Glass roof is the future of solar energy.
Elon musk has unveiled a redesign of tesla s solar roof tiles dubbed solar glass roof the new roof design will cost around 42 500 for a 2 000 square foot roof with 10kw of solar capacity.
The solar roof and the sleek glass roof tiles appear to be just the answer musk was seeking for tesla s entrance into the solar industry.
The third version arrived yesterday.
To complicate that it s a roof that is composed of a bunch of interlocking solar panels.
The new system is not a series of panels to be attached to an existing roof but are roofing tiles themselves.
