How often do we compliment, thank or even acknowledge our public utilities? This is a rave review for the Los Angeles Department of Water & Power and their Solar Team!
Today I received PTO — “Permission to Operate” — from LADWP to be able to activate my new Tesla Solar Roof and connect it to our power grid!
I have a new “Net Meter” — one that can go forwards or backwards depending upon how much solar energy my roof is generating at a given moment. As they were installing my new meter, Janice and her friendly LADWP colleague gave me a lesson in Kilowatts and how electricity use is measured.
In reading up on the new technology of the Tesla Solar Roof, I read horror stories of other homeowners whose roofs were finished for MONTHS before the bureaucracy of their local utility allowed them to flip the switch. Fortunately, LADWP activates our service at the same time they install the new digital meter. Thank you!
