As I understand it the solar roof is a ‘vanity’ roof designed to blend in with traditional roofing, rather than bolt-on panels.

- foepys 6y agoI have solar on my roof and I'm actually glad it's bolted on instead of integrated into the roof itself. In the summer the heat from direct sunlight doesn't hit the roof and gets absorbed by the panels instead. This way my actual roof is staying relatively cool. A very nice feature that I bet many home owners don't realize until they have it.
- foepys 6y agoPeople are somehow downvoting this but it's a fact that my attic is a lot cooler for longer after solar was installed despite much hotter summers. The solar panels are shading my roof and the main thing heating it is the hot air. Tesla's fancy solar roofs take this away and are very likely more expensive over the long term due to higher AC costs.
