Project Summary
This Paso Robles homeowner had no interest in a basic install—he needed a system that could stand up to real challenges. His roof pitch was steep, the summer heat hit 95°, and the Tesla Powerwall showed up damaged. But he wasn’t left to deal with it alone.
Viva Energy stepped up. When Tesla offered to send repair parts, our project manager Nick Goodwin insisted on a full replacement—and got it. Despite delays and extreme conditions, our crew completed a clean, high-performing installation designed to deliver both energy savings and reliable backup power.
The result? A system that looks sharp, performs reliably, and gives this homeowner exactly what he was after: confidence, control, and peace of mind. His five-star review says it all: “Nick said, ‘No way—you need to send us a new one.’ And they did.”
