Tesla Certified

Certified to install Tesla Energy.

Powerwall, solar, Wall Connector, and the Tesla Home software that ships with every Powerwall. DES is the Tesla Certified Installer. Tesla designs the products and Tesla Home / Opticaster—we put them on the building and bring them live.

A whole-home Tesla energy system: Solar Roof, Powerwall storage, and Wall Connector charging. DES is a Tesla Certified Installer of these products.

What certification means

Not a sticker. A trained path from order to live system.

Trained on Tesla Energy products

Certified installer teams follow Tesla installation, commissioning, and documentation standards—not a generic battery or charger playbook.

One electrical partner

Panel upgrades, service capacity, backup loads, and charging can be scoped together instead of handing you between trades.

Field-first engineering

DES comes from industrial power work. That shows up in how we size, protect, and document residential and commercial energy systems.

Clear ownership after install

You get a defined path from quote to startup. Tesla app and Tesla Home handoff are part of closeout, not an afterthought.

Tesla Home

The operating system that comes with every Powerwall.

Tesla Home is Tesla’s home energy management system. It ships standard with every Powerwall and is powered by Opticaster, Tesla’s AI optimization software. DES installs and commissions the hardware so Tesla Home can run—we did not build Tesla Home or Opticaster.

Tesla Home comes standard in every Powerwall. When DES commissions your system, the Tesla app is part of closeout—not a separate product sale.

Where Tesla and the local utility offer a program, Powerwall owners can participate in Virtual Power Plant events in Tesla Home. The app can prepare for a grid event—charging the battery to support the grid and maximize payout—and you can opt out from Home Status. DES installs the system that enables this. Tesla operates Tesla Home, Opticaster, and VPP.

Tesla Home app (Tesla software): live monitoring and Virtual Power Plant status. DES installs Powerwall so Tesla Home can run; DES did not build this app.

Set your goal

In the Tesla app, prioritize savings or solar self-consumption. Set Backup Reserve so a slice of the battery stays ready for outages.

Maximize savings

Opticaster analyzes household usage, solar production, and utility prices, then times charging and discharge around that goal.

Monitor your system

See the day as it unfolds—solar, battery, home load, grid, and the car. Change preferences anytime without a truck roll.
