In early 2018, Tesla finally began manufacturing solar tiles for the public at their New York-based Gigafactory 2. If they spot surface damage they may point it out, but they don’t assess structure, as in joists and purlins and things like that.Is the Tesla solar roof worth the additional cost compared to solar panels? When conventional roofs are replaced, no structural assessments take place either, they just tear it all up and then put it back down. The ability for a roof to hold extra weight would be the responsibility of the owner, no?Įdit: after some more research, tesla roofs are as light or lighter than conventional roofs, especially ceramic tiles, so liability wise, they wouldn’t necessarily need to check anything, because it’s just a roofing job. They can only do a visual inspection and see that nothing is collapsed or collapsing and there isn’t any visual damage. Obviously it would be smart for Tesla’s roofers to ask the question, but they would have no way to assess the condition of a roof structure as they aren’t structural folk by nature. Not trying to troll, but is the condition/strength of the roof 100% the responsibility of tesla to review? As a structural engineer, this kind of thing is too big of a liability for any solar company to take on, in my opinion.

If I got it fixed, an engineer would have to sign off on it for both strength andįlatness. Looking up the roof an angle, and subject to keystone distortion, making it I think its quite a bit less - the photo they used was shot The complaint from Tesla was over the bowing of the roof. Roof tiles look a hell of a lot better than slapping panels on an existing roof. However, it's beautiful, elegant, and I'd be a fool to ignore that.
