Tesla Shingle Solar Panel. The Tesla Solar Roof is a building-integrated photovoltaic BIPV product that functions as both a roofing material and a photovoltaic solar panel system. A home with Tesla roof shingles installed would have both a protective and complete roof and the capacity to generate solar energy but without installing solar panels as well.
The actual cost of a Tesla solar roof will depend on the size of your home and your monthly energy usage. That would make it a closer pricing comparison. In 2020 Tesla even updated its solar offering with a new more efficient solar panel and reduced pricing.
Their app allows you to track usage and energy production.
Each shingle or tile contains 14 high-efficiency monocrystalline silicon solar cells that provide a power rating of 60 watts per solar shingle CertainTeed says. Teslas active solar roofing tiles cost 201 per watt and the inactive shingles cost 765 per square foot. Recently Tesla partnered with Solar City to provide innovative solar roofing systems. Now the company is returning deposits that it started taking as long as three years ago.
