We have a Tesla car, but I never considered their solar because it's a commodity, and their options are overpriced. They also pushed leases pretty heavily, which I was not interested in. We bought our panels in 2018, the same year we bought the EV.
Just talk to your neighbors about reputable local installers. They'll have panel and storage options.
That said, because these things are largely commoditized, there's some turmoil in the market. Our (excellent!) local installer was saved by the PPP during the pandemic, which was a bit of a sobering thought -- they're the ones backingthe 25 year installation guarantee!
Then Sunpower (our panel vendor, and one of the higher end ones, at that) went out of business. Our monitoring system continues to work thanks to the work of the bankruptcy courts, though it's been transferred to a company who is trying to support those assets be having a freemium model.
