Recent Tesla Energy reviews

Elizabeth, Satellite Beach, FL: The Tesla team that installed our whole house solar system led by Brock did a fabulous job. They were very efficient and wrapped everything up in a timely manner. After the 1st install (we decided to get more panels), the electrician demonstrated the energy coming from the panels based on just being installed that day and it was later in the day and it was out producing our power need at that time. Looking forward to getting approval to turn the system on.

Martin, Milford, MA: When I first contacted Tesla, it went crazy fast. Got the inspection and ready for the next steps. But when I tried to contact them (only way to do this is via the website, there's no phone number to call) it would take 1 to 2 weeks to get a response. Things went quiet then for months, but I attributed this to the parts shortage that I knew everyone was experiencing so I wasn't too concerned.

Then about a month ago Tesla came back and started communicating with me really well, answering my questions within an hour of asking via text message. I don't know Diana's last name but she was excellent. In fact, the communications leading up the install got almost TOO good. I was getting a text message and email almost daily!!

Day of Install came (of course, raining) and the Phoenix Team showed up (they told me to mention them, and I'm happy to) and they were really great. They did a good job and when they were done everything was gone you'd never know anyone was here. Because of the rain they had to put the panels up the next day, but if it had been nice I really think they would have gotten everything done that day. While my new system can't export electricity to the grid until after the utility company finishes the paper work they were able to turn the system on immediately and I've now been off grid for 2 days!
