It's always about the view and the new tile roof in June 2025 plus the Tesla whole-house solar system comprising 26 roof panels harnessing 8.45-kilowatt capacity of energy. This incredible benefit includes two Power Walls and a wall-mounted charging station supporting most brands of electric vehicles. The solar system reduces house energy costs to $27 a month and zero for your electric car. When the grid goes down the system instantly kicks in with energy for several days of all household demands.
