Review of new solar roof on your Tesla?
- Thread starter sabcfly
- Start date
I only know of one company that is doing an official consumer product using 3rd party authorized installers or self install.
I’m unsure when this will actually be out and given the proposed costs $2200 + install you would have to keep your car an absurdly long time to break even compared to buying the power direct; especially since it maxes out at 500W or 16 miles/day under perfect conditions. It’s unclear about the extra 1500w that can be used on a fold out from the truck and how much that costs.
Last I checked the company was still trying to get up and running and get a product out.
It looks fun put largely impractical unless you have no other choice for power. Off grid camping for example - assuming you aren’t near any trees and can get sun exposure from up to down.
A separate solar generator system with fold up panels would be more practical but obviously can’t be used while driving.
