Hello!
My home has two buildings, and last year we signed up the Tesla Solar rental program by paying $65/month for a 3.8kw system, installed on the roof of one of the building.
I am interested to DIY by either extending the current system or adding an entirely new system on my other building. Intuitively I believe by having a completely separate system on another building seems the way to go.
Ideally I would like to cover the entire roof but I would like to start small, probably just put up a few 300w panels up, but I haven't quite understand how will the new inverter connect to the existing setup? Does it automatically synchronize with the Tesla inverter as well as the gird? How will the power flow affect the existing Tesla system and the gird? I have a friend who is electrician but not specialized in Solar and I will rely on him to perform the final hook up if everything works as it should.
Does the whole thing make sense to you?
Any help would be great appreciated!
