In 2016, Elon Musk presented a new product that may someday change the way we power our homes — it’s called Solar Roof.
Solar Roof is the brainchild of the Tesla-owned company, SolarCity. Unlike traditional solar panels, which are bulky and attach to your current roof, Solar Roof is designed to look like traditional roofing shingles.
Partnered with a battery pack called the Tesla Power Wall, homes can use power generated from the sun at night.
Solar Roof became available for pre-order on May 10. After a $1,000 deposit, Solar Roof will cost homeowners around $21.85 per square foot.

awesome
shut up and take my money
He’s done it again.
Musk changing the world.
Fat bastard
Stupid. Traditional solar panels are cheap but the waterproof housings are expensive, Elon just found a way to put solar panel prices back upto 90s prices.
Old stuff. Why post such video?
Sorry, but the video told me nothing. How for instance are they going to be connected to a system, how does the system function, are the tiles connections guaranteed to last as long as the tiles, etc etc. .???
thank you Elon Musk for moving forward when the American government is moving backwards.
ok Elon, now come back to South Africa and bring all that back here with you 🙂
That’s promising. Bravo Elon, the real Tony Stark 🙂
Thank you Elon for make technologies real and useful
Elon Musk is husk.
So little information in so much time.
A pure corporate vanity piece.
Suck my musky balls, you rich ass bitch.
Everything we know about Elon: He’s fat.
Pitty nobody young can actually afford a home. Let along buy a new roof.
This makes me want to play sims again
I don’t think people understand how revolutionary this is. Also, are the panels hail proof?
Tesla needs to develop a bra for its creator.
ps thank you for helping save the planet. Now work harder!
If it’s glass, won’t it break in hail? And I wonder if you could walk on it, not that you NEED to. Just wonder if it could hold your weight or if it’s too slippery
This is amazing and I can’t wait until they are affordable!
Take away the federal tax credits & this kind of charlatan ceases to exist. It’s all nice & “planet friendly”… but it’s all a ruse. Elon Musk is the greatest snake-oil salesman ever born.
The good life is making Elon chubby.
beautifully packaged solution
I believe it’s actually supposed to be cheaper than regular roofs before the savings on electricity.
Who is better Elon or James Dyson?
