On September 15th, according to foreign media reports, electric car manufacturer Tesla began to cooperate with other companies to install solar roof tiles and deploy new solar products faster.
As early as October 2016, Tesla released solar roof products. The company’s solar roof looks like ordinary tiles, and it looks no different from ordinary roofs, but it can use solar energy to generate electricity.
It is reported that Tesla has installed its solar roof products for more than a year. During this period, the company increased installation speed and output. It now appears that the company will rely on other companies to install solar roofs for more homes.
Foreign media said that solar installer Good Faith Energy confirmed that it has been authorized to install Tesla solar roofs and that it has installed its first solar roof system. In addition to this, Sunpro, a large solar installation company, has also obtained certification for installing Tesla’s solar roof.
In October last year, Tesla launched the third generation of solar roof tiles. This generation of tiles is now called Solarglass, which has a higher power density and helps reduce costs.
Since the introduction of a new generation of tiles, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has wanted to accelerate the production and installation of solar roofs.
Tesla is known for its electric vehicles, but the company’s goal is actually to “accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy.” The faster the company installs solar roofs, the faster it can achieve this goal.
In March of this year, Tesla said that its New York super factory has completed the construction of a 4 megawatt (megawatt) solar roof, which can be used by up to 1,000 households .
Tesla entered the field of solar roofs through the acquisition of SolarCity. Suncity was founded by Musk’s two cousins and was acquired by Musk for US$2.6 billion in 2016.
Established in October 2008, SolarCity is the number one commercial solar panel manufacturer in the United States, providing comprehensive solar services from system design, installation, financing, and construction supervision.
