Monocrystalline solar panels are the most efficient panels on the market. It makes the process simple through its standardized sizes: small (12 panels), medium (24 panels), large (36 panels) and extra-large (48 panels). The company also offers monocrystalline solar panel systems. When the panels are interlocked, they mimic the look of a standard roof. These smaller panels with no visible grid can replicate the aesthetic of roof shingles for a low profile.

I can tell you however they were SUPER QUICK TO TAKE MY $50,000 payment upon sign off on the permit but REFUSE TO HELP ME PAST THIS. Tesla Customer service deserves a NEGATIVE 5 starts and no one takes accountability. To make matters worse I have two brothers locally that both have eversource and after my nightmare they decided to go with solar city and one has their system installed late april 2023 and it was powered on within 1 week to the utility and my second brother had his installation completed on (friday) and it was powered on by the utility on (Monday). I have been on over 50 different e-mail chains with various people from Tesla that blame eversource for being wrong and blame the installers for not doing it right but REFUSE to help me. Right now I am overproducing hundred and hundreds and even thousands of KW a month that can go nowhere and I am losing out on hundreds if not thousands of dollars a month. I still await the interconnection approval from my utility who has sent multiple inspectors out to deem that the system was installed incorrectly and doesn't have the appropriate safety measures needed for a system the size of mine. To this day I write my review the system has never been powered on. The application to my local utility provider was never started until after the system was installed. After a month of back and forth the system was rated for turn on.

The group responsible for install didn't pull the appropriate permits which resulted in me having to massage the local building commissioner and electrical inspector as it is a small community to get them to try and work with me the homeowner rather that work with the installer. Google Snapshots turned into designs for best possible southern exposure and it was determined the 17KW could be laid out properly and the install was set to happen on 5/11/22 which took 2 - 3 days but with the distance required for travel it was short days and it turned into weeks to get everything appropriately powered on. I have a large home and this process was simple. This approval process can take several weeks, so you may not be able to start generating solar power immediately. After approval from the utility, you’ll get permission to turn on your solar system.

Once the installation is complete, Tesla submits documentation to your utility company. It’s important to keep your kids and pets inside to avoid injury. Your installation team mounts the panels directly onto your roof, so they’ll need to set up ladders for easy access. During the installation, expect to be without power for several hours so the crew can work without injury. However, if you’re installing a larger or more complex system, it could take longer. The team can install most solar systems in one day. The company partners with certified solar roof installers around the country, so you can find a solution even if you don’t live in an area where Tesla does installations. They can help you identify any pre-construction needed before installing the solar panels, such as upgrading your main electrical panel or repairing your roof. Your Tesla energy advisor will work with you to ensure your home is ready when installation day rolls around.
