![]() You can visit Tesla’s website to see if they could work for your house or business, but solar and energy storage prices are highly dependent on your market (electricity cost, gov incentives, etc.) and your property. Tesla’s new residential solar and energy storage solutions are quite innovative. Musk refused to give details about pricing, but said that it will be competitive with traditional roof and solar systems. The company is taking orders right now for the solar roof, but Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that installations will start during summer 2017. We took a look at the Powerwall 2 here: Tesla Powerwall 2 is a game changer in home energy storage: 14 kWh w/ inverter for $5,500 Especially if it’s combined with a home battery pack like Tesla’s new Powerwall 2. Those roofs are capable of generating enough energy to significantly reduce your monthly utility bills or even completely end them. Here’s a look at a street angle (left) versus a birdseye view (right) of the same solar roof tiles: The focus was on aesthetic while making as little compromise as possible of efficiency. Tesla CEO Elon Musk claims that the company’s solar roof could last 2-3 times longer than traditional roofs. According to the company, the difference is a small price to pay since the price of the system will be competitive with a regular roof when accounting for energy savings. Tesla says that the system can achieve 98% of the efficiency of a standard solar cell despite being a more complex system for being integrated with the roof. The company is using a high-efficiency solar cell, which will be manufactured by Panasonic, covered with a “color louver film”, which allows cells to blend into the roof while exposing them to the sun above, and finally a tempered glass on top for durability. Tesla’s new solar technology enabled the company to develop not one, but four different solar roof products that look like conventional and modern roof types: Textured Glass Tile, Slate Glass Tile, Tuscan Glass Tile, and Smooth Glass Tile. ![]()
