Tesla Solar Roof vs. New Roof + Solar: Cost Breakdown

[@zfritz268]

I was quoted last week on a 3,900 sqf roof at $270,000. includes 1 battery and 13kw amount of active tiles. A similar solar set up would be 38k. Though i would still need to install a new roof. Basically, what i need to figure out now is how much sale value the solar roof can add to a home. If it has a good mark up value, then the investment can be more appealing.

That's way too expensive

[@SangobuildRoofingProducts]

how much kwh capacity is the battery, and if $270,000 is net cost after tax credit?

I was recently quoted in Virginia, by American Home Contractors, for a 4200 sq.ft roof replacement for Tesla Solar Roof, at 17 kW and 2 Powerwalls for $240,000. Basically the price in the past four years has gone from ~$21-$25/sq ft to ~$57-$60/sq ft. Ridiculous.

how much kwh capacity is each power wall？and if $240,000 is net cost after tax credit?

The roof is so beautiful. I hope it becomes available in Africa soon!

I just got a quote on a 6187 sq ft one story house roof replacement for $336k, less 93k tax credit, net cost $243k

That is stupid money!!!!

[@coreysgmail7261]

If you pay cash it should pay itself Bach in 5 to 7 years …. No more than that Numbers don’t make sense… Lease is worse …. But cost of laying out money that you could invest vs actual con ed bill is ridiculous . Some say payback of 12 years or even worse 25 years is crazy. I am green but not stupid

[@voidisciple2759]

I just don't see the value proposition making any sense for most people this is a beyond luxury good right now and while its cool to have energy security in case of crisis those crisis are normally the type of thing that would damage a roof.

[@SolarReviews]

Great assessment. While a Tesla Solar Roof is a cool combination of new technology, sustainability, and great product design it is about twice as expensive as a brand new roof with a brand new solar system.

[@beerman1957]

Then don’t get one.

What about GAF solar shingles

[@SolarReviews]

Such a cool product. We're going to be making a video about it once we do all of our research.

[@gordonlowe5405]

GAF Timberline Solar coupled with a PW3 is the way that we will go when/if we go with solar and a BESS.

[@wydryfly]

I decided to not install solar because it was 14 year break even period.

[@SolarReviews]

Break even periods can vary greatly based on the state you are in. Hopefully your state gets up to speed!

​@IKidTheSolar what are you talking about? Maybe explain yourself instead of just stating absolutes multiple times with nothing to back it up.

[@TastyChickenWing]

Not worth it

People are suckers all the time!!!
