Top Ranked Companies
The Good
- Free Evaluation
- Superior Aesthetic
- Financing Options
- Warranty Coverage
Free Evaluation
Tesla Energy Solar Power provides complimentary site evaluations for potential customers. Once the site evaluation is complete, the company will provide the potential customer with a certified quote.
Superior Aesthetic
Some customers worry about how a solar system will look on their roof, but Tesla panels have a sleek look and maintain a low profile with no visible grid and a concealed edge. Panels have a black anodized aluminum alloy frame with black solar cells and backsheet. If you want to see how solar panels would look on your roof, you can visit Tesla's design studio online.
Solar roof tiles are another option to consider if you need to replace your roof or are building a new construction.
Financing Options
Tesla Energy Solar Power aims to provide its customers with cost-effective solar solutions. For those who may not be able to cover the entire cost of the system upfront, the company offers a variety of financing options, including options with no interest and options with no upfront cost.
Notably, Tesla Energy Solar Power will match a pricing quote for solar.
Warranty Coverage
All of Tesla Energy Solar Power's systems are backed by the company's Iron Clad Power Protection Guarantee. The company provides a 12-year inverter warranty, a 25-year performance guarantee and 100 percent system coverage. You can monitor your system's performance from your phone.
The corporate website does not include workmanship warranty information.
The Bad
- Limited Availability
- Outsourced Installations
Limited Availability
Tesla Energy Solar Power is headquartered in Sacramento, and the company appears to focus on the California market.
Outsourced Installations
Tesla Energy Solar Power states that it partners with a third party, Sunworks, for solar system installation. This may introduce communication or staffing hurdles that aren't as evident when companies hire installers in-house. However, Sunworks does appear to have a positive reputation within the solar industry.
The Bottom Line
Tesla Energy Solar Power has been in business for several years and offers free evaluations, financing options, and 25-year warranty coverage. However, the company appears to work with another company for the installation portion of the solar process, so you'll want to make sure you're made aware of installation details like the workmanship warranty (if applicable), projected completion timeline, and scheduling specifics.
