St. Joseph, MN — Joel Cherrico has taken a significant step toward sustainability and environmental consciousness. His studio and home now offset 100% of Cherrico Pottery's energy usage thanks to a cutting-edge Tesla Solar Roof system designed and installed by Greenway Solar.

Tesla Solar Roof: A Game-Changer

The Tesla Solar Roof, a revolutionary product, seamlessly integrates solar panels into the roof itself. Unlike traditional solar panels mounted on top of existing roofs, the Tesla Solar Roof features photovoltaic (PV) tiles that collect solar energy while maintaining a sleek and aesthetically pleasing appearance. Non-PV tiles are used in shaded areas, creating a durable and efficient roofing system. Clean energy can be harvested year-round, even in snowy Minnesota. The combination of heat generation, hydrophobic surface, and full coverage design ensures efficient snow shedding, allowing it to continue producing electricity even in wintry conditions.

A Bright Future

Cherrico Pottery, founded by artist Joel Cherrico, is a celebration of craftsmanship, innovation, and timeless beauty. Located in St. Joseph, Minnesota, this pottery studio combines ancient techniques with modern sensibilities to create functional art that enriches everyday life. The decision to switch to solar energy was driven by their commitment to sustainability ,technology, and innovation. By opting for the Tesla Solar Roof, they not only generate clean energy but also create a seamless coexistence of tradition and innovation.

Benefits of Solar Energy for Cherrico Pottery:

  1. Environmental Impact: The studio’s reliance on fossil fuels has been replaced by clean, renewable solar energy. This transition significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions and helps combat climate change.
  2. Cost Savings: Over time, the solar system will pay for itself by offsetting electricity bills. Cherrico Pottery can reinvest these savings into their craft and business.
  3. Aesthetic Appeal: The sleek design of the Tesla Solar Roof seamlessly blends with the studio’s architecture, enhancing its visual appeal, and serving as a reminder of how each piece is created using the sun.

Solar Panels Explained/How a Solar Panel Works (Basic), Shedding some light on Solar Panels

With so many incentives and credits out there, it’s no surprise that we’re seeing more and more solar panels pop-up on rooftops as you take a stroll through your neighborhood or drive down the freeway. We’re seeing huge solar arrays installed on farmland and small arrays added to the top of rvs and campervans. The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported a 34% increase in residential solar installs from 2020 to 2021. The recent Federal Solar Tax Credit increase to 30% means we are likely to see more significant increases in installations in the coming years. The financial benefits, along with the fact that solar is a clean renewable energy, help make the decision to add solar to your home a whole lot easier. The problem is many homeowners still don’t really understand what they’re buying. They want to know how the solar works and what it means to purchase a solar system for their home.

Analyzing Agrivoltaics, The Future of Farming

If the United States is serious about reaching its goal of a net-zero emissions economy by 2050, we’re going to need a lot of solar panels. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, ground-based solar will need 0.5% of the land in the contiguous U.S. to reach that goal. Realistically, strictly putting solar panels on businesses and houses isn’t enough to satisfy the 0.5% land requirement.
