Tesla solar panel estimator.

Purchase solar at the lowest price of any national provider with tesla s price match guarantee and take control of your monthly electricity bill. To help you understand the potential value of the solar roof tesla created a calculator to show upfront estimates for their roof. However because the solar roof also includes getting a new roof the overall cost is much more expensive. Consumer reports has double checked tesla s math behind its solar roof tile calculator and confirmed that estimates provided by the company are accurate.

Our in house team of energy professionals has installed more than 3 6 gw of clean solar energy across 400 000 roofs the equivalent of 10 million traditional solar panels. Although when you call tesla and ask for a quote for solar panels for your home there s a good chance you won t even see a brand of panel listed aside your estimate. The calculator is fun to play around with but it doesn t take certain factors into consideration that would provide an actual comparison to the value of standard solar panels. Even though tesla does manufacture solar roof shingles or solar tiles for the tesla solar roof they do not have their own solar panel brand.

The consumer ratings agency notes that. So if you don t need to replace your roof installing a traditional solar system is probably better.
