![]() One Powerwall costs $10,500, though Tesla appears to be offering a discount if you buy more than one. The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory reports the national median-size solar array is 7 kilowatts. If you remove the suggested Powerwall batteries, the estimates come to $2.10 per watt for each size. With one Powerwall and the federal tax credit ( 30% of the cost if you install through 2031), Tesla estimates that installations range in cost from $4.29 per watt for a 4.8-kilowatt system to $3.48 per watt for 7.6 kilowatts and $2.70 per watt for 17.6 kilowatts. Tesla's online estimates typically come in below that mark, unless you include back up batteries. ![]() Larger systems will tend to be cheaper per watt than smaller systems. A Wood Mackenzie analysis determined that an 8-kilowatt solar installation in 2022 cost $2.99 per watt on average. Price, because it's hard to generalize and compare across companies, doesn't factor into the score we give solar companies, but it's an obvious consideration when you're shopping for solar panels. It's unclear if Tesla still operates in house teams, but subcontractors are becoming more common. ![]() It's been reported that Tesla has increased the use of subcontractors and pulled back on its own installation teams. These are fairly average for the industry, but lag behind the leaders. Tesla also offers a 10-year warranty on the workmanship of the installation and a 10-year warranty for the weatherization of your roof. The Powerwall's warranty guarantees that the battery will hold at least 70% of its rated capacity after 10 years. That's roughly in line with other major companies. Tesla's warranty says your panels are guaranteed to work at 85% capacity after 25 years or it will replace them. It comes with a 12-and-a-half-year warranty. That puts it near the top end of what's typical. Tesla's solar inverter operates at 97.5% or 98% efficiency, according to the company. There’s a lot more to it than what immediately hits the eye.The final bit of hardware is the Tesla solar inverter, which converts the direct current electricity your panels generate into alternating current that your house can use. In many ways, Jenner’s approach to style is much like her David Koma dress. Williams at Givenchy, the star paid homage to Hepburn’s star-turn role in My Fair Lady. And for her 2021 Met Gala look, crafted by Matthew M. The model has repeatedly referenced the late icon through her fashion, strolling around Paris in a little black dress, head scarf, and big sunglasses in March. That the dress comes with a bit of Audrey Hepburn-flavor should come as no surprise to true Jenner fans. But her look is actually a shoulderless dress, with masterfully cut mesh. At first glance, it seems as if she is wearing a corset or Skims-esque bodysuit with pasties. With her latest nude-but-not look, the star harnesses the power of illusion. For her Met Gala after-party look, Jenner donned a sheer dress and exposed underwear worn over the ensemble. The star, like numerous other celebrities, has been on a bit of exhibitionist streak as of late. ![]() The mish-mash of aesthetics makes perfect sense for Jenner, who often alternates seamlessly between understated minimalism and bold of-the-moment dressing. And víola! The peak 2023 “naked dressing” trend meets Audrey Hepburn circa 1961. While the pasties were certainly eye-catching, the most unexpected part of the outfit was the long modish scarf around Jenner’s neck. ![]() The supermodel wore a David Koma dress, pulled from the British designer’s fall 2023 collection, that features illusion mesh on its upper-half and playful red flowers smack-dab in a prime (and oft-controversial) anatomical position. Kendall Jenner takes naked dressing into brave new territory with her latest outfit. ![]()
