Tesla Solar Tiles: Phase 2 (The Next Generation)Īfter revealing Tesla Solar Tiles to the world In November 2016, very little happened. The Tesla solar roof looks like a normal tile roof, but isn’t cheap. We have the lowest rooftop solar installation costs globally, so I figure Tesla realized they needed to throw in a sweetener if they were going to shift any reasonable quantity of roofs and this is why only Australians are receiving a free ‘Satellite Sunshine’ deal. That’s well over twice what you would pay here for a high-quality tile roof and a standard solar system that size. While no prices for Australia have been given, this Electrek article says a current, Phase 1, solar roof of 400 square metres with 12.3 kilowatts of solar capacity costs from $100,000 to 130,000 Australian dollars.

Up until now, the answer has been - we can’t! But I have good news for Tesla fans and not so good news for people who enjoy getting good value for their money. When can we get these Tesla solar roofs in Australia?.When Elon Musk launched Tesla Solar Roof Tiles four and a half years ago, there was only one question his Australian fans were desperate to know: Note: This post was published on April the first 2021 You won’t believe what Elon Musk has promised the first thousand buyers… Note: There are no Tesla Tile installs in Australia at the moment, and this picture is of Tractile Solar Tiles in Marino, SA. Tesla's acquisition of SolarCity allows for a completely integrated home energy experience-all housed under one company.Tesla’s solar tiles are finally coming to Australia. In the end, disruptions like these are precisely why Tesla acquired SolarCity in November of 2016. Tuscan and French Slate in about six months." Complete Package In response to another Twitter user, Musk explained, "Black glass smooth and textured will be first. Ultimately, he stated that the first styles would be deployed approximately six months before the other style option.
