Tesla Solar Panels Review

Since solar panels are becoming more affordable and more desirable all around US homes, we’ve decided to check a couple of manufacturers. The one standing out was definitely the best-selling electric vehicles manufacturer – Tesla. Since they’re involved in anything related to electricity and energy efficiency, it’s no surprise they are currently aiming for the throne when it comes to the solar panel market.

So, here is what we found.

Tesla Solar Panels – What Makes Them Different

Back in 2016, Tesla acquired SolarCity company and entered the market. Ever since, they have been trying to beat the competition and gain as much percentage of the market share as possible.

The company is currently producing solar panels, solar roofs, and Tesla’s powerwall rechargeable batteries.

Solar panels are standard rectangular panels that have to be installed on the roof. On the other hand, solar roofs use solar shingles to cover the roof and look like tiles. If you want to maximize the current solar system, you can install Tesla solar powerwall batteries and improve the efficiency of energy usage within your property.

What makes regular Tesla solar panels different from their competitors’ is:

• 24/7 monitoring
• Aesthetics
• Streamlined pre-installation

Tesla panels come with a mobile app, and you can keep tabs on all of your panels open at any time from any location. That way, you can track efficiency and power generation and make sure you’re using your panels’ full potential.

Whether it’s something you’re interested in or not, Tesla went a step ahead when it comes to design. Instead of just giving you a solar panel, they made sure it’s low profile and can fit into any neighborhood and any house.

And of course, as you know, having someone check your roof and tell you about the size, shape, etc., is a must. Instead of having people come over and inspect everything, Tesla allows you to send photos of your roof and get assistance on the spot. It makes the process shorter and you will get accurate information immediately. Also, it reduces costs as you can tell your budget, requirements, and more and get some estimates within a few hours.

Tesla Solar Panel Specifications

Here is a brief list of the essential information for all those interested in specifications.

Why does this matter? First of all, with an average panel running around 300 W power, you will need fewer panels for the same amount of electricity. Knowing operating temperatures will help you determine whether solar panels are suitable for your area of living or not. Tesla has larger solar panels than the most manufacturers, again implying you will need fewer to cover the entire roof.  As per inverters, they are obtaining around 97% of efficiency, which is quite incredible.

Speaking of costs, Tesla advertises low-cost solar panels, yet it all depends on the area you live in, size, tax return system, and more. However, their quality is above average, so any money that you invest can only benefit you in the future.
