Great, honest, simple and easy

I tried 2 solar contactor with great reviews but they were so sleezy and pushy just like the worst car salesman you could imagine. It was a startling experience I didn't expect nowadays. So i did tesla.com and they were an absolute breath of fresh air. They have up front pricing that was the most affordable (although their financing terms weren't as great). They were no pressure, no rush, just very honest and helpful. They handled all county inspections (I even had a weird issue because my electric panel had been upgraded by the previous home owner but there was no permit. That lead to the county not signing off on the solar installation but Tesla took it on themselves and got a permit for it and they resolved the debacle for free. I think I would have had to hire an electrician to come pull a permit and make some changes to wiring and basically take ownership of the panel replacement job which probably would have been pricey. And aside from that, the panel installation looks fantastic! Black panels with beveled trim around the perimeter to hide the mounting hardware and wiring. And that's another thing... all wiring is clipped up on the panels. Many contractors let the wiring rest on the shingles. Wind will wiggle them around and damage them over time. Overall I couldn't be happier with Tesla.

Need more in-person interaction with an energey advisor!

The sunrun energy advisor explained everything a way better than the Tesla energy advisor. No one could beat the Tesla's quote though - not even close. It would be great, if Tesla also provides some interaction with a person through a phone call throughout the installation process. I sometimes wondered what am I supposed to do next - though I didn't have to do anything. Everything seemed very professional and organized from beginning of the request for quote to activation with the utility company.

Great experience for Powerwall install!

I ordered some Powerwalls from Tesla. Unfortunately the wait times were extremely long. That being said, when my install was initally scheduled, our town required some additional permits. Tesla had their notary meet me to get the necessary signatures the next day so they could get the forms in straight away. Big plus to them for that. The install was rescheduled to be a month later. Tesla kept me informed and reminded of when the install would happen and sent reference links to what I should expect. 2 days prior to install, the Powerwalls were delivered. On the day of the install, the team of 3 assembled on my street starting at a little before 7AM. They walked over the install with us and discussed options of how to install and run the cabling. We settled on something everyone agreed with and the crew quickly got to work. They ran all the conduit and added the gateway and mounted the PWs, which required power to be cut during this process. The team worked diligently until power could be restored to the house. This took about 4 hours of work. The next day one of the senior crew returned with a team to run wires through the conduit and connect the PWs up. The longest process was waiting for the software to download and update. The team was respectful, experienced and professional. Everyone knew their tasks and were great to work with. Definitely enjoyed the install process.

Positive Experience

My overall experience with Tesla is great! I'm very happy with how everything has turned out thus far. The negative reviews I've seen and YouTube videos I've watched before deciding to go with Tesla, I was expecting a difficult journey with them. That is not what happened with my interactions with everyone at Tesla and the final installation. Our journey started eight months ago. We started very cautiously and got six bids from various solar companies. Many factors went into why we decided to go with Telsa. The primary reason was the low profile, all-black panels by Qcell, and of course cost. We maxed out our solar panels based on our City Utility requirement at 120%, 17 panels, 6.8kw system with 3 Powerwall+. With any other company, it would have been 2 to 3 times more expensive. Our solar panels and powerwalls were installed on April 11, 2023. It took roughly 11 hours. Quite the day for the Teala team. Gordy and Kevin and their install team were great! Just very friendly, willing to answer any questions we had, and were always in a good mood no matter what. They were great with care and paying attention to details. I can't say enough good thinking about them! The Tesla inspector, Sergei came out to inspect the system with the local Pikes Peak Regional Building Department (PPRBD) inspector, Sergei was also very nice and very helpful! We got approval from our utility company on May 2, 2023. Since then we have been 90-100% independent from the grid (based on cloudy days) and selling back what we do not use. Of course, we made sacrifices going with Teala. Tesla does not have 24/7 customer service and support. They also do not monitor your system if something should go wrong. And no mico-inverters for each panel. One inverter for the whole system. That's the reason why they are cheaper than their competitors. Based on our roof and trees around the house, one inverter was fine. We can monitor our system with the pretty cool Tesla app. If something should go wrong, well, we are patient and will contact them when they are in. I would highly recommend Tesla for your solar project. Everyone at Telsa I have talked with via phone, email, or in person has been great! Our system has been amazing!

Fast response time

Extremely fast response time and least expensive options we found by at least 15%. Turned out the only hangup in permission to operate was the town inspector not filing/closing the permit properly. From order to install took about four months. We have completely offset our energy usage and that includes 100 miles of daily EV driving. Couldn't be happier!

Simply incredible! Super happy!!

The whole process from the online ordering, design review to final step of getting it on my roof and paying for it was smooth and frictionless -- almost magical. Even getting a quote was **time consuming and painful*** with all other companies --- involving site visits, sometime multiple times (sun run) with you having to be present before they could offer a quote. With Tesla, you get an automated quote online, and the final pricing after the site visit and final design was pretty much the same, with option for cash or 10 yr loan that was instantly approved. Ordered in Jan for a large rooftop set up and two powerwalls, design review in March, permitting was done in April, and installation on first week of May. Just the right amount of communication and a prompt and courteous advisor to answer queries via text or phone. Installation crew for both powerwall and roof panels were top notch. Since we already had a Tesla app, the powerwall and panels just magically showed up there and started working. I had quotes from Sun Run and couple other smaller local companies -- Tesla not only beat their prices handily, the panels look way better compared to what anyone had to offer, with low profile and edge skirts all around to make them seamlessly blend on our moire black roof.
