Does anyone have any knowledge (equipment / specifications) about the Tesla PV system as offered by Solar City?

Someone on reddit mentioned that after going through the same co-op (my system: https://www.greenpowertalk.org/showthread.php?t=23522) that I am currently apart of, that they decided to go with Solar City / Tesla Solar. The price was slightly higher at US$2.48/watt before the tax credit. The system as offer by Superior Solar through the Co-op is US$2.25/watt before the tax credit. HOWEVER, the Solar City system does include a powerwall. For the a 16.5 kWH system with a Powerwall, after the tax credit was US$32K.

Searching the Tesla website, it seems that they offer a 325W (21.76% efficient) made by Panasonic team at Tesla's Gigafactory 2 in Buffalo, NY. Nothing about other equipment.
