"We've had both a Tesla battery (with blackout protection) and a supporting solar array installed by Essential Solar. On both occasions, always professional, courteous, protective of our property and left everything immaculate. Dusan in particular was patient and effective in leading us oldies through the performance and operating processes of the new system. Away from the site, Jessica is so professional, if something needs to be done she will get it done, just terrific.
