I really tried to set up
I really tried to set up solar power through Tesla. First with their announced subscription service, and then with a full solar installation, but it didn't work out. I think that their subscription service was based on installations where power use was lower than electricity production, and probably had some back end deal with local power companies for subsidies. The hidden costs for roof repair ($8500 for roof paper replacement) was unrealistic and a deal killer for me. I also looked into Tesla's full solar roof option, but after 6 months of working with Tesla, they were going to have to start from scratch with the solar tiles, so the deal died. Plus there were changes in Tesla roof tile installation costs that were scary. There is room for great growth in solar installations, but my experience with Tesla was not positive. Even though I very much wanted it to work out.
