So it appears Tesla found a bug in their app after watching this video that accidentally counted all production and usage totals as DOUBLE their actual numbers. Doesn't affect my payback timeline calculations, but it does make more sense that I was seeing ~4000kWh of production in a month, not 8000 🤓

I’m a solar representative in Texas, I’ve been in solar Sales for 8 years now and this has to be one of the best explanation and representations of how solar and Net Metering works. Seriously, Marques has explained this flawlessly.

I've been working in the solar industry for over 14 years and this is hands-down one of the best videos out there explaining solar, batteries, and home energy use. Such a great resource for the public - thank you!

This is such a great example of how you can create a straight forward, no BS video without all the flashiness and still be engaging. Refreshing

You have used this system for 4 years. It might be time to re-visit this.

The problem with this cost is it works better in areas where electric costs are high and you don't use gas. My bill for electric is about $120 a month, so if I had to pay $120,000, it would take me over 83 years to break even lol! Solar needs to be a LOT cheaper for people to take it seriously.
