Just wanted to share our project. My wife and I are doing a 14.85 kW, 2 PW partial home back up solar roof. This is after 3 weeks of work. They estimate another 2 weeks. House is located in Mechanicsburg, PA.

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 forum lately. I would say the coordination of new construction was the worst part of it but for replacement I think it would have been slightly less frustrating.@Markm287
I'm also in PA [30 min north of Philadelphia], and have been contemplating installation of Solar Roof. This would be a replacement roof on a house similar to yours in terms of size/roof complexity. I see you referenced the "fun" of dealing with Tesla on this. Given all that you know now, would you do it all over again? I am at the very first stages of the process, so can still jump out if the journey ahead is not worth the travel...
Beautiful house btw!
Thanks for all the updates on your project. Would you happen to know, and be willing to share the price differential of a new install vs an installation on an existing home and/or be willing to let me know who your builder was. I know Tesla automatically quotes for removing the old roof. Do you know if that's the only differential. I'm doing a research paper on the feasibility of semi-custom home builders offering their roofing as an option and having a difficult time getting this information from Tesla directly.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.

Thanks! We are excited to finally be moving in the house in a couple of weeks.
