Tesla Solar Roof V3 in Texas

[@magnamic5614]

Thanks for this. My next roof is a Tesla Solar roof and this was a welcome surprise in my feed.

[@teslachris701]

Nice step by step explanation. Tesla roof do look nice. Nicely shot.

[@SeedVisual]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks!

[@adamwyatt1747]

Awsome video man. Love the B-roll

[@todaystopicsnews5667]

Roof looks awesome 👏

[@SeedVisual]

Agreed. Looks even more impressive in person!

[@umich8907]

Thanks for featuring us Pablo!

[@switchmuso]

HEYYYY! Do a video about how you're faring in The Big Freeze, it'll get a million hits!! Tried searching, no video there yet...

[@SeedVisual]

I really wanted to, but was unable to travel to Mo's to get more drone shots. I will speak about it in a future video though so stay tuned!

[@benmacke8157]

That looks sooo good! Love the install and loved the video.

[@SeedVisual]

Haha thanks. Good Faith Energy does a great job! I appreciate your feedback on the video! Thanks!

[@lifestyle4dividends776]

Stoked for the content!! Keep us updated 👍🏽

[@SeedVisual]

Glad you are enjoying it! Really appreciate the feedback. Thanks!

[@whyworkwhenicanrap6830]

They use tesla underlayment now

[@noisypl]

could you tell more in next videos about maintenance cost of such roof in comparison to other roofs?

[@SeedVisual]

I will definitely talk about these in the upcoming videos. Looking forward to it.

Ordered my Tesla roof 10/13/20. Uploaded all the required info gave them my $100 deposit and have heard absolutely nothing from Tesla. I emailed my rep on the 1st week in Dec and got this response. Not real impressed with the communication and process so far. Thank you for your Tesla Solar Roof order! We are still waiting on the design team to complete your layout. They have a backlog at the moment, so due to the backlog and the holidays, your design will likely not be completed until late December at the earliest. You will be notified once your design is completed and able to be viewed in your Tesla account along with your quote. Kindest Regards, Brent Zeppenfeld Project Advisor - Solar Roof

[@madman3891]

Considering people need to be trained , they have a large number of orders and of course Covid this doesnt surprise me. You'll likely wont see the new roof until summer.

[@SeedVisual]

As you know, this is a relatively new product that is being scaled as we speak. I remember when I ordered my model 3, it was hard to fathom that it would take 2+ years to deliver. Tesla definitely has some work to do, but I can assure you, once they get your system up and online, the wait will have been worth it.

[@carlshowalter9629]

I heard from many people that their customer service sucks bigtime!

[@EnthusiastCarHangar]

Interesting. Thanks!

[@fnhscar1727]

After Tesla increased the price of a Solar Roof project by more than $30,000, homeowners explain why they have filed a lawsuit alleging breach of contract

[@SeedVisual]

That's crazy! Hopefully they make it right for those customers.

[@sagarmeena0210]

loved it

[@perjrgensen8280]

Great video.. Greetings from Denmark.

[@SeedVisual]

Thank you! Welcome to the channel. New video coming soon!

[@revealingfacts4all]

How big is the system in this video? And how much is it actually producing? Would have been nice

[@ElCharlyFRGN]

We have customers in west Texas who ended with checks for 2020 for over production. They ranged from $250 all the way to $926.

[@SeedVisual]

That's great!

[@user-vm2mb3rj6c]

Can you be off grid now with this Solar roof? I am really planning to do this but want to make sure I can go off grid. But still kind of hesitant. 🤔

[@aaronbounds1336]

Good video production (from a non-video producer). Hey, question/background. I have a Tesla (SolarCity) panel system on my house, and also four small-ish children. We are in the long process of changing all of our household appliances, vehicles, etcetera to electric, and expanding our electricity needs (quarantine above-ground pool for the kids, etcetera). Our PV system that we got four years ago just isn't covering our needs any longer...I have investigated adding panels to our system, but it's not feasible due to the string inverter setup. I basically have to buy a whole new system, or new panels and a new inverter and then tie the new panels in with the old. It's such a big project that I only want to do it once, but our kids are still growing and we only have one of the two vehicles electric. Our needs will continue to grow and I don't want to install a new PV system every year. So, with all that said, with the Tesla solar roof, can they just swing by, as necessary, and swap out a few of those inactive panels for active ones as electricity demand increases over time?

[@SeedVisual]

You can definitely expand on an existing system, and swap out non producing tiles with producing tiles. Its best to max it out from the get go to keep installation costs down, but yes it can be done.

[@aaronbounds1336]

@@SeedVisual For sure. I wanted to get a much bigger system when we first installed it, but local laws, so says Tesla, only allow for a household to install a system that meets 100% of their previous 12-months' usage. If I had the choice, I would have installed a system double the size, and grown into it over time rather than the other way around.

[@mrarfarf]

Nice vid, it's a little dark but nice!

[@queensnorth]

Interesting. The neighbourhood shown has next to no mature trees around the houses. My question is, should people consider cutting down healthy, mature trees, that shade the house, in order to maximize roof area for a solar roof? (Or even just solar panels on the roof?) I know many MANY neighbourhoods where houses large and small have beautiful tree canopies. Even in the winter, when there are no leafs... snow covered branches can block out a decent chunk of sun... along with a snow covered roof. ;) In my city, there are many new neighbourhoods being built, and all the properties have young trees being planted... with the goal of these trees growing to be huge and ultimately covering roofs, and yards. While I'm all for solar roofs, and panels, I don't know what the trade-off here is, for lots with mature trees or future mature trees. How can these home owners keep their trees yet make use of solar roofs?

[@SeedVisual]

In order to produce the most energy possible, it is best to have a clear sky above your south facing panels. I understand that this might not be viable or worth the trade off of removing beautiful trees. Every home is different. Solar works great for many, but not all.

[@mnomadvfx]

Depends how tall the trees are vs how tall the house is. IMHO if people could loosen their aesthetic obsessed sphyncters and consider putting solar panels on stilts above the house then they could have it all. To say that we are leaving a huge potential of untapped solar power on the table is an understatement.

[@arnabbiswasalsodeep]

What was the video about? Except just making the documents into a vlog style reading format with shots of a house and music at time and mostly promotion... Wtf

[@shadbakht]

Wow, 3 'subscribe' reminders in 1 video!

[@hwngeminiwahine]

Is it handling the snow or any of the freezing issues?

[@SeedVisual]

This is not my house, but I did speak with Mo about it when my house lost power. He sent me a video showing the system pumping electricity into both his house and the grid. Pretty impressive.

[@4literv6]

You have a span panel already? I didn't know those had shipped out to customers yet. 🤔

[@SeedVisual]

Yes! They started shipping. You're going to love it! And if you need an installer, GFE can definitely hook you up!

[@radio_nowhere]

Great video. A question: can this be done on a brand new roof? My home will me constructed by the end of this year and I want to get this next year. So, can this only be installed on an old roof?

[@SeedVisual]

Yes, absolutely. Fill out the contract form in the description. And I'll get in touch with you ASAP.

[@abrahamruiz8473]

Do they do installs anywhere in Texas or is it just a specific area? Hard to find installers where I’m at

[@SeedVisual]

Yes. Good Faith Energy can cover basically anywhere in Texas. Get a free quote and let them know that Pablo sent you!

[@mumtazsuleman3310]

Great solar roof and what is the cost for the solar roof in tx. I have subscribed too Thanks

[@SeedVisual]

The price varies. It all comes down to complexity of the install, how much energy you use, and if you are going with storage features as well. Those factors make the price range vary pretty substantially. If I had to make a guess, you are looking at a minimum of $40,000. The only real way to know is to have free a consultation.

[@kenwhitman1055]

I don’t do social media

[@masochistboy653]

Did you find the solar roof useful during your balckouts.

[@SeedVisual]

Because this system is equipped with a Tesla Powerwall, it was able to not only produce enough energy to run the house, but also was sending some energy back to the grid during the days it was storming.

[@evanseesred]

Beware. We have had an absolutely terrible experience with Tesla Solar roofing. This is not ready for prime time. I’d highly recommend going with a more established solar provider, at least until they work out the major kinks. A roof is something that will last you decades, ideally, so you wanna make sure you’re going with a company that isn’t figuring it out as they go. Buyer beware.

[@mistywassink685]

Super...how much energy does it produce?

[@SeedVisual]

Than you! This system has generated 2700 kWh in the first 3 months. It should generate about 11,000 kWh/year.

[@truth_teller571]

What about the hail damage? Wouldn't that be a deal breaker on having solar panels?

[@SeedVisual]

So I actually got to film a post baseball sized hail hit solar roof last week. I'll have more to report on that soon!

[@piwankow]

Sorry I may have missed, how many KWs is that system

[@SeedVisual]

This is a 9.3KW system.

[@nikupasta8123]

@@SeedVisual how much electricity is it generating per month? How much annual energy it is supposed to generate per your contract?

[@dbhujel2009]

is your roof Simple, Moderate or Complex ?

[@SeedVisual]

This one is considered moderate.

[@kfk256]

Is this in the Houston area?

[@SeedVisual]

This is in the DFW area.

[@dajusta87]

ANY UPDATE WITH THE BIG WINTER ?!?

[@SeedVisual]

I wasn't able to get to Mo's during the storm for more footage, so that was unfortunate, but I will share an update about the Solor Roof which will include data about how it performed in the big storm in a future video.

[@johnvlg01]

So u dont need powerwall with solar roof? Pls explain, thanku in advance

[@SeedVisual]

It works much better if you have the combination of both the Solar Roof plus Powerwalls, but no, you do not have to have both. Without the Powerwalls, you simply use the amount of energy being produced. This means that you would have power during the day, but would still need to rely on the grid at night.

[@Natehorstt]

the pitch of your roof looks absolutely miserable to be on

[@jchen02002]

Solar roof look great, I live in Plano/TX, can you email me your address, so I can take look on my eye. My house had same style roof as your, tough to put solar panel. I am consider solar roof

[@L6Jeremy]

i think everyone is wondering how the past few days went...

[@SeedVisual]

I was not able to get footage of it during the storm because I was dealing with a long power outage myself. We didn't have power for over 48 hrs. I will share some more details about how the roof performed in a future video though, so stay tuned.

Agreed. Definitely the unfortunate side of things if you already have a new roof.
