Why Is Solar So Expensive in the U.S.? Permitting
I got a couple of quotes for an installation in late 2019, balked, and to try to install and permit the panels myself. I'd never tried a "physical side project" or home-improvement project, but I found it surprisingly straight-forward.
I got a copy of my friend's permit application from a professional installation, learned a bit about the equipment and tools needed, started a spreadsheet of parts, and modified my "permit template" with details about my installation and house. My permit application was stamped on my first try (Manhattan Beach in LA County), so I placed my order.
It was a little tricky to get all my supplies on the roof of my two-story house. I settled on carrying things up the stairs, putting them on a balcony, and pulling them up a ramp I built out of some cheap wood. See pics here [1].
I probably went overboard on quality of parts to compensate for inexperience and not knowing which corners it's OK to cut, but my final cost ended up at $1.64/watt, including about $1000 for my electrician to pull some copper, ground everything, and connect to my panel.

Solar-only Dashboard
Looks like grafana dashboard probably running in a raspberry pi or some other server.

Tesla Inverter - Browser Login Question
I guess this means that I cannot use the Powerwall-Dashboard - https://github.com/jasonacox/Powerwall-Dashboard - since it uses the /api directory.

What’s happening to my system?
This could also be planned (just bad to see it during high solar production). My system does a daily 7am MCI reset (5-15m) that stops solar production (this is reported by many others so it appears to be designed by Tesla): https://github.com/jasonacox/Powerwall-Dashboard/assets/836718/2cf1775a-e748-4680-9b0d-3d3ffbbc332a

System serviced after 1 year post-PTO, positive experience
Sure! It takes some set up, using a home server, but you can find out more here.

My System
It’s not really an app. It’s open source software that talks directly with the backup gateway. https://github.com/jasonacox/Powerwall-Dashboard

Tesla solar generation summary
If you’re doing just pypowerwall, you’ll need to store the reading at a moment in time, then calculate the delta at the same time the next day. If you go for the whole powerwall-dashboard stack the grafana dashboard has widgets that show you that delta. Is that sufficient for your needs? I find the grafana time series display to be quite informative.

pwmon.io - Power Monitor using the Tesla Solar API
pwmon.io was not designed to be self-hosted. Note that your API tokens are not stored on the servers, but if you really prefer to run a dashboard locally I'd recommend Powerwall-Dashboard.
- Inverters both drop every day - same time. Any thoughts? Panel positioning?
- Poor Performance 6.1 kWh System
- Need advice on underperforming Tesla system
What are some alternatives?
