Design
Tesla solar panels are sleek. The company prides themselves on having low-profile solar panels with concealed edges and no visible grid. A simple design is used and they are secured close to your roof and to each other for a minimal aesthetic – there are no bulky racks or large gaps! You don’t need to worry about these solar panels negatively affecting how the exterior of your home looks.
Durability
Tesla solar panels have maximum durability. Not only are the solar panels themselves durable, but they are designed to have minimum impact on your roof so you don’t need to worry about damaging your home’s roof. Installation points are sealed to protect against rain, snow and ice.
Savings
Simply put, Tesla provides the lowest cost per watt of any national solar panel provider and will reduce your electricity bill.
Home Battery Backup
The Tesla solar panel Powerwall stores energy and makes it available on demand anytime — at night or during an outage. Powerwall detects grid outages and automatically becomes your home’s main energy source. With Tesla solar panels, you are protected from the next power outage. Keep your lights on, fridge cool and devices fully charged!
Time Based Control
If one thing is for sure, Tesla solar panels are smart! If your utility prices vary throughout the day, you can set Powerwall in Time-Based Control to maximize your savings. Powerwall learns patterns in your energy usage and solar generation and then uses stored energy to avoid purchasing high-cost electricity.
24/7 Monitoring
With Tesla solar panels, you can manage your solar system and home energy consumption from anywhere in the world with 24/7 mobile monitoring. Watch your consumption rise and fall in real time, including historical usage.
