I did something similar and don't regret it for a second. We went ahead and got powerwalls as well after, so now any excess is stored first, then sold back to PSEG.

My only regret is that we got the panels shortly after moving in, so we didn't have enough data to support more panels and now we don't have enough panels.

How long have you had the panels? I assume you bought the power walls?

Hmm. Since 2016 or so. We bought the Powerwalls the year after.

How many powerwalls and is it enough? If forced to choose, would you skimp on batteries, or panels?

Well, being I don't currently have enough panels, I'd stick with my current setup vs having less PW and more panels.

I have 4 PW. It's enough for my house size. I've been the only house with power in the neighborhood a few times. I never even notice when the power goes out. The switch to PW is seamless.
