Remember those Tesla solar roof tiles? Fake. Made by a prop company in LA.
Tesla solar still exists, but they just install typical panels, because PUTTING SOLAR TILES IN THE SHADY ROOF SIDE WAS STUPID.
While I really don’t want to defend that flop, they didn’t. Their goal was to create identical tiles so the roof looked consistent but only some would be the more expensive solar tiles
Yeah but they delivered fuck all.
I know theyre banned in my town, fire marshal and electrical inspector said fuck that.
Theres actually a guy who has them on his roof. Hes not allowed to turn the system on, even islanded to make power, and he eats a decent yearly fine just for having them on his roof, which is deemed a hazard by the fire marshal, should he have a fire.
I’ve seen a local installation of the tiles. I asked the contractor all about them as they went in. They are real.
Are you sure? I remember seeing other legitimate roofing companies selling solar roof tiles too. I think I even remember watching an installation video. They weren't rigid tiles, they were flexible and nailed down similarly to shingles.
