Client Story - Jameson Family
How the Jameson Residence Slashed Their Power Bills with Solar & Tesla Powerwall
When Dorian and his fiancée Jeanette first considered solar power, their goal was simple: to future-proof their home for retirement while cutting down on electricity costs. Now, thanks to their investment in a Smart Solar system with a Tesla Powerwall , their power bills have plummeted from $450 - $550 per month to under $20 a month.
The Smart Investment That Paid Off
As an accountant, Dorian was quick to recognize the financial advantages of solar. With a return on investment of just 3-4 years, he saw the value in reducing their dependence on the grid while making use of Contact Energy’s free power window from 9pm to midnight. Their Tesla Powerwall automatically charges during this period, ensuring they have stored energy ready to use the following day.
Maximizing Savings & Energy Independence
The couple, who live in a 220m² home in St Albans, are high-energy users, running a spa, sauna, and multiple heat pumps. Despite consuming up to 9kW at peak times, their solar system and battery storage solution have dramatically cut their energy costs—saving them $4,000 to $5,000 annually.
Why They Love Their Powerwall
Flexibility in Energy Use – They can store and use power when they need it most.
Backup Power Security – They remain powered during grid outages.
User-Friendly Technology – The system is easy to manage and monitor.
A Seamless Experience with Smart Solar
The Jameson Residence first installed a 5.07kW solar system with Smart Solar in November 2022. Pleased with the results, they expanded their setup in August 2024, adding another 1.64kW of solar panels alongside their Powerwall. Dorian commended Smart Solar’s installation team, emphasizing their professionalism and efficiency.
