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. However, given the cost we are trying to decide if it is better to replace with conventional roof and solar panels (not sure if Tesla can do a system bigger than the extra large) or do the solar roof. Also, Tesla said they are working on getting wind certification for the solar roof to meet our counties requirements and they hope to have that by the the time permitting needs to start. They said they think they will get 170mph cert but our county needs 145 I think. Also a bit concerned about being such an early adopter. Have been encouraged by some folks that have posted YouTube videos about solar roof. Any members in Florida that have had a solar roof installed? Thoughts about pros and cons?
