Solar Roof

I am in the process of painting the exterior of the house that currently has solar roof installed approx. 2 years ago. Are there an roof anchor points on the solar roof where the painter can safely secure himself? If not, what are other options? There are aluminum flashings around the edges...

I have a 15.1kW Solar Roof that was powered on March 1, 2021 in a West suburb of Chicago. My peak production in my first summer was about 13+kWh and I was able to store some credit for winter. Once winter hit, my production was virtually nothing and I ate through my credits before December. In...

Hello fellow Tesla Solar fans! I am in a unique situation and I'm thinking this is the best place to post this - I apologize if this is the wrong place. I had a Tesla Solar Roof installed in December 2020 and I am currently in the process of having an addition put on my house. As a result, the...

Do you want Tesla to offer Solar Roof option on their cars? After all, skip the middleman and go direct from sun to moving. HUGE caveat: the amount of energy gained is tiny compared to what a EV uses to move, its usefulness will be very minimal. On the flip side, the Solar energy collected will...

I've had my solar roof installation completed 9 weeks ago now and Tesla reps literally will NOT send the job completion document to my utility so i can fill out the net-metering form. Utility is waiting on the document before i can get the net-metering form, and need net-metering form before i...

Is there a good way to clear snow? My region only gets snow a week or two on my solar panels, so it's not a huge concern, but still it drives me nuts, those solar panels sitting there useless under 2" of snow for a couple days at a time.

Hello everyone, I am looking to get a Tesla solar roof. However, my HOA needs to see a solar roof sample before they approve. No one that I know has the tesla solar roof. Do the Tesla stores have the sample? Or has anyone gotten the solar roof in Sacramento? thank you,

Am going to journal my experience with our Solar Roof install in this thread. Context: Ordered back in Feb 2020. Then Covid hit and the permitting process with the city went dark. Eventually around September the permits came through and Tesla scheduled the install start date for 11/5/2020...

so cool that these are just made down the road, nice work Tesla!! Tesla Quietly Donates Solar Roof to Buffalo Heritage Carousel - TeslaNorth.com

Hi All, HOA declined our solar roof last week and I was wondering if anyone had any experience around this? Not sure if it's worth appealing or just cancelling the order. The reason given was that the roof has to be "weathered wood" asphalt even though there's a clause for solar shingles and...

We got a system design for a Solar Roof install in the Tampa, FL area. The final design is a 26.55 KW system with 4405 sq ft of roof. Total cost is 95,011.14 without any power walls (Cost breakdown below). Our dimensional shingle roof is near the end of its life so we need to replace the roof...

I've been struggling with this for months. I'm absolutely an over analyzer and have been driving my wife crazy by waffling back and forth on the two options below: Context: Just bought a house, roof is in bad shape, installing solar in Southern California. South face roof with a slope...

I'm in the early planning stages of a house rebuild and we're considering a solar glass roof right from the get go. Our objective is to cover the cost of construction through a construction-to-permanent loan, where when the construction is done, this loan rolls over into a traditional mortgage...

Tesla hints at the capability to produce enough Solar Roof tiles for up to 1,000 homes per week. Tesla boasted yesterday that its Giga New York plant (also known as Gigafactory 2) built 4 MW of Solar Roof tiles last week. We assume that it’s the total volume, produced at the plant in Buffalo...

Tesla’s solar business got some shine last week when the company reported an increase in deployments and the launch of a new version of its solar roof. “So all in all, the roadmap for energy products from solar, Solar Roof, Powerwall to Megapack is super exciting, and I expect Tesla Energy to...

Walmart is suing Tesla after solar panels at seven stores allegedly caught fire, according to a court filing. Walmart also claims Tesla “routinely deployed individuals to inspect the solar systems who lacked basic solar training and knowledge.” “Tesla’s personnel did not know, for example...

FYI - Tesla just announced a new monthly rental program for home solar panels. 3 levels - $50, $100, & $150 per month. Not a lease - Tesla handles all installation costs. Maybe car charging systems and power walls are next logical rental step to help generate solar use? Tesla launches...

A report from Reuters says most of the solar cells made by Panasonic at Tesla’s Buffalo, New York manufacturing plant are being sent to the Philippines to supply an eco-homebuilder. Reuters reported on May 15 that Panasonic planned to ship most cells from the plant overseas because of low...

I wrote up a guide to distill my thinking around where Tesla is today, and where they need to go in order to make Tesla Energy an impactful business line. Would love to hear your thoughts! Tesla Energy And Elon Musk's Sustainable Future

Hi. Been following this forum for a few months now, decided it's time to make my first post. Tesla just finished my roof work on Tuesday, city final inspection is scheduled for next week, and then there's the wait for PTO from PG&E. So there's still at least a few weeks before it will be...

Just got this referral prize but I have no use for it. This gives you early access priority solar roof installation. NOT solar panel, solar roof. Asking $500 or Trade for a Kids Model S code.

Hi all, I live in North San Jose, CA my roof size is roughly 2000 sqft recently I had a roof check with eastmanroofing.com and they said I should do a roof maintenance for $1800 to fix cracks and debris, etc. I always want to install Solar roof, but you know, Tesla is SLOW on production...

Hi there, I just found out that I missed the updated referral by a day, and instead of being able to get a nice black wall charger, I instead get a Solar Roof token instead. My roof doesn't need to be replaced for many years, so willing to give this to someone. Would love to trade for a...

Hi there! I am looking to buy a Tesla Solar Roof token from the referal program to move up in line. Can anyone help me? Best Regards Jeppe

Two different people from two different solar companies who both sell Tesla Powerwall have told me that Tesla Solar Roof does not meet the 2014 NEC and so cannot be installed in states that have adopted 2014. However, California has adopted 2014 and I believe Ohio has as well which are the two...

Hey, I sent an email to the above address about wether or not the Solar Roof could go on a multi-family building. Still no response. Should I keep waiting, send them a follow up email, or something else? Also, if you have an answer to my question please comment below! Thank you

All I'm now up to 3 referrals and only about 100 days to go. Really keen to get my hands on a PW2, so if anyone waiting to place an order is interested in my early access to a Solar Roof token (not in my hands yet though...) in exchange for using my referral code then I'd be very happy to...

For those who aren't familiar with the Tesla referral program, one of the prizes that Tesla offers for a referral is an Early Access Token for Solar Roof. While I think the Solar Roof is pretty cool, I just don't need a new roof and am happy to give the token to someone who uses my referral link...

I suggest we have a tread for more detailed discussions of the Solar Roof product. TMC discussions have revealed that consumers may have difficulty properly valuing a solar roof. Consequently, Tesla investors may well have difficulty valuing this product line as well. So there is much that needs...

Donald Trump claims that he will surround himself with the best people.... if that is true then he needs to meet with Elon Musk to discuss Climate Change. If you haven't already you can check out the petition at change.org; Donald Trump: Get Elon Musk to meet with Donald Trump and discuss...
