Tesla Solar Roof and Powerwall
No. Textured black is the only color/style available.
Each PV shingle is a small scale solar panel that produces 72watts of electricity. That electricity can be stored via batteries and used or sent to the grid to offset usage.
Tesla Solar Roof is a complete roof replacement but will consist of glass PV (photovoltaic, or solar-producing) tiles, architectural-grade steel tiles, and steel trim pieces. The PV and non-PV tiles are aesthetically identical for a uniform look. Our engineers will optimize your custom roof design for maximum production and efficiency.
