Tesla Powerwall Installer
Earthlight Technologies is a certified Tesla Powerwall installer, meaning it’s authorized to install the Tesla Powerwall directly into your home. The Tesla Powerwall acts as a battery to store solar energy produced during the day that can be used at night or in the event of a power outage. The Tesla Powerwall is a top battery in the solar industry and a great option when going solar.
Commercial and Residential Solar
Earthlight Technologies offers both commercial and residential solar. For its commercial solar projects, the company offers many detailed case studies on its website with information regarding the time, duration, and savings the customer received with their solar panels. This can be exceptionally helpful for customers to compare their commercial solar needs with a project that was previously completed.

Buy, Lease, or Loan Payment Options
Earthlight Technologies offers three different payment methods for solar panels. These include buying, leasing, and loaning. In order of most to least cost efficient for customers, buying comes first with loaning and leasing following second and third.

Customers can speak with Earthlight Technologies about the specifics on each plan and which will be best for their individual needs.
