Some of you may be aware of a well known YouTuber, Marques Brownlee. He purchased the Tesla roof and battery and has a video on his experience, which is mostly positive but not all. It’s a very expensive system but he reports that it works well generally, obviously especially in summer and not so much in the winter. Interesting video if anyone looks for it. His house is in New Jersey for reference regarding latitude and sun exposure.
I don’t have a battery and I’ve wondered if a battery would reduce the flows in and out of the grid.
