We are already producing daily kWh above my initial expectations for this time of year, and I believe it could be due to us having updated tiles that may not have been considered in Tesla’s initial estimates for the project. “Our system size is 9.17kW, with Tesla estimating we will produce 4,171 kWh/yr. ![]() On January 25, 2022, I received this update from co-owner Sam Wagner: Seems to me that Little House Brewing could be just one errant squirrel away from that dream becoming reality. “The ideal scenario is all of Chester is dark, Little House is lit up, people are drinking beer, which will pay for that roof real fast.” A highlight to cap off this fun event was when Sam shared his real dream: What a great opportunity to see this installation so up close and personal, with the co-owner telling great stories about his reasons for going with a Tesla Solar Roof on a building made in 1836! He also confessed his bias toward Tesla’s products that goes way back, pre-ordering his beloved Model 3 many years ago. You can see the PV cells outlined in white cover almost every usable part of the roof. Straight-to-the-point answers, and lots of them!

Upon hearing that there was a group event arranged by the Connecticut Green Building Council that included a Tesla Solar Roof Site Tour of Little House Brewing Company, I immediately registered my wife and me. Hey folks! I am one of the owners/brewers, and spearheaded this project… Do you want me to be there, or? Didn't know this was happening lol □ĮV Club of Connecticut's (from Wethersfield) will be there, would love to meet as many of you that were involved as possible! I then stopped into this Little House Brewing Company business below the apartment to ask if I could meet with the owner someday, and a super kind employee got me in touch via email. So you can imagine what a pleasant surprise it was when I learned that Tesla Solar Roof was recently installed on a prominent building in the heart of very walkable Chester, Connecticut, a mere half-hour drive away from my Connecticut home!
