Anyone done a Tesla solar roof system with batteries to go off grid? Say 2500 sq ft with propane and a generator as backup?

For a client.  Asking more along the lines of performance of the system and service.

Any recommendations in Austin?

 

I have done Tesla batteries including a fire safe storage room etc; and the chargers work great, often better than GM to date.  GM can tend to overdraw and trip breakers if not set up correctly.

*excludes my opinions of the ceo asshole.

No Tesla experience but I'm an Enphase slut. Nothing but great experience with it. I presume they're going with Generac for the propane generator?

Is there a book version of that story?  Is it available used?

I am sitting in a Barnes and Noble reading this in between breaks of reading an actual book so this hits close to home.

The disappearance of Half Price Books is one of the things I really lament. I used to go to the one by campus once a week with my buddy and pick up old editions for like a buck apiece. And when older, I'd often go browse on Sunday Mornings. 

I was just at one last weekend. The one near campus is no longer there, which is where I discovered Kerouac. I picked up a copy of Dharma Bums for like $2 at the Half-Price books near campus, then went on a Kerouac and Hunter S. Thompson binge in the 90's. While they still exist, you can't buy books for a couple books anymore, they quit selling the older books with the old marked prices a long time ago.

Tesla recalls battery systems due to overheating: ‘Can cause death’

NEW YORK (PIX11) — Tesla is recalling thousands of battery systems due to potential failure, which could lead to overheating, smoke, and flames that may cause death, according to the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Over 10,000 Tesla Powerwall 2 units, a battery system used for residential or light commercial purposes, are being recalled after 22 reports of overheating. The recall was announced on Thursday on the CPSC website.

Timely question as this recall occurred yesterday.
