Adding Powerwall Batteries to Existing Solar

Earlier this year, Tesla stopped selling Powerwall batteries standalone... they currently only sell them to new solar customers.

We wanted to add storage to our home but we already have solar, so this was really disappointing to hear.

On a whim, I called SunPower, the company that installed our solar panels, and they told me that resellers/installers like them DO have access to batteries. So we were able to order our Powerwall batteries last month!

It's not all good news... the current estimate is 12-18 months(!) until they arrive. But at least it's in progress! More on our battery learnings in future posts.
