I mean—I live in the Oakland Hills myself. Nobody out here would be able to get solar. Our roofs/land is covered in trees.
Also at 15k for a powerwall, it'd make more sense just to get a hotel for these blackouts.
- toomuchtodo 7y agoDepends on how long the blackouts are for and how frequent they are. The longer they go on, the more economic sense it makes. Also, a Powerwall is about $7k + install, not $15k. After the tax credit, that’s about $50/month over 10 years (more if you buy two Powerwalls instead of course). $600/year is almost what you’d approach spending a few nights a year in a hotel without any of the hassle.
- dickeytk 7y agoFair enough, the website defaults to 2 powerwalls for some reason. I wish I could get solar. My family and I will likely just be sitting around in the dark for a couple days.
