Imagine never paying an energy bill again. For this homeowner in North Raleigh, that is now a reality. By installing a 12-kW solar system paired with a Tesla Powerwall 2, they took control of their energy costs, secured backup power, and have maintained a $0 Duke Energy bill since installation.
A Powerful Solar Solution
This long-term energy solution provided both financial savings and energy security. Their system was designed for maximum efficiency and includes:
- 30 QCells solar panels to generate clean, renewable energy.
- A Tesla Powerwall 2 to store excess power for outages.
- A Tesla 7.6 kW Solar Inverter for seamless energy conversion.
- A 200A Main Panel Upgrade for smooth integration and future system expansion.
They are not only eliminating energy costs but also feeding excess power back into the grid, maximizing their return on investment.
Financing & Savings

While incentives vary, many homeowners can reduce their costs significantly with programs like Duke Energy incentives and the 30% tax credit. These incentives, combined with the long-term financial return from lower energy costs, make solar a strong investment for the future.
Monitoring Solar from Anywhere
For this homeowner, solar is not just about savings. It is about total energy control. The ability to monitor their system has been invaluable. Whether checking solar production or battery storage levels, they always have a clear view of their system’s performance.
One moment stood out while checking their app. They noticed an unusual spike in energy usage. Upon investigating, they discovered that a fridge door had been left ajar. This small but significant detail highlighted an unexpected benefit of solar: greater awareness and control over household energy use.
