![]() – We were really drawn to the fact that Freedom is a one-stop-shop for the SunPower panels (which, after a fair amount of research, we do believe to be the best out there). I could email, text, call, whatever, anyone on the team any time of the day and folks would be so responsive. – Throughout the process, the Freedom team did a fantastic job at keeping in touch and being available for any questions. After asking some general questions about what we were looking for, they scheduled a solar consultant meeting just a few days later. – As soon as I called for the first time to get a quote, they picked up (which, apparently, some of their other competitors have difficulty doing…i.e., Texas Solar Outfitters) and were extremely helpful off the bat. Started the process in August and everything was closed out in late October. We had 22 solar panels and 2 Tesla Powerwall 2s installed. They were AWESOME to work with, from the first phone call to…well, I’d say the last communication, but our solar consultant, Walter Anoruo, has been great at texting to keep in touch and checking in on our production, so there hasn’t been a last! Austin, Texasĥ “Highly recommend Freedom Solar if you’re considering solar panels and/or Tesla Powerwalls. Plus feels good to not rely so heavily on the Texas grid. The battery can also be notified of a storm and hold on to a 100% charge plus get power from the grid to get there. The real benefit is that we literally could power our house with no pool for a few days if it got bad with some solar production. So better to just keep our power and use it our self. ![]() Y rate always ended up more costly then x rate. But use power later in the day at y rate. You send power back at x rate and get a credit. It was cheaper to use our own power from the battery then it is to send power back to the grid. The benefit I didn’t really understand until seeing it was that the battery could hold us over almost all night. It is a balance with winter months not being so sunny and also not needing to run the AC. With the battery we are 50% to 70% self powered monthly. We have an older pool pump and a 2400 square foot home. We have 20 panels and a single Tesla power wall. It was almost like having a full concierge service. Then as each part of the process, such as permitting, came up they sent the already filled paperwork to the responsible party. They handled literally all the paperwork. But the team made it as easy as possible. Understandably, there was a six month wait. We called right after the big winter storm in February 2021. 0 We ordered our Tesla battery to augment our already installed solar array.
