Building Green: The Crognale Family’s Solar-Powered Money Saver

Ever wondered what it’s really like to power an all-electric dream home with the sun? In our latest customer spotlight, the Crognale family walks you through their brand-new, 3,500-square-foot home—complete with a heated pool, spa, EV charger, and two Tesla Powerwalls 3s, and why they chose to partner with Sun Valley Solar Solutions. 

Highlights you’ll see in the video

• Clean design, serious performance – A custom rooftop array paired with two Tesla Powerwall 3s keeps the home cool and comfortable, even during outages.
• Day-one savings – After just one “utility-only” month, the family saw how quickly solar slashed their electric bill—and haven’t looked back since.
• Hands-on energy control – The Tesla app lets them monitor production, schedule heavy loads, and geek out on daily stats.
• A seamless install – From design tweaks to final inspection, Sun Valley’s dedicated project manager kept the homebuilder and homeowners in sync every step of the way.
• Advice for fence-sitters – “The technology improves every year, the expertise is out there—definitely explore it,” they urge fellow homeowners.

Why it matters

With utility rates climbing and Arizona’s sunshine at record highs, solar plus storage isn’t just eco-friendly—it’s a rock-solid financial play. The Crognales’ story shows how smart planning and the right partner can turn an ambitious all-electric blueprint into a net-zero reality.
