The roof launch event was very clear that this is a product that competes against premium roofs. Asphalt shingle roofs aren't premium roofs. As an example, for high-end housing developments, many of them do not allow asphalt shingle roofs.
If that's not your thing, great. Then this isn't the product for you.
- Thrymr 10y agoThe article specifically cites a source talking about asphalt shingle roofs: "The price was calculated for a roof where 35 percent of the tiles are solar (solar tiles cost more per square foot than non-solar tiles), in order to generate $53,500 worth of electricity, which according to Consumer Reports would make a solar roof more affordable than an asphalt shingle roof."
- thatwebdude 10y agoYet they'll allow those shitty* cedar roofs that look like crap in 20 years... *Shitty in how they look, not how they perform. I can drive through a 600k+ neighborhood (5x-6x higher than the average house in my metro) and see this terrible looking shingle. I honestly feel bad for Mr. Jones who can't afford a new cedar (or fake cedar) roof because the option of a nice asphalt isn't allowed in his HOA. https://aos.iacpublishinglabs.com/question/aq/1400px-788px/stain-cedar-shingles_40d46b1a4cab0703.jpg?domain=cx.aos.ask.com https://aos.iacpublishinglabs.com/question/aq/1400px-788px/s...
