This Raleigh homeowner wanted a solar solution that met their energy needs and also provided reliable backup power. After removing two large pine trees blocking the roof’s solar potential, we designed a custom 9.775 kW DC solar system tailored to maximize energy production.
The system features 23 Q.CELL Q.TRON 425W panels paired with 8 Tesla Inverters, ensuring optimal energy efficiency. The Tesla Powerwall 3, installed on the exterior of the home, provides whole-home backup during power outages, keeping the family powered when the grid goes down. The project was approved under Duke Energy’s PowerPair program, using the Bridge Rate Rider option. Plus, the Powerwall is enrolled in the EnergyWise/Battery Control Incentive Program for additional savings.
