Yes, Evergreen Solar offers both on-roof solar panel installations and ground-mounted systems for properties where roof space or orientation isn’t ideal. These options are typically used with traditional solar panels.

However, Tesla Roof is a specialized solution that fully replaces your existing roof with solar-integrated tiles. It requires installation on the roof and is not available as a ground-mounted system. If you’re considering clean energy but aren’t sure which type of solar system is right for your property, our team can provide a tailored assessment and walk you through the best options.

The Solar Roof is a fully integrated roofing and energy system that replaces your existing roof with architectural-grade glass tiles that generate solar power. Unlike traditional solar panels, which are mounted on top of your current roof, Tesla Solar Roof serves as both a durable roofing solution and a clean energy generator. The tiles are designed to blend seamlessly with your home’s architecture, eliminating bulky racks or visible panels.

This dual-purpose system delivers both aesthetic appeal and high solar production. It’s ideal for homeowners who want a modern roofing upgrade while significantly reducing their electricity bill with long-term energy savings.

A Tesla Solar Roof installation includes a combination of active solar tiles that generate energy and non-solar tiles that complete the roof’s design. It also comes with Tesla’s solar inverter, optional Tesla Powerwall for energy storage, and a monitoring system through the Tesla app for real-time tracking.

The system is customized to fit your home’s dimensions and energy needs, ensuring optimal solar production and efficiency. As a Tesla-certified installation partner, Evergreen Solar and Harbert Roofing ensure the system is installed to Tesla’s exact standards—from roofing tile fitment to wiring and permitting.

Yes, Tesla Solar Roof systems qualify for the federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC), commonly referred to as the solar tax credit. This allows homeowners to deduct a significant percentage of the installation cost—including labor, equipment, and Tesla Powerwall—from their federal taxes. State and local incentives, such as the California Solar Tax Credit, may also apply.

Tax incentives can greatly improve your return on investment by lowering the upfront cost of going solar. However, eligibility depends on factors like ownership and system size.

Absolutely. Tesla Powerwall integrates seamlessly with Tesla Solar Roof to create a full home energy ecosystem. It stores excess solar energy produced during the day for use at night or during grid outages, giving you greater energy independence and control over your electricity bill.

Powerwall also enables time-of-use optimization by storing energy when rates are low and using it when rates are high. It’s ideal for Northern California homeowners looking to protect against blackouts or who want to maximize their energy storage and savings.

The installation timeline for a Tesla Solar Roof varies depending on your roof size, complexity, permitting, and any necessary upgrades. On average, most installations take between 1 to 2 weeks from roof tear-off to activation.

Evergreen Solar and Harbert Roofing handle everything from site inspection and design to permitting and final connection. We also coordinate with local utility providers to ensure the system is safely connected to the grid.

Yes. Tesla Roof tiles are engineered with architectural-grade tempered glass that is three times stronger than standard roofing tiles. They are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, including hail, heavy rain, and high winds—making them an ideal choice for homes in Northern California’s varied climate.

Each system comes with a 25-year warranty covering power production, weatherization, and tile durability, giving homeowners long-term peace of mind.

The cost of your Tesla Solar Roof system is based on several key factors: the total square footage of your roof, the number of solar tiles required, whether Tesla Powerwall is included, and the complexity of installation. Additional variables like steep roof slopes, skylights, or required electrical upgrades can also affect pricing.

Before installation, we’ll provide a detailed proposal outlining all costs, including labor, materials, and potential pre-construction needs such as trenching or main panel upgrades. Pricing transparency is a top priority, and any changes will be clearly communicated for approval.
