I am not so sure. On paper, I would be an ideal candidate, I have a 4.8kW PV system (20 panels), with an inverter the Tesla could likely use. But in practice I generate enough extra power during the sunny months to have credit for the winters, and that's in Portland OR. $3K for a whole-house UPS seems like a lot, somehow...

You have credit because you're selling power back to the electric company (PGE?), is that not right? The ideal candidate for one of these systems doesn't have the option of selling power back into the grid, either because their utility company doesn't want to buy electricity from consumers, or because they're off the grid completely.
