Building a new certified passive house in Efland North Carolina. I am looking at options for solar+batteries, grid tied system.
Home will be 100% electric. Currently with 1 EV, future state 2 EV's. Estimated yearly utilization will be ~15k kWh with both EV's. Hard to completely iron down with the house not yet built.
Southern Energy Management quoted me an 8kW system+2 Powerwall+ batteries for $50k. Tesla quoted 14kW system+2 Powerwall+ batteries for $49k. I am concerned 1 about those prices, but 2 about future expandability and being locked to Tesla(awful customer service) or Southern Energy(unknown by me) for future expansion needs.
Looking for suggestions from this group on alternative options for:
1. Better pricing options
2. Better equipment options
3. Easier solar AND battery expandability
A system like the following would be ideal, but I am not sure where to find an installer for such a system: https://signaturesolar.com/complete...powerwall-14-000-watts-of-solar-pv-kit-e0005/
