Oct 24, 2017 · Is your roof 12:7 (~60°) or 7:12 (~30°)? If the former (which would be essentially equivalent to 20:12, the current max pitch listed for Tesla solar roof installs) I would expect snow to slide off the roof fairly quickly, based on the bit of …
Tesla new solar tiles (v3) producing more power - Tesla Motors Club
May 11, 2020 · Tesla is spec'ing the new tiles for my current roof design as well. Here's the datasheet sent from the solar advisor. Can’t find a link on their website yet. Tiles are the same physical size & use the same mounting & wiring hardware as the SR60T1 tiles, just improved efficiency. I'm assuming that they look identical to the SR60T1 tiles.

Jun 12, 2017 · Haha hi again, yea I held back because to be honest I wanted to try out the Tesla roof tiles. AAAaaaargh 10kw system for 55k HKD sounds like a sweet deal and very tempting haha but sorry I'm going to wait this year to see reviews of the Tesla ones in Hong Kong; if they still don't roll out by end of the year then I'll look back into conventional panels.
Solar panels and clay tile roofs | Tesla Motors Club
Jan 28, 2018 · Our 44 solar panels were installed on our concrete tile roof last year by a Tesla-approved 3rd party installer, along with 4 PowerWalls.

Steel solar roof tiles? | Tesla Motors Club
Feb 20, 2011 · There was a thread on this today in the FB Tesla Energy group. It sounded like they are moving to use these new metal tiles in lieu of the non-active glass tiles they used to use.

Tesla Solar Panels on a Red Tile Roof | Tesla Motors Club

Slate style Tesla Roof? - Tesla Motors Club
Aug 26, 2018 · Solar roof was an option when I priced my install out in 2022. It was 100% more expensive than panels. I could not justify the added cost. There is the added benefit of a lifetime roof, but I could install two metal lifetime roofs + panels for the cost of the solar roof.
Solar Roof exceeding roof weight limit? - Tesla Motors Club
Feb 20, 2011 · FWIW a 45" X 14" Tesla Solar Roof tile weighs about 7 pounds ( I weighed the signed one I have). With overlapping that tile will cover 45" X 9" = 2.8 sq feet of exposed roof. 7lbs/2.8 sq. ft. = 2.5 lbs/sq. ft. for the SolarRoof tile. So even with underlayment material and plywood, I think you are safe.
