I have had multiple plumbers say that even if you go out of the wall with your vent, you have to continue it up through the overhang above the roofline. Are they wrong? A video about what you did would be awesome!
Would like to hear how it holds up after 5-10yrs. Seems like a ton of connections between panels. Where there any special building requirements for the room with the batteries? Aka 2hr fire rated walls or anything special?
1970's shed roof design back in full swing, I see. Anyhow, do agree with not taking plumbing vents straight up; but in past, inspectors struggled with accepting that as everyone was used to doing it the standard way. Nice set up.
110%. I’ve tried that for the last three videos and I’ve gotten a lot more engagement. It’s almost like Google sees GPT and is like “ oh, I know you! “ 🤷
I would be interested to hear more about the benefits and drawbacks of a roof without penetrations. Would a half dozen solatubes be that much of a an energy drain to make them not worth it? Is this type of no penetrations roof nearly future proof for decades as far as roof maintenance compared to the standard?
Congratulations on eliminating all roof penetrations. It's going to help significantly in the long term. I've eliminated all roof penetrations at my house in San Diego. I was nervous about it at first, but my informal study of the Philippines where 95+% of roofs are metal, is that I haven't seen a single roof penetration there. So the US building codes and long-time practices are out of date.
How difficult was it to acquire the Tesla system (all the parts)? Many people have complained of waiting a year or more. I'm thinking about a future Arizona build.
Insane amount of connectors, which will be the reason you need troubleshooting in the first place... Is it like 4000 electrical connectors on your roof? This should become an issue when it gets a little older, it doesn't look like a good design with acceptable robustness to me.
The sunken cost cope of all these videos… it shouldn’t have a problem for 20 years- stop wasting your money people- just get normal panels for waaaaay cheaper.
Yes wall venting please Jordan!

I would love to see a video going over the whole Tesla solar roof system.
Wall venting plz.. Great vids..
its nice to have millions of $$$ nice roof, new custom home, incredible land. no next door neighbors.....
Lol
I agree with @superspeeder. Can you give us the breakdown of cost of tesla vs cost of regular solar?
Great video, can’t wait for the full review
Looks like one big solar panel, really cool!
So cool Jordan! 14kW and six powerwalls. That's a beefy system!
40kW!!! And thanks!

PV rated wire is designed for such harsh conditions
@@LifeLongLearner-om8jxI think they’re imagining the batteries spontaneously exploding 😂
IIRC the F150 EV is cheaper per KW than the tesla powerwall.

The 70’s were groovy, baby! Yeah, the vent question is definitely jurisdiction and inspector dependent
Never imagined to call an electrician for your roof
We’d like to know more…
How many kW / strings per PW3
Are all PW3 in one system
Any plans for “DC Expansion”
It would be nice if it came in colors other than black
lovely video, description is written 100% by some GPT :))

We went with a reputable Tesla Installer here in Texas - KPost . It was super easy. Less than two weeks from initial conversation to roof install.
Can we see your app showing 40 kilowatts

Beautiful build, Jordan! But…
All this fancy Tesla stuff is irrelevant without knowing how much more than a standard system it costs.
So it needed repairs after a few years? Sounds like I shouldn’t be buying that.
