Tesla, led by Elon Musk, is the largest manufacturer of electric vehicles and energy storage solutions. They are also investing in space research and planning to sent unmanned space vehicles to Mars. Tesla Solar is the latest venture from Tesla to combine renewable energy generation and energy storage at individual level. In partnership with Solar City, Tesla is offering solar roofing for energy generation right on the roof!
Tesla Roofing is possible by installing the solar glass tiles on a roof and wiring the solar tiles to generate electricity. The generated electricity is connected to the Powerwall, a device to convert the energy from one form to other and store the energy. By connecting the Powerwall to the rest of the electrical appliances in the house, an individual can power the property without the hefty electric bill. The electricity from the Powerwall also can be used to charge the electric vehicles owned by an individual.
Tesla solar glass tiles installation can be customized according to your energy requirements. The glass tiles are tested and rated for Class 4 hail resistance, Class A fire resistance, Class F for high wind resistance, and the glass coating is tested for ASTM and European standards.
Roof Calculator by Tesla lets you check the pricing of the solar tiles installation based on your property requirements. You can chose the combination of non-solar tiles and solar tiles to adjust the energy production on your roof. All Tesla installations are by Solar City contractors. For now, the smooth and textured tiles can be ordered. Current markets are limited to the far east and far west states in the US. Tesla pans to expand the markets in future.
Tesla Solar requires heavy investment around $75, 000 for an average property. The investment is much more than traditional roofing and solar panel installation. However, for long term benefits and reducing carbon foot prints by fossil fuels, Tesla Solar is a creative method.
Roofing and home improvement are constant opportunities in the Quad Cities. Temporary and permanent residents are making QC their primary residence. Multiple residential and commercial constructions are on the rise in QC. Quad Cities are looking out for renewable energy sources to meet their energy demands. Quad Cities already have wind mills in place for energy generation such as Rockfalls Roofing. Tesla Solar might be the possible solution in Quad Cities owing to the large number of residential and commercial roofs in the area.
QC Tesla is a good combination because the residents are seeking latest methods to improve their properties. The solar glass tiles from Tesla have superior performance compared to the traditional shingles. In addition, they have inbuilt solar cells that convert the sun's energy to electric energy. The solar tiles are preferred to the solar panels because they are not as bulky as the solar panels. The solar cells are not visible for a person on the street but are exposed from above to access direct sunlight. This helps in providing a beautiful curb appeal to Quad City properties and also results in renewable energy generation.
QC Tesla also might be an opportunity for property owners to get energy rebates from the respective counties. By installing the Tesla Solar, Quad cities are reducing the carbon emissions and reducing the dependency on fossil fuels. QC Tesla is a good opportunity for the large number of manufacturing centers in the area that can benefit from the investment.
QC Tesla is primarily dependent on the sun's energy. Due to the cold winters and thunderstorms in the area, Quad Cities is less likely to see sun rays that can generate the solar energy. If the solar tiles do not receive enough sunlight, they are unable to generate power. Also, during winter, the roofs are covered with several inches of snow, which in turn gives less sun's access to the solar tiles.
QC Tesla also might be a problem for average home owner due to the heavy investment. In case of a roof repair or roof replacement, property owners must check with their home insurance if the solar roofs are covered. Due to the frequent thunderstorms in the Quad Cities, the solar tiles may fall off the roof that will disconnect the electrical wiring. The dependency on the electrician to install or repair the QC Tesla roofs is also a big roadblock.
QC Tesla might be possible if the entire community decide to install Tesla Solar so every property can contribute and leverage electricity from the grid. The solar tiles are bought directly from Tesla and their distributors. QC Tesla is possible if a distributor is willing to ship the solar tiles to the region. Then, the solar installer, roofer, and electrician must coordinate with the property owner. The installation must be as per the manufacturer and local building codes in order for any warranty to be applicable. Tesla solar tiles are tested for high wind resistance and high impact resistance. But, the performance may be unpredictable in the Quad Cities due to the cold weather, extreme moisture, and high humidity due to the Mississippi river.
