His pitch on the solar tiles that would cost* at or less a typical shingled roof had me incredibly sold, but it seems that has taken a back seat as of late in his endeavors. Yeah, would love an electric car, but until they hit the $35k price point, it isn't happening anytime soon for me. But a fairly priced solar setup for home? Sign me up.
* not sure if it was initial cost or cost over the life of plus the energy savings, I don't remember nor really care. Either is fine by me.
- gibolt 8y agoIt is over the life of shingles plus energy. That won't be true of the first few years of sales. As an upside, I think the comparison is with one roof replacement, which is supposed to be done every 8-20 years. Tesla tiles should last 100 years.
