Full Solar and Battery System Install Done Right

Most homeowners think solar is just about slapping panels on a roof and calling it a day. It's not. A system that actually performs well - and keeps performing - comes down to how it's designed, how it's mounted, and what's backing it up when the sun isn't out.

We handled the full setup here, from the panels on the roof down to the battery storage inside. The black-on-black panel look sits flush and clean against the slate roofing, and the mounting hardware is locked in tight with proper spacing and alignment. Nothing slapped together. The wiring is run neatly through conduit, everything secured to the wall in a clean, professional layout that's easy to service down the road.

The battery side of this system is where things get really interesting. Two Tesla Powerwalls are wall-mounted in the garage with conduit running clean up the wall and meeting at a central junction point overhead. That's your backup power right there. When the grid goes down or the sun drops, those units kick in and keep the home running. It's the kind of setup that gives you real energy independence - not just lower bills, but actual control over your power.

Pairing solar with battery storage is the smart move for anyone serious about energy costs and reliability. Solar alone is great. Solar with batteries is a completely different level. You're generating during the day, storing what you don't use, and pulling from that reserve at night or during outages. The system works around the clock, not just when conditions are perfect.

We love installs like this one. Everything from the roof array down to the Powerwalls came together exactly the way it should - clean, efficient, and built to last. That's what we're here for at Reliance Electrical Solutions.
