Residential Rooftop Solar – The Johnson Family

When the Johnsons moved into their dream home near Austin, they didn’t expect their electricity bills to hit $450/month—or to lose power for three straight days during the 2023 winter storm. "We had to crash at a hotel with our two kids," recalls Sarah Johnson. "After that, we knew we needed a real solution—not just cheaper energy, but reliable power."
The SolarGen Difference
Our team designed a custom sun-tracking solar array paired with two Tesla Powerwalls, specifically engineered for:
- Texas’ climate: Heat-resistant panels that maintain efficiency even at 110°F
- Storm resilience: Hurricane-rated mounting + backup power for 7+ days
- Maximized savings: Smart system that sells excess energy back to the grid
The Results: More Than Just Savings
Energy Independence: 90% of power needs met year-round
Financial Impact: 1,200 annual savings + 1,200 annual savings + 280/year from grid credit
Peace of Mind: Survived 4 major outages without disruption
Future-Proofing: System scales to add EV charging in 2024
"Now when storms hit, our neighbors ask to charge their phones at OUR house," laughs Sarah. "SolarGen didn’t just install panels—they gave us control over our energy for the first time."
