything?
What was the cost for cleaning? Can it be walked on? If a new roof vent for an appliance is needed, who does it, Tesla, contractor?
Ok I get that, but does you giving them electricity not give you money? It does in the uk. You get paid to have them on
its a commercial
This is an ad. Fake info.
How much did the solar roof cost you?
So , after the savings how long will it take to pay for the system ?
How much were your panels? Subtract that from your electric savings.
Best video on solar I have seen. Seriously. I do have a couple of serious questions. How much did it cost? Was it subsidized and how much? If you would have put on a conventional roof and invested the rest in your 401K, which likely would have netted you more money? I’m being very serious here as I want to know if we are still in the early adoption phase where people are buying these simply for the eco benefits or if it truly is a good investment. Assume the funds are not financed in the calculation to be fair to you.
How much did the roof cost?
I think I missed that part.
How much did the solar roof cost?
how much did you pay for the roof by sq ft??
Tied to the grid…yeah no thanks and you spent your money foolishly..
You give 60%+ of your power to the grid and STILL have to pay them? Why not keep it all and f the grid?
Dont finance or take out loans for solar panels pay for them in cash. They are a depreciating asset. It takes longer than the companies estimate to make your money back. Those statistics are lies.
Well done!
How much was your monthly payment for the solar panels?
Why would you want to live in a liberal crap hole like California? ROFL!
How long will it take for you to break even with the cost
