Tesla Solar Roof
We are not currently offering Tesla Solar Roofs, but we’d love to talk about solar panels and batteries with you.
Learn a bit about the Tesla Solar Roof
Like classic solar panels, the Tesla Solar Roof generates renewable energy from the sun to power home needs- from your morning coffee to Friday movie nights. But unlike classic solar, it has the look of a roof with no additional panels.
We have installed Tesla Solar Roofs in the past for homeowners replacing their roofs or building a new home who wanted to:
reduce electric bills
and join the climate revolution
… with the most leading-edge technology (and modern aesthetics)
We currently are not offering this service and focus on solar panel installations and battery back up solutions and would love to talk to you about this!
“The members of the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and always willing to explain the ins and outs of system needs and installation. All options are laid out with pros and cons to help the consumer make an informed decision. I highly recommend Sugar Hollow Solar to all of my friends and colleagues.”
How does the Tesla Solar Roof work?
Tried and true solar technology. Updated modern look.
Like traditional solar panels, your Tesla Solar Roof generates power when the sun is out
An inverter installed in your garage, basement, or other out-of-the-way location transforms harvested power into usable renewable energy for your home
When you add in a Tesla Powerwall, you can also store away this energy to use when the grid goes out
The main difference? The look of the roof.
FAQs
+ How long will Tesla solar roofs last? / Is there a warranty?
If you’re like us, you’ll want a strong warranty when you’re investing in a new technology. Good news: the Solar Roof is guaranteed by Tesla for 25 years. The warranty covers all roof components and the solar energy producing technology.
+ Where is the Tesla Solar Roof available?
Tesla is slowly rolling out their Solar Roof across the US, choosing specific solar companies to partner with and train to install them.
+ Is Sugar Hollow Solar installing roofs now, too?
Nope, we do not install roofs or Tesla Solar roofs at this time.
+ Is the Tesla solar roof worth it?
Consider the Tesla Solar Roof if you’re building a new home or replacing your roof. If you’re not worried about costs, of course, you could do this at any time… but the cost includes a new roof plus going solar. So if you’re asking us, traditional solar panels may still be your best option if you’re ready to go solar but your roof is in good shape. Either way, we’re here to help you understand what’s going to serve you best and work with you to make it a reality.
+ Can I get a tax credit for the Tesla Solar Roof?
Yes! Since you’re installing a new roof and solar technology together, you can apply the solar portion of the roof towards the Federal Tax Credit, but make sure you confirm this with your tax advisor for your particular situation.
+ Does the Tesla Solar Roof integrate with the Tesla Powerwall?
Yep! Homeowners often pair Solar Roofs with the Tesla Powerwall, the battery backup technology that allows you to lose utility power and keep your lights on. Having battery backup means that when the sun shines, it charges your battery to use at night — or when the grid goes down.
+ What does the Tesla Solar Roof look like?
Tesla designs beautiful, sleek and modern products. Solar Roofs are no exception.
We’ve chosen DLV Roofing Systems as our certified roofing installation partner. Like us, DVL values high quality work and over-delivering for customers.
To make the uniform look of the Solar Roof, Tesla offers both solar roof tiles and look-alike non-solar roof tiles. We’ll determine the best locations for your roof to produce solar power (based on solar access). Then we’ll take into account your household energy needs, and design a system using both tile types to support your estimated needs.
