This is Part I of a multi-part series documenting the installation of a new Tesla Solar Roof and Powerwall at a home near San Antonio, Texas! In this, Part 1, we talk with the homeowner and get her thoughts on why she selected a Tesla Solar Roof and we see the initial steps to get the process underway. It should be noted this is in addition to a full home restoration & expansion, so much more construction is underway at this project than what you might see at a typical installation. Part II will show the roof demolition and the steps to prepare for the Tesla Solar Roof, including the installation of a underlayment material. We also talk with a technician from Vikta Energy, the preferred Tesla installation partner for this installation. Part III will talk with the owner of Vikta Energy and go through the design process, discuss the various components of the Tesla Solar Roof and we cover many common questions people have when considering this solar and power backup solution. Part IV will be the wrap-up and conclusion of the project.
