Catch up on the Tesla Solar Roof's performance and longevity, at the two year mark. Are solar shingles feasible? Will home batteries ever make sense? Has our power bill gone to zero?
I’ve been waiting for someone to show and tell the Tesla roof system since reading about the concept in the newspapers. Now I’m hoping that they switch to sodium ion batteries for the added safety features and lower cost. Thanks for posting this.😊❤
Thanks for the update, very informative. Those haters are hilarious, it's almost as if they don't like being independent generators of their own energy, which seems odd considering the other views they may hold.
Beautiful roof! I think I'd be more comfortable with a complete Tesla system solar electric roof and Powerwall batteries system rather than a likely cheaper, but piecemeal system of the same listed capabilities.
Tesla has a new market with the Cybertruck. With a solar roof, batteries and tesla truck you can live if the grid is out or just live off grid. This is sustainable for 15-20 years of having power and a vehicle.
great video backed with science. Hopefully solar becomes the norm in the future because it would truly make the world a much more efficient place. Not only could we power our homes, but also charge cars, semis, ships, etc.
I know for a fact that several passenger/vehicle ferries in Ontario Canada have converted to all electric propulsion and they are quite happy with the results.
You were lucky. I also ordered in the beginning (before prices increased), and worked with them for over a year, and then they just canceled my order one day. I had to start over with a third party and it's a lot more expensive.
We are waiting for the quote in our email after a consultation yesterday. High chance of being north of $150k. Could you tell your house square footage approximately please? I know it’s not a sensible comparison. Just kind of curious. Thanks for the video
Very nice and informative video. Third party installwrs are killing the expansion/growth of the solar roof business. I had a 36 kW quote this year (without a single powerwall) of over $271K! Completely absurd! Tesla needs to take back the quoting and contract phase and let the 3rd parties just do the installation only, if they want to see significant growth in this business.
Today Tesla offered me the opportunity to join its Virtual Power Plant to use my three Powerwalls in the next few months to earn (up to) ~$1,100. Each year SDGE pays me ~ 3 cents per kilowatt hour of my substantial excess production. I suspect Tesla will pay a bit more. I bet other viewers would appreciate your opinion on which is the best option. Care to opine, or make a video to explain these options?
I don't know enough about specific regions and their rates, but I definitely see the posts of VPP members and their huge reimbursement checks. I'd be surprised if any power company gave as good of deals as Tesla collectively bargaining on their network's behalf! I'm jealous! Recently out power company sent out a questionnaire, with one question asking what would get us to allow them control on when we export. I answered "about $3,000/year" based on what I saw from Tesla VPP in Texas.
I’m sure you are aware Tesla is an American company and makes their own batteries…if not, “Giga Nevada” Something tells me when you’re shopping at Walmart you don’t refuse to buy things made in China…just a hunch.
Just mentioned this to neighbor yesterday. It is down to about a little over $26k in un-recovered cost now that we're almost three years in. But I'd say the average project isn't on the average house they tend to be wild buildings.
I honestly don't get it. A $32k investment and you are only offsetting your ~$1.5k annual electric bill? Sounds like a case of diminishing returns to me... Imagine if you invested $30k into something else? Low risk ETF? Small business operation? 🤔
