Tesla launches first solar-powered neighborhood in Austin

07/15/2021 / By Ramon Tomey

Tesla Energy launched its latest initiative in Texas – a neighborhood powered by solar energy. It tied up with Brookfield Asset Management and Dacra to build the provisionally named SunHouse at Easton Park in Austin. In a July 9 press release, Tesla touted the development as the first Tesla Solar neighborhood and the nation’s most sustainable residential community.

The company said its “state-of-the-art” sustainable features will be installed in phases to “allow for ongoing learning and innovation.” It added that Tesla V3 solar roof tiles and Powerwall 2 battery storage systems will be installed in phases at homes in the SunHouse community. The homes will be built on land in Brookfield Residential’s Easton Park community, the press release noted.

The first phase of installation began in June, with a number of houses getting solar panels and batteries. The statement said these initial installations “will provide insight and information on product integration” and guide the next phase – involving more homes.

How much will this add to the cost of each house?
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

Oh good...make sure they aren't connected to the electric grid or any gas lines.  If we have another winter like this last one, they'll all freeze to death.

Or melt in the summer, those panels will not make enough electricity to even run a small window AC

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.
