The new generation of home and industrial batteries will be available this year. Dorchester, Massachusetts is the home of the first Tesla solar tile roof in the state and the second on the East Coast, according to Bert Bremer, the homeowner. SolarCity co-founder Peter Rive, Musk’s cousin, said the solar roofs could easily have a 5% share of the new roof market in a year or two. Although technically not shingles, these solar tiles from Tesla and Solarcity, look like traditional shingles and work very well with the house. The product will appeal to home builders and those looking to replace their roofs, Musk said, adding that the shingles would be more durable and have better insulation qualities than conventional roofing.

Tesla gave little detail on cost, except to say that the cost of the roof would be less than a conventional roof plus solar. They can be manufactured in a range of styles, which were demonstrated on the rooftops on the set. Tesla’s glass solar roof tiles would look far better than any similar product, Musk said. Just this year, Dow Chemical said it would stop selling a solar tile it launched five years ago.

Musk declined to answer a reporter’s question about how Tesla’s balance sheet would accommodate the acquisition of SolarCity.īy incorporating solar modules into rooftops, Tesla is hoping to succeed with a solar technology that to date has had little success. Having two separate companies “slows things down, makes them more expensive. The rollout of the product, expected as soon as next summer, would be “unwieldy” if the two companies are not combined, Musk said. If you installed a 7 kilowatt (kW) Tesla Solar Roof, the active shingles alone would cost 12,600 before any incentives are considered.

It costs about 1.80 per watt to install the active Solar Roof tiles. A vote on the acquisition is due on 17 November. Tesla’s active solar shingles are tempered glass shingles that contain solar cells and generate electricity.

Analysts have questioned the deal’s proposed synergies, with some suggesting the merger is a way for Tesla to rescue loss-making SolarCity. Made with tempered glass, Solar Roof tiles are more than three times stronger than standard roofing tiles. Musk is the biggest shareholder in both Tesla and SolarCity, which is run by two of his cousins. Experts from Tesla have defined the price of 21. The key is it needs to be beautiful, affordable and seamlessly integrated,” Musk said while showcasing the products on homes once used as the set for the US TV drama Desperate Housewives in Los Angeles. When considering solar panels, everything is about savings on electricity bills, payoff investment and free uses of electrical energy. An electric car, a Powerwall and a solar roof.
