Heck of a Mini Split Deal

Good plan, Cow. I have solar and mini splits, and I agree that adding a Tesla or similar battery would create a good total solution in general. But you might want to consider the issue of snow on solar panels. Snow slides off my panels in 2-3 days (much faster than asphalt roof). I think this should be acceptable for your situation, as long as your panels have a decent pitch--the installer should know how long you might expect snow to last.

I do not have an app to control my Mitsubishi splits. Are you going with Mitsubishi? Is there an add on you're getting for the app, or is this a new standard feature? Thanks
