Paso Robles Resident Eliminates Bills with Solar and a Backup Battery Powerwall

Local Paso Robles resident and Sherwood Dog Park Board Member Darrel Kinkaid chose A.M. Sun Solar to install his solar energy system and Tesla Powerwall on his home in October 2019. 

Being recently retired, Darrel was searching for ways to eliminate unpredictable monthly expenses. “Like most people who are transitioning into a fixed income, you want to eliminate bills that are constantly changing variables, like electricity,” Darrel said. 

With a solar energy system and a Tesla Powerwall, his electric utility bill is now a thing of the past. “I don’t even think about my electric bill anymore,” he said. “Having solar and a Powerwall virtually pays for itself.”

With Darrel’s background in engineering, his solar panel installation was something he took seriously — every part of the installation process was important to him. When he got to working with the A.M. Sun Solar installation team, he was nothing short of proud. 

After having his solar energy system installed, Darrel sought after other local companies to install a Battery Backup Powerwall, however, he found that many other companies had too many outside parties involved in the process. Darrel discovered that A.M. Sun Solar was a direct installer of the Tesla Powerwall, which made for a more streamlined process for customer service, installation, and permitting to take place.

“A.M. Sun’s process in installing my Powerwall was very efficient,” he said. “Anytime you can buy something and it keeps paying you back… that’s always a good thing.”
