I think what the homeowner said regarding energy awareness is key. Does not matter if you have the solar roof or not, knowing how much electricity you use is crucial.
Knowing what and how much energy a device uses is useless unless you produce the energy yourself or have different prices at different times as you can't say you'll save energy by not cooking in the evening but in the middle of the day. You may save money but not energy from the grid.
I'm a huge fan of this setup and technology, but how is it crucial to monitor your energy usage? I'm sure there are some people who waste a lot of electricity and could improve, but generally speaking there's not a whole lot you can adjust. If you have a smart thermostat and efficient appliances, then there's not much else to do. I've watched my energy consumption and it's kind of a non-actionable metric other than just switching appliances. For example, I need to use my laundry machine and dishwasher, and I need to keep the lights on when I'm working on something. I don't see how you can really make any noticeable impact on these essential things.
I've had an unprecedented (for me) three electricity blackouts so far this month. My indoor lights flicker for about half a second before the Powerwalls kick in, and it's as if nothing happened. In most cases, I only know about the power outages because I can see a list of them, and their durations, in the Tesla app.
@@KrustyKlown If you take the cost for an entire roof and then a photovoltaic system together, its not bad. You also use the space on your roof more efficiently.
Solar should power our entire society, because solar powers the planet itself. Life evolved and expanded on this planet using solar power. It is beyond stupid to use all sort of fuels, when the sun gives free energy.
I got the powerwall two weeks ago and yes, power awerness is the most important benefit that came with it. Even in the middle of winter, learning to use my energy, I’m able to get to 100% self-powering.
Installed a 12kw solar panel system on our primary home in AZ back in 2016 (from Solar City which became Tesla). It paid for itself in Q4 of 2022 (a year ago) still have 23 years of a full warranty on the solar panel system. Figure that during those next 23 years it should save us about $70k in electricity. Powers a 4k sq ft home where it can get to 115 degrees out in summer but keep it at 72 degrees indoors year-round. Also now powers a Tesla Model Y LR (74kw battery for 330 miles of range, 7-seater). Planning to add another 12kw system on guest wing next year with batteries (possibly for a VPP) mainly for an eventual cybertruck and for some backyard development.
@@USNEM They are solar panels (not the singles). The house was built in 2006 but a freak 1 in 1000 year storm hit in 2015 (huge hail stones) and destroyed all the roofs in our neighborhood. Insurance covered re-roofing our house after the storm so the roof is still fairly new (from 2015). Tesla charges $400 to remove the 48 solar panels and put them on a new home if we want them moved to another property we own but for now happy to have them on the main home. The roof is a flat roof (elastomer) with parapets so neighbors can't see the panels and roof is pretty large as it also encompasses a 4 car garage so roof space is about 5000 sq feet and can accommodate more panels easily.
Holy moly. Tesla Roof, Power Packs at home. EV Cars, Trucks, and Semi's. Starlink for home internet. Your Space travels from SpaceX. Even your Social Media with X (Since, X will be upgraded soon with more features like online payment) Elon, helped develop Paypal before too. They also have Robots in place to probably aid us at home or work. Damn, Elon is really taking over the world at this point. I believe he also has plans for a mobile phone. That hasn't been seen yet, but I only have good faiths for this man. He is doing a great job for mankind
@@johnp.weiksnar6861 Since Neuralink needs to be small and have low power consumption, the bulk of it's compute, transceivers and batteries will be off loaded to your belt(,purse or pocket).
@@edistefi3925He didn't say when, so "liar" isn't true! I said I was going to make a coffee table, even tho I haven't yet, I still want to, it doesn't make Me a liar either though.
Here in the UK there are literally thousands of new houses being built every year, yet hardly ANY come with solar. There's massive ( by UK standards ) warehousing, again hardly ANY have solar roofs. In the next breath, we're being told hundreds of acres of land are being taken over by solar farms. How hard can it be for those in power to see the logic in putting solar on roof space and NOT take up farming land.
WARM, HEALTHY, KIND HOLIDAYS ! HAPPY, COMPASSIONATE & SUCCESSFUL NEW YEAR MMXXIIII ! from Wesley Community Centers of Savannah, Inc. and Lady Bamford Center THANK YOU !🙂
Energy awareness is key, I have solar and I am electrician. I can tell you what everything in the house draws and the associated cost per hour, which gives my a massive advantage, I have storage hot water that I have on a smart timer so I can maximise self consumption. I have not paid for electricity in over 3 years now and I don’t even have a battery.
I called the 3rd party referred on the Tesla website. They recommended not using the solar roof, and go for solar panels. They also recommended “cheaper options” than powerwalls, which I found hilarious as Tesla referred me to them. I really wanted solar tiles, so I decided to not proceed forward. I think something is broken in how they scale their business, at least in the Pacific Northwest.

In our US state, the TSLA solar division has 1-star reviews online for years now. A few years ago when we considered it, the TSLA price beat competitors, but there were just too many negative reviews online to merit considering it. Please, focus on making every single TSLA solar office worthy of 5-star reviews online. The product will then sell itself.
Hey Elon how about wind energy on houses. Where I live it sun not the whole year available but wind is there always. Do you also have plans for wind energy maybe something on the top of your roof. I love to see that next update. Keep making the cuter greener and with more nature.
Depending on where you live, energy companies can force a max number of solar panels you can have depending on past usage calculations, which may not be sufficient. A “whole-roof-replacement” is treated differently than a “roof-addition” legally so they would have no say if you do the whole roof
@@ReiujiUtsuhoOkuu you're right, "your mileage may vary" depending on where you are, but when I ordered Tesla Solar Roof, the local utility mandated it have no more capacity than 110% of my monthly usage. That meant Tesla would spec dummy tiles on parts of the roof! The shingles would look almost identical, but generate no power. Time to take up pottery and put in a pool heater or two. . . . 😀
i wish solar roof will be a more stream line product for existing homes.. when i was shopping for solar in the bay area, the solar roof wait was more than a year.. ended up going for solar panels and powerwalls instead.
Like most of the products Tesla makes, they take time but the wait is worth it. It’s hard for an innovative company to design, manufacture, vertically integrate, mass produce, and deliver products that no one else is willing to tackle.
Easiest when a large number can be done at once, which is why this video focuses on a development. Fewer unique permitting requirements etc. Doing individual homes all over the place was eating them alive in costs as in the US almost every jurisdiction has some local variations that had to be factored in... each costing time and money. If a state were to just own this totally and create the grand unified single solar code and all someone had to do was post a small bond that they were following it, an inspector came to confirm completion and power company was obligated to to allow the connect/disconnect config - you'd see volumes of solar to existing homes skyrocket.
