When you hear the name Tesla, you probably think of battery-powered automobiles as most people do. Did you know that Tesla has also introduced other energy-saving products, including energy producing solar roofs? Now in full production for roof services to install on your home, Tesla Solar began offering its photovoltaic roofing systems to the public in May 2017. If you are looking for a green and highly durable alternative to conventional materials and frequent roof repairs, these solar panel systems might be the perfect choice.
Reinventing the Solar Panel
With the goal of providing more ways to conserve energy and reduce the carbon impact that civilization has had on the earth, Tesla Solar released a roofing product designed to eventually revolutionize the way homes are built. These roofs are said to be more efficient than other photovoltaic products currently available and are durable, attractive, and eventually will be more cost-effective for homeowners.
They have been designed by using improved solar technology and incorporating Tesla’s well-proven home batteries. Tesla Solar roofing systems are currently available both as panels that can be installed by roof services as a replacement system on existing roofs and systems integrated during home construction.
Solar Glass As Strong As Steel
Tesla chairman Elon Musk unveiled the new Tesla Solar products in October 2016 in a unique demonstration of suburban homes equipped with these roofs. Mr. Musk stated that they are made of tempered glass that is said to be “as strong as steel” with a “quasi-infinite lifetime.” Since durability is a prime concern with many other photovoltaic products, this is an important improvement.
They are available in numerous panel, tile, and shingle types for both commercial and residential installations. These panels are unbreakable and will dramatically reduce the need for roof repairs. The solar glass elements are made from quartz; they are crush and impact resistant as well as nearly indestructible when properly installed by qualified roof services. To back up this claim, the company confidently offers an “infinite warranty” on its solar glass products.
How Do They Look?
Besides the challenge of generating enough energy to power a home which Tesla Solar products do more efficiently than many other products, there is also the issue of aesthetic appeal. Many people find currently available solar panels and shingles to be unsightly and too distinctive when installed on their homes. Tesla Solar understands this concern and has also revolutionized the look of photovoltaic roofing.
The Tesla systems are almost impossible to differentiate from conventional ones and designed to be as attractive and natural looking as the materials they mimic. The Tesla Solar glass shingles look just like any other roof and are available in four styles for residential use:
- Tuscan tile
- Smooth shingles
- Textured shingles
- Slate shingles
Best of all, they are virtually indestructible, should rarely if ever require roof repair, will not decompose over time, and their appearance will not fade or decline over the years.
The next time you find yourself facing roof repair or think you need a new installation altogether, consider this groundbreaking new option in energy-efficient, photovoltaic roofs. The Tesla Solar roofing system strives to do what no other product can do. Installed by skilled solar roof services, Tesla Solar systems give you the most advantages over any other residential product. You gain the ability to generate clean energy to power your home, attractive looks, and a durable product that is guaranteed for life!
