    New Construction Install Update

    We really wanted solar but don’t like the look of panels and our HOA doesn’t allow panels so this was our only option. We are happy with the final product although we already need them to come out to service the Powerwall. We would do it again but probably not at the prices I’m seeing on this...

    New Construction Solar Roof?

    We have had no issues thus far and our builder did not raise this concern for our new construction.

    New Construction Solar Roof?

    We are waiting on PTO at this time. Shingles were finished being installed about 3 weeks ago. Yes, it was very difficult with Tesla. They want the entire exterior of the house completed before they will even come out to the house to plan their installation. One of the first things our builder...

    Post Your Tesla Solar Layout

    Yes it is possible but we chose to not do it. Cost and minimal production wasn’t worth it. Our house was a new construction so I wish we had asked the builder to bring everything out the side initially but we did not know to do this and this was the first Tesla Solar Roof our builder did. Many...

    New Construction Install Update

    The remaining east-west roof space had no attic access and we didn't want conduits and electrical boxes outside the house. The remaining roof is all north facing so it wasn't really worth it. I wish we did 2 more Powerwalls and had whole home back up but we decided against it for now due to how...

    New Construction Install Update

    The roof is about 5000 sq ft. Almost the entire south facing roof is PV (8.2 kW). A little bit is on east (2.1 kW) and west (2.1 kW) facing. A small amount is north facing (1.2 kW). Estimated first year production is 15595 kWh. We don’t have PTO and we won’t be moving in for a few more months to...

    New Construction Solar Roof?

    I only have one picture that is far away from my builder. I live to far away from the house to see it often. Probably the next time I get to go, the roof will be entirely done. This picture is from day 3 of work. They removed the underpayment placed by the builder to protect the house through...

    New Construction Solar Roof?

    We tried asking what they would want but of course we couldn’t get in touch with the project advisor for several months at a time so they just did 2 2” conduits. When we finally got in touch with the project advisor, they said that would be fine. The architect and on site project manager during...

    New Construction Solar Roof?

    My wife and I are in the process of having a custom home built in Mechanicsburg, PA right now. Our builder was very supportive with the painful process of dealing with Tesla. We made it known with the builder from day 1 that we planned on doing the Tesla solar roof and Powerwalls. The builders...
