The companies started by Elon Musk solve the most diverse problems of the mankind. In addition to organizing the production of environmentally friendly cars, the Tesla company is developing solar panels, which can be installed on the roofs of individual and public buildings and houses.
The production of such solar panels began in 2016, and their installation allows not only to deal with environmental problems looming over humanity, but also significantly reduce energy bills. Currently, Tesla developers have introduced the third generation of roof solar panels, declared to be the most effective for mass use, due to their simplicity and low cost of manufacture.
Tesla specialists expect to install about 1,000 roof mini-power plants per week. Official deliveries of the new solar panels will begin shortly. The basic, most compact installation covers an area of 186 m2. The installation price is $33.95 thousand, with a tax of $8.85 thousand. Such a price is almost 10 thousand dollars less than a similar installation with traditional solar panels.
According to Musk’s statement, the households that require repair or replacement of the roof will save even more money. Tesla provides a guarantee for the panels themselves, the roof, and the work performed for 25 years. The company currently offers one roof color, but it is going to expand the color scheme.
