Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk wasn\u2019t kidding when he said that the new Tesla solar roof product was better looking than an ordinary roof: the roofing replacement with solar energy gathering powers does indeed look great. It\u2019s a far cry from the obvious and somewhat weird\u00a0aftermarket panels you see applied to roofs after the fact today.<\/p>\n

The solar roofing comes in four distinct styles that Tesla presented at the event, including \u201cTextured Glass Tile,\u201d \u201cSlate Glass Tile,\u201d \u201cTuscan Glass Tile, and \u201cSmooth Glass Tile.\u201d Each of these achieves a different aesthetic look, but all resembled fairly closely a current roofing material style. Each is also transparent to solar, but appears opaque when viewed from an angle.<\/p>\n

\"0cf27641-f7f1-4ead-a8af-030e742088c9\"The current versions of the tiles actually have a two percent loss on efficiency, so 98 percent of what you\u2019d normally get from a traditional solar panel, according to Elon Musk. But the company is working with 3M on improved coatings that have the potential to possibly go above normal efficiency, since it could trap the light within, leading to it bouncing around and resulting in less energy loss overall before it\u2019s fully diffused.<\/p>\n

Of course, there\u2019s the matter of price: Tesla\u2019s roof\u00a0cost less than the full cost of a roof and electricity will be competitive or better than the cost of a traditional roof combined with the cost of electricity from the grid, Musk said. Tesla declined to provide specific pricing at the moment, since it will depend on a number of factor including installation specifics on a per home basis.<\/p>\n

    Standard roofing materials do not provide fiscal benefit back to the homeowner post-installation, besides improving the cost of the home. Tesla\u2019s product does that, by generating enough energy to fully power a household, with the power designed to be stored in the new Powerwall 2.0<\/a> battery units so that homeowners can keep a reserve in case of excess need.<\/p>\n

    The solar roof product should start to see installations by summer next year, and Tesla plans to start with one or two of its four tile options, then gradually expand the options over time. As they\u2019re made from quartz glass, they should last way longer than an asphalt tile \u2014 at least two or three times the longevity, though Musk later said \u201cthey should last longer than the house\u201d.<\/p>\n
