Recently I saw in a nat geo documentary that Florida 'S government is hand in hand with utility companies to prevent solar panel installation by skyrocketing their prices
True that, but they are trying hard in Nevada, and Florida to wash out Elon's style of solar company. total BS. The US can do 100 percent green energy, proven science. Everyone check out the great researchers who put together the website called, *The Solutions Project!*
Am I the only one who really likes the way he does his presentations? I feel like they are more natural. He isn't an overenthusiastic salesman selling us products that underdeliver.
Eric Mezenberg well...I think Musk himself said that their main goal isnt making money..its to push other companies into expanding into electric cars(and I assume now solar energy) the more competition the better the results and the faster the technology improves..look at smart phones..Iphone wouldnt have done half of what it has if andriod wasnt always on its heels(more often than not introducing new features years before) and andriods wouldnt look so sleek and nice if apple haddent already set the stage for what consumers want in a smart phone design..in the end we as consumers win. If the same happens with electric cars, sure tesla wont make as much money..and they cant rely on their older tech to get by..but we will be given more options for electric cars and the tech will imrpove much faster..I think thats Telsas goal and considering the man they named the company after it seems appropriate..
holy jesus the future is looking friendly. I grew up afraid that the world would be under the thumb of energy companies forever and this sort of utopian future of free energy and independence could only be found in science fiction and your own imagination. Imagine what the world would be like if Tesla didn't exist... actually, I'd rather not.
Sarita Bohannon oh jesus here we go. tesla is NOT doing it out of generosity. musk studied the energy market, saw a way to (probably) do it better and is trying to introduce a better product. greed is good. greed is what pushes tesla to want to stick it to big oil.
If you want a friendlier roof then you can go with hidden fastener standing seam aluminum or stainless and then get regular solar panels. That roof will last you a few hundred years longer because you don't need to replace it in 30 years when the solar cells finally fade (assuming you don't have hail or hurricane issues which would further increase your roof replacement intervals when not using high quality standing seam roofing)
Volvo Pls Ford didn't. www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-hy-musk-subsidies-20150531-story.html www.usnews.com/opinion/blogs/economic-intelligence/2013/12/30/teslas-profitability-hasnt-stopped-the-government-handouts And the loan guarantees (Taxpayer cosigned, you know, the same thing that put us on the hook for a trillion in 08) are sealed...
If you pay back loans as soon as you break even you can't grow the company as fast as it needs to. Would you rather have him not produce these great innovations and be at a stand still? You are entitled to your own opinion, but i believe you are being a conservative shitstain.
I guess you are very impressed then, because Tesla has paid off the taxpayer loan and even 9 years early.

***** you damn fool. a copper roof referenced here lasted 600 years en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_roof Not to mention that the corrosion rate of copper is GROSSLY inferior to 316L stainless and titanium in most atmospheric conditions. 30 years my ass.
***** I wouldn't. It has 3x the corrosion rate of properly installed aluminum per unit volume (though there are other corrosion issues with most alloys of aluminum that are worse than copper that need to be considered). I'd go stainless or a heavy gauge, high elongation aluminum alloy. Copper is for rich people with money to blow on nostalgia.
Elon is doing what he is meant to do...why in the world would he be president..these comments kill me..we just need a president who believes in capitalism so he can continue this great work. #trump #maga
gnarlyandy1 I want to to invest but Tesla is sooooo over valued right now. If they continue to make little to no profits, their stock will plummet but become reasonably priced
Model 3 is out next year, which is going to completely transform the company. They just have to stay afloat till then. I'm fairly confident they'll be successful.
This is the stock i would buy if i were to invest for my grand kids future - it might be overvalued now, but why do i get the feeling to "buy buy buy now!" ?
Some people are zealous about fossil energy, and others refuse to believe that this is anything more than a gimmick. He could unveil a source of 100% clean, cost-effective, completely sustainable, easily accessible, ready-for-market energy, and they'd still complain about it
I was thinking the same thing, but it could be people accidentally disliking it. It could be coal miners, or people fracking workers. They'll all be put out of business if this becomes mainstream.
aluwani moyo It won't be. We use way more power than can be generated this way. We can build smarter and more environmentally friendly power plants though :)
I guess you did not watch the video. If we switch away from fossil fuels to all electric then consumption of electricity goes up 3x. One of those parts will be home generated, the other two parts will be centralized so power companies should look forward to doubling their sales if everyone switches to solar.
If they are not in your country yet, they will be soon. They just started selling cars in Mexico City in June 2016 and I've already seen at least 10 different Teslas where I live. Meanwhile spread the word so that more people do the right thing. I know it seems weird to do the right thing by purshcasing a product, but if more people buy more Teslas then all car manufacturers will go electric too and that will be beneficial for Earth and for humanity too.
I hope that in history class my grand children learn about the man who by himself colonized another planet, change gasoline for electricity and make every home use solar energy, reducing the co2 levels for the first time in years
Poor Musk, he needs some sleep. I have a stutter too and noticed that the less sleep I get the worse my stutter gets. Maybe just sleep 9-6 the night before a presentation
He doesn't always stutter. There is a brilliant presentation from 2003 at Stanford where he talks about his new space company. He doesn't stutter at all there -- he was actually a good speaker and he looked rested and healthy
The presentation isn't nearly as important as the content. You "expected more from him"!? He's literally ushering in the electric age, and you're disappointed because he's too busy engineering to take public speaking lessons.
There are a few things worth mentioning re their output. The tiles will cover the entire roof, in all directions. Currently, it makes little sense to put panels on any side other than south facing (northern hemisphere); the price/production doesn't work out. With these solar tiles costing the same or less than a conventional tile, you may as well use them on the north facing side; they will still produce some electricity which will in turn make up for their lesser efficiency and coverage per sqm on a typical south facing installation. Another point worth mentioning is that because these will be as cheap as a conventional roof, in theory, every new building will have them installed by default. Compared to paying for a roof and then solar panels as is currently the case, there will be countless more solar installations, again, more than making up for their lesser efficiency and lesser production per south facing installation. If they are indeed cheaper than conventional tiles, capitalism will see them used, regardless of their function.
I really admire this man. Somehow I didn't feel awkward watching this poor presentation with all his stutter. It rather shows me, that he is a normal human being - gosh I'd appear twice as nervous - yet he is such a inspirational source with his leading-edge sense for products that can make the world a better place. Cheers guys!
They are thinking of money, thinking of humanity is just a selling point. Solar roof panels have been done before, the powerwall is essentially a UPS system and Tesla's electric car wasn't the first either but they are like Apple where they are popularizing these technologies which is a good thing in my opinion at least.
mrtensed they are like Apple in the sense of how they both sell really expensive and kinda overpriced stuff. But Apple sells really bad and outdated products for a lot while Tesla sells way better products for a lot
mrtensed may be he is here to do business, not giving away free stuffs. Please don't compare it with apple ok. Apple is utter crap (unless its mac pro) selling people overpriced stuffs, luring by a scope to brag about how "expensive" they are. Tesla is efficient. Also trying to divert a whole mindfucked world to be nature friendly. Do you know germany already decided to run ONLY eco cars by 2030? Business is not wrong. They could have gone for bugatti ferrari shit. While They are doing something great.
What would be really great is if we could have some technical details, EG size and weight of tiles. So people that are building a house soon could engineer this into roofing plans. And most important when are they going to be available in Australia.
Give them time. Once they build more Gigafactories, they'll be able to roll out these products much faster. Right now they don't have enough batteries.
I would love to see you help create an integrated wind option with the solar roof also, so that houses in Alaska can take advantage of the wind here when the sun is down, or too cloudy.
Many say he is a bad public speaker and stuff. But some don't even know that he is a really busy man and sleeps very little, he runs two companies and just acquired SolarCity recently. It would make sense he would just wing the presentations while with thorough thought to his audience while presenting. I honestly don't think anyone can present his products better than himself considering he knows the products like in and out. Respect to what he is doing for the world and for his hands on leadership with things like his presentations.
FREEDOM or LOCKED IN CONTRACT? Yes interesting Powerwall consumers get solar power on their roof but they still pay for electricity and will it be a from Tesla Energy company or will the consumer be able to choose what company they want power from that is the question!
did you watch the video??? Why would you buy a massive piece of land and put solar panels on it when you can just change all the conventional roofs to solar tiled roofs. This would come with no loss of space and over time a reduction in cost as you would have to replace a conventional roof eventually
Again he mentioned it would be comparable cost to a new conventional roof + electricity. I'm not saying this would be the best option for everyone, just that anyone in the market for a new roof, new builds or even extensions would be better off getting this.
GlitterBuzz I understand that but why would he spend money on a massive piece of land and the surrounding infrastructure when he could just subsidise the installation of the new tiles on peoples roofs? he could then reap the benefits of selling energy back to the grid and the added benefit that it would be self marketing as mentioned in the video. ***** haha very good point. I'm pretty sure its the second largest building by volume but the largest in the world by area. So technically its the biggest building in regards to the capacity for solar production, which of course it will be.
Nothing wrong with liking gas powered cars. Especially if they are for fun. Its the A-to-B commuters we need to convert to electric while keeping the classic, (some) racing and hobby cars running their traditional engines. I would not turn down an electric crate motor for a classic car, but it isn't really fun then with no soundtrack. Like a mute movie. Balance is important. For commuters, busses, trains and trucks, where it matters for the environment, bring on the electric motors. Then replace coal/oil with molten salt nuclear and later fusion. Then finally replace the bunker fuel ships with either electric or hybrid powertrains although some case could be made for fusion in a 100 yrs time as there are no dangerous materials to steal from a fusion reactor for bomb making iirc.
more. 40 years solar. moisture protection: the longevity of the underlayment used unless you live in hurricane, tornado, or massive hailstone prone areas, because shingle type roofs almost always rely heavily on underlyament to catch the wind driven rain which travels beneath it. significantly less than an anodized aluminum or anodized stainless standing seam roof, but clearly more than conventional roofs. Particularly less insulating than an aluminum standing seam roof raised over the substrate with airflow channels underneath, let alone the further insulation offered by clamping solar panels 6" above the roof (which, incidentally, allows for greater cooling and efficiency of the panels). In other words, if you're a purist environmentalist, this product is NOT for you.
Can you easily walk on these? they seem to be impact resistant but are they also slip resistant. and do they sell cheaper non solar versions for north facing portions of the roof?
I want to know how are all the individual panels wired. Running a bunch in series would make a large section useless when it's shaded. Is there more info about this? Would really like to know!
It seems to me that after every drizzle you'll need to clean and wipe your roof again and again so that they are still efficient, and thit might be problematic in most cases. Cities are quite polluted with dust, wind may also bring (and it does in fact) leaves and dirt of every kind onto the roof. And in the time of winter you'll need to get up onto your roof endlessly to clean it from snow... Don't know...
i have a question on how they are connected? and what if one breaks do the power generation continues or do we have to replace it to get the whole roof online again?
The Powerwall 2 is $5,500.00 and you can contact Tesla for the Price on the Solar Panels for the Roofs...God Bless! BTW...Check out this link for more info. on the Solar Roof: techcrunch.com/2016/10/28/these-are-teslas-stunning-new-solar-roof-tiles-for-homes/
Hey Tesla I’ve got some ideas - Electric charging lanes on freeways/motorways ( so when you drive a Tesla you are charging while driving, it would also be really cool if it had a heating capability so when it snows it will be perfectly fine to drive on) - Tesla bullet trains ( trains in America suck, now is the time for someone as great as Tesla to take advantage) - Tesla freeway signs and freeway lights ( for better lighting while driving, what if you had a variable sign displaying road conditions ahead?) Lol just throwing some ideas out their for you guys, make the world a more efficient place please thanks!
Due to the size of each tile being so small, wouldn't you be able to cover more of your roof than conventional solar tiles could? So while the efficiency of the tile itself is lower by 2%, the efficiency of your roof to have solar property is much higher.
André Martins There's no such thing as "normal" solar panel efficiency since they currently range between 15% and 21% efficiency. If these tiles are 15%-2%=13% efficient the higher efficiency panels on the market (21%) might produce more energy than a whole Tesla roof. I like the idea of the Tesla roof I just wish Elon gave us some numbers to enable some comparisonof energy production between regular solar panels currently available and the solar roof.
aaron4820 I understand that you'd cover more area with the roof tiles but did you notice that the solar cells only cover part of the tile? Therefore the total area of energy production might not be bigger than solar panels like you assume. I agree that the tiles are a great idea and well designed I just wish Elon would have compared area and energy production with solar panels because to a lot of people that will be the deciding factor, not aesthetics.
Veganic ♾ Yeah it depends on the model it seems, the orange one is almost only half solar, with the bulged bit not doing anything. While I don't think any of these roof looked good due to me being from Europe and these houses look extremely American stylistically, I disagree that people would care more about a few percentage of efficiency over aesthetics, no matter how you feel about the look of these houses, the panels are definitely very discreet, if you didn't tell me, I wouldn't even have noticed they had solar panels, over traditional ones that makes your house look awful. I should imagine more details questions will be directed at him as product specs are released, but as of now, I agree with the overall direction of the product, make them look "good" and discreet, if the price is right, people'd be happy to get them over conventional ugly panels.
What about places where it snows. Will there be some built in way to get rid of the snow (such as a lower amount of friction so the snow falls off itself when it builds up) or would the owner have to remove the snow manually?
>heating them up That is one of the most retarded things I've ever fucking read. Aside from the energy cost being prohibitive, what's going to happen when all that water freezes your fucking gutters solid? It's going to be all around the outsides of your house, ready to cause an accident.
Chendo Smit I don't need to do better because the idea doesn't need to be done, period. Heating up snow into water is going to cost more energy than the panels can create in a similar time frame. It is fucking asinine to do so.
So if the power is out from your utility company, the battery can simultaneously operate the solar panels AND recharge if there is extra output from the panels?

mrtensed they are like Apple in the sense of how they both sell really expensive and kinda overpriced stuff. But Apple sells really bad and outdated products for a lot while Tesla sells way better products for a lot
mrtensed may be he is here to do business, not giving away free stuffs. Please don't compare it with apple ok. Apple is utter crap (unless its mac pro) selling people overpriced stuffs, luring by a scope to brag about how "expensive" they are.
Tesla is efficient. Also trying to divert a whole mindfucked world to be nature friendly. Do you know germany already decided to run ONLY eco cars by 2030? Business is not wrong. They could have gone for bugatti ferrari shit. While They are doing something great.
***** dude u haven't used note series or nexus or pixel right?
What is the song played at the end? I love it and can't find it anywhere! :(
Poopity scoop
Shazam
What is the song/artist playing at the end? Shazam can't figure it out.
Go elon! Hmm...I like the song at the end
Dave C what song is it?
Bruce Wayne Darude -... Sorry I'll shut up
Waiting for a name...
.
Me too
What would be really great is if we could have some technical details, EG size and weight of tiles. So people that are building a house soon could engineer this into roofing plans.
And most important when are they going to be available in Australia.
0:40 great entry❤
elon musk, you change the world, you are the biggest genius of modern times, keep working hard, world need you!
I want to live in a Tesla City!
Music playing at the end? Please help!
Anyone know the song at the end?
Gasoline cars need to be wiped out completely.
jkaep just take a look on what Germany just decided, no more new ice cars by 2030 :)
They do come with wipers tho
jkaep
Except for performance cars like Lamborghinis bit get rid of Bugatti
replaced not wiped out
Won't be easy, plenty of industries associated with gasoline cars, many people would lose their jobs.
please launch your products in India
Please release it everywhere around the world*
solar powered curry and rice
We definitely need Solar Roof in india. Tesla cars might not be affordable in India, and we don't have Tesla Superchargers as well.
yet :)
Give them time. Once they build more Gigafactories, they'll be able to roll out these products much faster. Right now they don't have enough batteries.
what is the melody in the end
I would love to see you help create an integrated wind option with the solar roof also, so that houses in Alaska can take advantage of the wind here when the sun is down, or too cloudy.
I see a lot of myself in Elon Musk
even his dad bod? (;
Milky Rips ya homo..
im joking
Milky Rips gaaaaay
That's called confirmation bias
holy shit. this guy is changing our lives right before our eyes. wowzerybobters
Does anybody know the name of the song right at the end? (I know it's Darude - Sandstorm, but I mean the unofficial name).
Many say he is a bad public speaker and stuff. But some don't even know that he is a really busy man and sleeps very little, he runs two companies and just acquired SolarCity recently. It would make sense he would just wing the presentations while with thorough thought to his audience while presenting. I honestly don't think anyone can present his products better than himself considering he knows the products like in and out. Respect to what he is doing for the world and for his hands on leadership with things like his presentations.
As usual Elon delivers another great product; it'll remain to be seen if society has the wisdom to adopt it quickly to reduce environmental damage.
FREEDOM or LOCKED IN CONTRACT? Yes interesting Powerwall consumers get solar power on their roof but they still pay for electricity and will it be a from Tesla Energy company or will the consumer be able to choose what company they want power from that is the question!
@@derekthompson9270 From what i've researched, it seems to be freedom. Also, you don't have to be on the grid but being on the grid is reccomended.
Update... clay color? Gone🙄
Oh yeah? We got that car sewer yet? What about this?
Why doesnt Elon buy a massive peice of land and power an enitre city using solar only?
did you watch the video??? Why would you buy a massive piece of land and put solar panels on it when you can just change all the conventional roofs to solar tiled roofs. This would come with no loss of space and over time a reduction in cost as you would have to replace a conventional roof eventually
Murray Mackenzie people would rather pay $XX a month for electricty than paying a one time $XX,XXX
and this would only work for houses, people with appartments arent so lucky.
Again he mentioned it would be comparable cost to a new conventional roof + electricity. I'm not saying this would be the best option for everyone, just that anyone in the market for a new roof, new builds or even extensions would be better off getting this.
GlitterBuzz I understand that but why would he spend money on a massive piece of land and the surrounding infrastructure when he could just subsidise the installation of the new tiles on peoples roofs? he could then reap the benefits of selling energy back to the grid and the added benefit that it would be self marketing as mentioned in the video.
***** haha very good point. I'm pretty sure its the second largest building by volume but the largest in the world by area. So technically its the biggest building in regards to the capacity for solar production, which of course it will be.
Very innovative! Really enjoyed the presentation and am so impressed with the advancement in technology! Great job Mr. Musk!
I am amazed!! I hope every roof tile company looks into this.
That Model 3 teasing tho..
i bet that one dislike is a petrohead
Lord Megatron Maybe is Donald Trump
Lmaol
Lord Megatron I'm a petrol head and think this is wonderful
Nothing wrong with liking gas powered cars. Especially if they are for fun. Its the A-to-B commuters we need to convert to electric while keeping the classic, (some) racing and hobby cars running their traditional engines. I would not turn down an electric crate motor for a classic car, but it isn't really fun then with no soundtrack. Like a mute movie. Balance is important.
For commuters, busses, trains and trucks, where it matters for the environment, bring on the electric motors. Then replace coal/oil with molten salt nuclear and later fusion. Then finally replace the bunker fuel ships with either electric or hybrid powertrains although some case could be made for fusion in a 100 yrs time as there are no dangerous materials to steal from a fusion reactor for bomb making iirc.
Ever heard of this thing that exists called music? Ya, well thats what you can listen to if its too quiet for you.
the outdoors presentation is really cool.
CLOSING SONG??
game changer. Tesla did it again.
MODEL 3
Amazing. Btw, how can they create that presentation backdrop?
It will be interesting to see the LCA of that material and compared to other roof material.
guys what is that song at the end
Elon- How much does it cost compared to a conventional roof? How long does it last? How does it insulate?
less, longer, better, did't you watch the video?
I assume he wanted some numbers and not just words.
more. 40 years solar. moisture protection: the longevity of the underlayment used unless you live in hurricane, tornado, or massive hailstone prone areas, because shingle type roofs almost always rely heavily on underlyament to catch the wind driven rain which travels beneath it. significantly less than an anodized aluminum or anodized stainless standing seam roof, but clearly more than conventional roofs. Particularly less insulating than an aluminum standing seam roof raised over the substrate with airflow channels underneath, let alone the further insulation offered by clamping solar panels 6" above the roof (which, incidentally, allows for greater cooling and efficiency of the panels).
In other words, if you're a purist environmentalist, this product is NOT for you.
that is totally awesome and my roof is 21 yrs old now, looking forward to doing it soon
Can you easily walk on these? they seem to be impact resistant but are they also slip resistant. and do they sell cheaper non solar versions for north facing portions of the roof?
What's the song at the end?
song at the end of the movie?
I want to know how are all the individual panels wired. Running a bunch in series would make a large section useless when it's shaded. Is there more info about this? Would really like to know!
Track id please in the end of this video! I can’t shazam it already 5 years!!!
nice products, beautiful ending event with nice song, by the way which song is this?
Help! What song is playing 16:00?!
Dmitry Tkachenko sandstorm
It seems to me that after every drizzle you'll need to clean and wipe your roof again and again so that they are still efficient, and thit might be problematic in most cases. Cities are quite polluted with dust, wind may also bring (and it does in fact) leaves and dirt of every kind onto the roof. And in the time of winter you'll need to get up onto your roof endlessly to clean it from snow... Don't know...
i have a question on how they are connected?
and what if one breaks do the power generation continues or do we have to replace it to get the whole roof online again?
How much are these? Im too lazy to research or watch the whole video.
$5.49
The Powerwall 2 is $5,500.00 and you can contact Tesla for the Price on the Solar Panels for the Roofs...God Bless!
BTW...Check out this link for more info. on the Solar Roof: techcrunch.com/2016/10/28/these-are-teslas-stunning-new-solar-roof-tiles-for-homes/
it's about tree fiddy
The solar roof is $400 per sq ft. On finance it'll be affordable...
Will Bradbury that's really not that bad. it's not cheap but worth it in my opinion
2:38 "Save us Elon!"- I love that guy
Hey Tesla I’ve got some ideas
- Electric charging lanes on freeways/motorways ( so when you drive a Tesla you are charging while driving, it would also be really cool if it had a heating capability so when it snows it will be perfectly fine to drive on)
- Tesla bullet trains ( trains in America suck, now is the time for someone as great as Tesla to take advantage)
- Tesla freeway signs and freeway lights ( for better lighting while driving, what if you had a variable sign displaying road conditions ahead?)
Lol just throwing some ideas out their for you guys, make the world a more efficient place please thanks!
Is there a heated version and do you have to clean them?
Is it just me or does Elon look a bit... chunkier than before?
he is too busy saving the world
You don't need to exercise to maintain a healthy weight, I'm not criticising Elon Musk at all though, just stating facts.
I image when you're a billionaire you can eat pretty good. lol
Looks like he is making muscle gains to me.
0ooTheMAXXoo0 yea it looks more like muscle
17:45 MODEL 3!!
A Tesla is my dream car. My mom said "Best of Luck getting that for your first car"
What is the closing song?
What is the name of song starting at 16m03s? Shazam couldn't find song :(
Lovely concept but no mention fo the solar tiles efficiency and how they compare with regular solar panels regarding energy production per area.
Veganic ♾ 98% efficiency of normal panels. Would you not trade the 2% loss for the looks given the price?
Due to the size of each tile being so small, wouldn't you be able to cover more of your roof than conventional solar tiles could? So while the efficiency of the tile itself is lower by 2%, the efficiency of your roof to have solar property is much higher.
André Martins There's no such thing as "normal" solar panel efficiency since they currently range between 15% and 21% efficiency. If these tiles are 15%-2%=13% efficient the higher efficiency panels on the market (21%) might produce more energy than a whole Tesla roof. I like the idea of the Tesla roof I just wish Elon gave us some numbers to enable some comparisonof energy production between regular solar panels currently available and the solar roof.
aaron4820
I understand that you'd cover more area with the roof tiles but did you notice that the solar cells only cover part of the tile? Therefore the total area of energy production might not be bigger than solar panels like you assume. I agree that the tiles are a great idea and well designed I just wish Elon would have compared area and energy production with solar panels because to a lot of people that will be the deciding factor, not aesthetics.
Veganic ♾ Yeah it depends on the model it seems, the orange one is almost only half solar, with the bulged bit not doing anything. While I don't think any of these roof looked good due to me being from Europe and these houses look extremely American stylistically, I disagree that people would care more about a few percentage of efficiency over aesthetics, no matter how you feel about the look of these houses, the panels are definitely very discreet, if you didn't tell me, I wouldn't even have noticed they had solar panels, over traditional ones that makes your house look awful.
I should imagine more details questions will be directed at him as product specs are released, but as of now, I agree with the overall direction of the product, make them look "good" and discreet, if the price is right, people'd be happy to get them over conventional ugly panels.
anyone knows what the back screen is? It doesn't looks like led monitor, LCD wall, or projector.
Wut about the AC, the water heater, and the stove? Does the power wall output enough amps for those?
we need Elon to live long.... please release your products in India... we definitely need solar roofs...
what is the name of the song?
Dmytro Shumygai
If I ever get the money I would definitely get your solar tiles elongated muskrat!
ok how about side walls in the more northern exposures ?
This guy certainly knows what he's doing!!
What about the efficiency compared to a normal solar panel?
2% less
techcrunch.com/2016/10/28/these-are-teslas-stunning-new-solar-roof-tiles-for-homes/
Thanks man
It's 2% less efficient. That's marginal, I don't get why he didn't mention it.
2% less than what?! Common solar panel efficiency ranges from 15% to 21%.
Veganic ♾
2% less than normal solar panels obviously.
Wow, that is one amazing screen. Look at the image, even in daytime. Crazy..
Also, those solar panels are AMAZING!
did they publish the slides as PDF or powerpoint file ?
Qushery no
Hendrik what did they use to make the presentation? i want to know too
What about places where it snows. Will there be some built in way to get rid of the snow (such as a lower amount of friction so the snow falls off itself when it builds up) or would the owner have to remove the snow manually?
Spartaton twitter.com/elonmusk/status/792218248917811204
Chendo Smit Thanks
>heating them up
That is one of the most retarded things I've ever fucking read. Aside from the energy cost being prohibitive, what's going to happen when all that water freezes your fucking gutters solid? It's going to be all around the outsides of your house, ready to cause an accident.
TheTundraTerror then please, become Elon and do it better :)
Chendo Smit
I don't need to do better because the idea doesn't need to be done, period. Heating up snow into water is going to cost more energy than the panels can create in a similar time frame. It is fucking asinine to do so.
So if the power is out from your utility company, the battery can simultaneously operate the solar panels AND recharge if there is extra output from the panels?
How about a solar powered roof on the Tesla? would it work ? I'm thinking about extending the range driving time. what do you guys think?
