That's fair.
Better comparison:
Author's config:
3x Powerwalls + inverters = 40 kWh
4.2 kW array
£39,360 = $53k USD
Alternative:
EG4 18kPV Hybrid Inverter = $5000
3x RIUXU = $9600
10x Trina Solar 435w panels = $1580
Cabling, installations, etc. = $5000
Total = $21k
It's not even close...
This is still not an accurate comparison. I'm not a Tesla fanboy but of all of the major players in the non-diy game (Enphase, Franklin, Tesla, Sol-Ark) they provide the best value for money, and are impressive pieces of equipment.
The EG4 18k has 11.5 kw backfeed capability, with a rather pathetic 65ish amp in-rush. Obviously 18kw usable solar capacity(they technically let you land up to 21kw, but only 18 is usable).
The Powerwall system you outlined can take 60kw of usable solar input, has 34kw standing backfeed capability, and a whopping 555 amp in-rush (not a typo, it's 185 amps per unit).
Not to get in to warranties, etc.
