As was mentioned earlier, solar shingles are gaining traction nowadays. And the primary reason for that is because of the Tesla Solar Roof, a product announced by Tesla back in October 2016 and first released in 2018.
Technically, Tesla is not the first company to launch a solar roof product. The development of solar roof tiles and solar shingles has been ongoing for a couple of years now. The only reason why it’s Tesla that’s broadening this conversation is because of the company’s revolutionary innovation, which is the production of a solar system that is a roof first.
BIPV solutions have indeed been around for some time, but it is still a relatively new concept to have a complete solar roof. Hence, the popularity of the Tesla Solar Roof.
Tesla solar shingles might be worth it if there is a need to build or renovate an entire roof, which will eventually pay off for itself. For homeowners with new roofs, this can be an extremely high initial investment in solar power. Therefore, built-in solar shingles to suit any roof covering could be a more affordable option.
Homeowners should know that Tesla solar shingles are mostly covering 35% of the roof, and the rest 65% of the roof consists of matching Tesla’s non-solar shingles. Tesla emphasizes the solid structure of its solar tiles, which are 3x more durable than standard roofing tiles. This bold statement can be decisive if you are looking for a long-lasting roof covering that will improve your home budget.
Moreover, Tesla reported that its Solar Roof is made of quartz and that it is offered in four designs: Tuscan glass tile, slate glass tile, textured glass tile, and smooth glass tile. With these four designs, Tesla will be able to make progress in both the solar industry and the roofing industry and offer competitive advantages for both.
