Only true if you look at designer roofs.
I got 30 year shingles on my roof last year. About 2000 square feet (I know roofs are measured in squares but I forgot the square number). Cost like $6500 installed. Solar city roof is like 45k.
Sure it looks better. And if you compare it to a 25k nice looking roof, the math is way better. But tons of us do not have 25k roofs, we have 5-10k roofs..
- aquadrop 9y agoSame things as with electric cars, 10 years ago Tesla started as a luxury car manufacturer and now it moves to wider and wider auditory. And there's plenty of 25k roofs for them to be busy for years... Also, I think math for new houses should include the fact that property is usually mortgaged. So, you take part of the cost that's over 25k and it's mortgaged for 25-30 years. You don't pay $30k at once, you pay $100 a month for it, and it saves you $150 in electricity. So it works right from the start. Now there's plenty of roof space for the beginning and let's see where tech will be in 10 years.
