- This is Part 3 of a multi-part series documenting the installation of a new Tesla Solar Roof and Powerwall at a home near San Antonio, Texas!
In this video, we talk with Carson Blair, former Major League baseball catcher and now CEO of Vikta Energy about the various modular components that go into a Tesla Solar Roof, how these are installed and what you can expect as the installation proceeds from the prepared roof surface with the Tesla-provided underlayment layer through completed installation. We will also cover many common questions people have when considering this solar and power backup solution.
Because the installation of the Powerwalls and Gateway had not yet been completed at this point, we will cover this in Part 4 and tie the entire process together.
In Part 1 of this video series, we talked with the homeowner and got her thoughts on why she selected a Tesla Solar Roof. We also saw the initial steps to get the process underway. It should be noted this is in addition to a full home restoration & expansion, so much more construction is underway at this project than what you might see at a typical installation.
In Part 2 of this video series, we talked with one of the employees of Vikta Energy, the company contracted by Tesla to do this roof installation and we see the steps necessary to remove to original roof and begin preparations to ensure the roof is ready for the Tesla Solar Roof installation. One of the most important steps once the old roof is removed is the installation of a Tesla roof underlayment membrane material, that not only protects the roof and makes it water proof, it also is self-sealing and provides the proper surface on which the Tesla Solar Panels can be installed.
Part 4 will include discussion of the Tesla Powerwall and Gateway installation, a bonus discussion about how a Cybertruck purchase can integrate with Powerwalls and the Gateway, and we will talk with a representative of Vikta Energy about the warranty, lessons learned through this installation and service after the sale. Finally, we'll talk with the homeowner about their perspective of the installation process. This video will be the wrap-up and conclusion of the project. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Joe, you're doing a great job interviewing... keeping the questions short, but asking the necessary questions to inform your audience.
Thank you so much for doing this. I just sent this video to my son who wants to install the Tesla solar roof.
Great interview! Woo hoo Vikta Energy Team!
Nice video and series! Turning into a real "infomercial", which would not only cost Tesla a few bucks to make, but would not automatically have the audience of your YT followers. Maybe they can make you a "deal" on your place? 😊
Thanks, Joe. We have solar panels and Tesla power Walls. Lost power 30 times last year. Also, storm watch is a great feature.
Super informative Joe. Thank you so much.
Thanks for this series Joe. Up until recently this was a Tesla energy product that did not get much attention. It is gratifying to see it is a complete and workable solution for renewable energy needs. And it is gorgeous. Just one question though about the glass panels. Can they be walked upon? I would like to know the answer to that as a practical question.
🤗THANK YOU AND CARSON ,FOR THE UPDATE, I LOVE ❤️ THE WHOLE TESLA SYSTEM AND YOUR COVERAGE IS 👍😎💚💚💚
Vents really should be replumbed to go out the sides of the house. They require so much engineering and work that it would be more efficient to call a plumber in a week before to eliminate roof protrusions.
Building codes say the top of the vents must be "this-high" which means it's difficult to position them around the edge without making the pipe 10' high.
Great insight on the solar roof I wish there were more videos and news about it! I think it's a hugely unknown/almost forgotten asset of what Tesla's doing.
Noticed a later drone shot where you could see all the old copper had been used to finish out the back side of the roof. Really nice that the build teams worked together to make that happen.
Joe's videos always come across as well researched and well presented. Thank you, Joe, for the investment of your time. We recognise that this takes up a significant portion of your day.
Would you ask Carson if he's hearing any rumors/updates on a different color than the black tiles? We saw drone video of a terra-cotta/neutral color at the Fremont factory about 2 years ago, but not heard anything since.
Thanks Joe, great information wonderfully presented!
Nice video, Joe. Thanks for sharing
Thank you Joe
very well done Joe thank you I am learning a lot about the Tesla solar roofs great job
My relatives used to say it the same. Brings backbwarm memories.
Tesla should design and build homes with a roof that is a single, flat plane set at the ideal angle to capture winter sun.
The roof overhang should shade the interior in summer but allow the lower winter sun to penetrate the home.
It would make solar installation a snap.
Even if they provided approved designs with homeowners able to provide variables.
You don't need giant solar panels.
The vast majority of installation time is taken up trying to fit panels into geometry not designed for them.

Question for Carson: How constrained are your supplies from the Tesla Buffalo Gigafactory? Rollout of solar roofs seems excruciatingly slow, so I wonder what the issues are (other than the obvious cost issue). Thanks.
👍👍
👏👍
Mal ein sehr angenehmer Handwerker, kein Schreihals oder Hochstapler, nun ist hauptsächlich von Interesse, wie die vielen Kabel und die vielen Steckverbinder die Witterung aushalten und welche Kenngrößen das Dach hat.
Tesla 😍😍
Wonder why they aren't installing them in all the new SpaceX homes being built down at Boca Chica village.
The roof lasts 25 years, are those homes meant to be there that long?
what was the price for this install? I got a estimate for a gable end roof with no valleys and 1,000 sq ft for $250,000. Now maybe on Mars that makes sense but on Earth that is a ludicrous price. Why doesn't Tesla let home owners buy solar shingles? If we really want to stop burning carbon then Tesla is going to have to sell direct to consumer like they do their cars. Also what was that massive round steel structure on the side of the house?
Great video series! Just curious, what is that big round silver "tank" next to one end of the house? There is already a pool in the backyard. Maybe that is a rain water collection system.
🙋♂️JUST FYI,… That is a pool and a rain water collector… mentioned in the earlier videos
@@budgetaudiophilelife-long5461 Thank you.
I wish I was rich enough to do this.
Undecided installed a metal roof and solar panels. His neighbour installed a solar roof. When they compared the 2 the costs were similar. We are planning a metal roof which stretches our resources but one could see that in the long term it makes sense.
Very interested in the cost of this
Every home and business should install a rain water collection and storage system along with solar panels.
Even in areas where rain is infrequent it is crazy to waste the little rain that does fall and waste it.
We need to stop planting green lawns and switch to local native plantings around homes.
It is crazy to plant lawns and build golf courses in dry desert areas. We waste too much water and electricity.
the future is electric. Wind and solar energy along with electric vehicles are the future. Stop using fossil fuels. There is a climate crisis.
Water doesn't disappear. It is infinitely recycled with no human action necessary. All the rain water will come back again.
ruf
Next time ask him how often there are shingle failures
the ruff....That accent.
I keep thinking he's saying solar rough.
What part of the country has that particular pronunciation?
I appreciate your well thought out comments and for watching along.
@@JoeTegtmeyer Hey Joe, Thanks for the content.
@@briansilver9652 You're welcome and I hope you found it helpful, even if you just have a rough roof! 😁
@@JoeTegtmeyer But seriously, where are you from. I can't place that accent. That can't be a native Texan accent. New England?
General pronounciation divide between east and west, east says roof with the long o's and west says more "ruff/rough".
