hi I'm Dave from solar reviews talking about solar shingles and whether they are a good option for your home solar shingles have been around for a number of years however in 2018 the first installations of the Tesla solar shingles also known as the Tesla solar roof have turned the way we think about solar shingles on its head what are solar roof shingles they are roof tiles that contain solar cells they both generate solar electricity and function as a waterproof roof product Tesla is the first solar panel shingles manufacturer to make the active solar shingles that contain the solar cells look the same as all the other non active roof tiles that don't generate power at a cost of twenty one dollars and thirty five cents per square foot the cost of putting that Tesla solar roof on a 2500 square foot home would be around fifty thousand dollars how does the cost of solar shingles compare to the cost of a conventional roof conventional roof materials are cheaper only around one to two dollars per square foot but to properly evaluate the value of the solar shingles you have to add in the value of the solar system you are getting as well as the fact that the solar shingles have a lifetime warranty a solar system for a large home of around eight kilowatts will cost around twenty five thousand dollars less the federal tax credit when this is taken into account the cost of the Tesla solar shingles doesn't seem that far out of the ballpark however it is not clear whether the cost of twenty one dollars and thirty five cents per square foot includes the installation cost or not if it doesn't then you could expect installation to be another five to eight thousand dollars there are several other companies that make solar roof shingles perhaps the best known is certainteed who have had a solar roof tile product called Apollo to the advantage of the certainteed product is that it is cheaper than the Tesla solar roof the major disadvantage is that the active solar roof tiles look different to the regular roofing around them and only replace part of the roof the other company who makes a product that can cover an entire roof is luma although they claim that their complete roof solution runs at $38 per square foot making it even more expensive than the Tesla solar roof solar roof tiles are great for the environment your home and your utility bills they reduce co2 footprint leverage a clean and natural source of energy that reduces your family's carbon footprint they reduce energy bills solar shingles reduce annual energy costs often by forty to sixty percent all American homeowners are eligible for the 30% federal solar tax credit until the end of 2019 solar shingles do have a few drawbacks as a roofing material the Solar roof tiles are about 10 times the cost of conventional roofing materials and as solar panels the Solar roof tiles are about three times the cost of a conventional residential solar power system for the same production capacity there is a very long way from ordering to installation of the Tesla solar roof and very few trained installers shingle efficiency is subject to roof orientation rack-mounted grids can be installed at angles or on the ground to capture maximum amounts of sunlight but solar shingles are limited to the natural direction and angle of your roof there been so few Tesla solar roof installations that it is hard to know whether solar companies will install them or whether roofing contractors will install them if you're building a new house the tests of solar shingles are definitely worth looking at if you have an existing house with a roof that does not need replacing conventional solar panels will only be 30% of the cost of the Tesla solar shingles for the same solar energy production it is important that you get your solar panels for your home installed as quickly as possible getting solar panels now would lock you in the net metering rate for a fixed period typically 20 years thus guaranteeing your return on investment ...
