Solar shingles, or solar roof tiles, are made of slim photovoltaic (PV) sheets that either overlay or replace the existing shingles on a roof. They absorb sunlight and convert it into
Solar shingles or tiles perform as roofing material for your home. The main idea is to combine the solar cells with the roof sheathing rather than mounting solar modules on top of the shingles. Solar shingle''s basic principle works just the same as with conventional solar panels.
Also known as solar shingles or solar tiles, this is an alternative to traditional rooftop solar panels – instead of placing panels on top of your existing roof, you can replace your roof shingles or tiles with a dual-purpose photovoltaic roofing material that both provides shelter and generates electricity.
Install Solar Roof and power your home with a fully integrated solar and energy storage system. The glass solar tiles and steel roofing tiles look great up close and from the street, complementing your home''s natural styling. Schedule a virtual consultation with a Tesla Advisor to learn more.
Solar tiles are integrated into the roof itself and function as both a roofing substance and a source of energy, as opposed to conventional solar panels, which are mounted on top of an existing roof. Photovoltaic cells in solar tiles turn sunlight into direct current (DC) energy.
Our solar tiles are manufactured with the highest quality PERC monocrystalline photovoltaic cells to maximize the efficiency of your roof.
When sunlight hits the photovoltaic (PV) tiles in your Solar Roof, it is absorbed by solar cells, creating a flow of electric current. This direct current (DC) energy is then sent to your solar inverter, which converts it to the alternating
Tesla Solar Roof is designed to maximize your roof''s energy production without compromising the aesthetics of your home. Solar Roof is constructed with a combination of glass solar tiles and architectural-grade steel tiles. Each tile is
Solar shingles are thin photovoltaic (PV) sheets that can replace or lay on top of existing roof shingles. The technology, also known as solar roof tiles, was pioneered by Dow Chemical and further innovated by Tesla.
The Tesla Solar Roof system is a building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) product that takes the functionality of solar panels and integrates it into roof shingles. A home with Tesla solar roof tiles would have a protective and complete roof capable of generating solar energy.
