Tesla has released a giant new version of its latest home solar system – a 15.4 kW solar system suitable for 4,000+ sq ft homes. Tesla also recently launched the third version of its solar roof tiles and started to ramp-up installations.
Tesla has launched the third iteration of its solar roof tile for residential home use. On balance, the Solar Roof provides more energy generation than a similarly sized roof retrofitted with traditional tiles.
Starting in 2020, all new homes in California will be required to incorporate advanced efficiency measures and rooftop solar — in an historic development for clean energy in the state.
Recently, the company revealed the cost of the eco-friendly solar tiles, and they have a price tag of just $21.85 per square foot. That’s nearly 20 percent less than a normal roof.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that its Solar Roof is ready for order.
CME Director Bruce Mountain calculated Australian homes with rooftop solar panels and a Tesla Powerwall 2.0 are cost-competitive against grid power sources.
Elon Musk finally unveiled the Tesla/SolarCity solar roof that integrates photovoltaics with roof covering for a seamless product that looks better and costs less over time than traditional roofs.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk says October 28 is the date of the planned launch for the Tesla/SolarCity solar roof and integrated Powerwall 2.0.
Can Elon Musk revolutionize the way we think about roofs too? He certainly hopes so.
