REC Solar Panels + Tesla Powerwall 3 Installation
Challenge
As a touring musician, Joel Smallbone needed a home that stayed online even when he wasn’t. Regular power outages in the Nashville area disrupted electronics and home systems, forcing time-consuming resets after every tour.
Solution
Phoenix Exteriors provided a smart solar solution designed for both reliability and performance. They installed 20 premium REC solar panels paired with two Tesla Powerwall 3 batteries, delivering backup energy to keep the house running smoothly through any outage.
Results
With 10,600 kWh of energy produced annually, Joel now enjoys uninterrupted power and peace of mind—no more returning from tour to offline systems.
Impact
The solar installation solved the immediate challenge of power reliability and contributes meaningfully to sustainability by significantly reducing household carbon emissions.
Annual Impact:
- 10,600 kWh of clean energy produced
- 4.4 metric tons of CO₂ emissions avoided
- Equivalent to planting ~110 trees every year
