Tesla s solar roof tiles which are designed to look just like normal roof tiles when installed on a house while doubling as solar panels to generate power are something of a work in progress. Tesla estimates that a 10kw solar roof will cost a total of 33 950 including incentives. This estimate was made based on a roof made of 35 percent solar tiles. If tesla s solar roof is able to meet home power needs because customers are able to install the tiles on a larger proportion of the homeowner s roof then the importance of efficiency falls away compared to the effectiveness of the product.

Solar roof replaces your existing roof and brings it to life with beautiful solar tiles that can power your home for decades with the energy you produce. Tesla recommends 21 85 per square foot based on 35 percent.
