Can you add more solar panels to an existing system Tesla?
Rather than adding additional panels to your existing solar system, we can offer a second system if you would like to add more panels in the future. This ensures each system operates at maximum efficiency and maintains the original warranty. Contact us if you would like to discuss adding a second system to your home.
Can I add a Tesla PowerWall later?
If you’re considering adding more PowerWalls in the future, would recommend you have the first PowerWall mounted on the floor, because adding a second PowerWall to the front is easy, using the same conduit for cabling as the first PowerWall.
