Tesla Solar Roof & Powerwall Installation Part 3 Solar Tiles Discussion & Installation

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.
