Solar roof

[J.P.M.]

I understand the reservations of the critics, but it looks like a pretty compelling product:

I've got a bridge for sale. Wait until enough are up/running for a while to get some idea of robustness, and then do a cost analysis on one for your home and your loads. If all that works out, and it's cost effective, it'll be compelling. Until then, it's no more Musk B.S. of the usual variety.

Believe what you want, and spend your money as you wish, but wait until such a product is proven safe, practical and cost effective by independent confirmation and use by the great unwashed masses before you sink any money into such a product, or spread B.S, advertising around like this. Others may fall for it.

The proof of it working will be a number of successful installations that last as long as advertised. Maybe Tesla has found the right combination of materials to make their product work. Although it has been tried by other well know companies (like DOW) with poor results. I guess we will have to wait and see.

I know there's a LOT of skepticism on this forum about Tesla's promised solar roof, but I remain optimistic that they can make it work:
