Might be interested, where are you located? Edit: sorry, just noticed you were in Ohio. Probably not worth it to ship to Los Angeles.

Yes, I always assumed that the PV system would charge a battery, that would then power the inverter. I have enjoyed reading the discussion so far. Maybe I will try a 120v system first, as it seems less costly, and could be repurposed for home power. I could always upgrade to 220 later, I suppose.

Yep. It’s a question of whether or not the efficiency is worth it. I have charged the Tesla with my Delta 1300, just to see if I could, but I wouldn't want to do it on the regular. Right now, I am leaning towards a 120v milk crate or hand truck system, as it would allow me to use it in the...

I have had my Tesla for a couple of years. For the first six months I home charged via a 110v extension cord, which was fine, but not as efficient as 220v. So eventually I installed a 220v Tesla home charging station. FYI, Tesla only does DC charging at their big Supercharger stations. I have...

I have been thinking of the same thing. Unfortunately, getting enough wattage to properly charge a Tesla on 220 volts would require a huge number panels, more than could fit on most roofs. Powerwall with solar would be the cleanest install, but it looks like they are sold out. for the rest of...
