Tesla Panoramic Roof Worth It

That price is before tax credits.

Tesla panoramic roof worth it.

According to tesla a typical homeowner could expect to pay 21 85 per square foot to replace a 3 000 square foot roof with a solar roof that s 35 percent solar tiles for a total of 65 550. From what i ve seen panoramic sunroof equipped vehicles often suffer a similar fate. A family who has had a tesla solar roof for the last 3 months has released a fun video review that shows some impressive results. Tesla claims it blocks 98 of ultraviolet light and 81 of solar heat.

The tesla solar roof is technically cheaper per watt than the average solar panel. Like a convertible a panoramic sunroof by design is an all or nothing proposition. Often it is simply too hot too cold or too windy to drive with the roof down and as a result the driver eventually stops using it. But each roof will require a unique mix of the solar tiles which have a cost of 42 ft and the non solar tiles which have a cost of about 11 ft.

Well tesla says the average homeowner will end up with a cost of 21 85 per square foot of roof space. So if you don t need to replace your roof installing a traditional solar system is probably better. Tesla s latest vehicle the model y is said to have a panoramic glass roof as part of its unique features. The panoramic sunroof is a 2 500 option on the model s and for me represents approximately 2 5 of my total vehicle cost.

While it does offer a fresh take on vehicle roof views tesla s innovation might not. When paired with powerwall tesla s home battery solar roof can power an entire home with 100 renewable energy. However because the solar roof also includes getting a new roof the overall cost is much more expensive. Your cost will depend on how many of each you need.
