Why homeowners choose Tesla Powerwall in San Diego

Power outages happen more than they used to. So do surprise rate spikes. A Tesla Powerwall gives homeowners a way to store energy and use it when they actually need it.

At McKay Roofing and Solar, we see Powerwalls added after outages, system upgrades, or when people realize solar alone shuts down during grid failures. Powerwall keeps essential circuits running automatically without noise or fuel.

What Tesla Powerwall installation includes

Tesla Powerwall installation starts with checking your existing solar system, inverter type, and electrical panel. Not every setup works the same, and Powerwall placement matters for safety and performance.

The install includes mounting the battery, integrating it with your solar system, configuring backup loads, and setting up monitoring through the Tesla app. It’s not a plug-and-play job. It needs to be tied into your solar battery installation correctly to work the way people expect.

How long Tesla Powerwall installation takes

Most Powerwall installs take one to two days once permits and equipment are ready. Timing depends on panel upgrades, wiring access, and system layout.

If electrical upgrades or roof adjustments are needed, those are handled first. Because roofing and solar are handled together, the install doesn’t stall waiting on other contractors to step in.

Common Powerwall install issues we see

A lot of problems come from rushed installs or poor planning. Batteries get installed without enough clearance, wiring is undersized, or backup loads aren’t set up correctly.

We’re often called to fix Powerwall installs done without understanding the roof, solar layout, or future service access. Getting it right the first time saves a lot of frustration later.

Tesla Powerwall vs other battery systems

Tesla Powerwall is popular because it integrates cleanly with solar and has solid monitoring. It’s not the only battery option, but it works well for many homes.

Powerwall also pairs well with system upgrades, panel replacements, or solar installation projects where everything is being planned together instead of added piece by piece.

Roof and solar considerations with Powerwall

Even though the battery sits off the roof, the solar system feeding it still depends on proper roof penetrations and wiring paths. Older installs sometimes need adjustments before Powerwall can be added.
