@John_Gardi

I've always been a tinker. I started by taking stuff apart. Then I learned how to put stuff back together, then how to fix it. It's a way of life for me really.

    First look at #Tesla's solar roof tile technology with custom fittings: https://electrek.co/2019/06/13/tesla-solar-roof-tile-techonology-custom-fittings/ … via @FredericLambert Having done MANY roofs myself, I finally think @elonmusk has got it right. These tiles can be cut (ones without solar cells) & installed just like normal shingles.

        A closer look at #Tesla's tiles shows how they are probably attached to the roof. The tabs on the left of the tiles could be nailed or screwed down. There are tabs under the tiles that stop the overlap at the right place. (Note that roof tiles are installed from the bottom up.)pic.twitter.com/wEwBL3i5rm

        I THINK @Tesla has eliminated the need for a sub-layer to attach the tiles to by bonding the mounting hardware to the tile itself. A row of solar tiles could be connected together, flipped over & installed. This system allows the underside of the tiles to breath & act as a vent.

        I was wondering why this tweet generated so much traffic until someone pointed out that @elonmusk liked it earlier today: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/likes

        I want this, priced it out, but $51K is just too much.

        It depends on who finances it and how. If #Tesla sets themselves up as a utility company, it could work out to be a lot cheaper.

        Exactly! You'd need a really good blade on the chop saw to cut through the glass part of the tile cleanly but other than that... I'm assuming the tile mount is plastic with the glass tiles and solar cells bounded on top. It look like every tile has 3 solar cells & one connector.

        I’m in after thousands try it and vouch for it. Too expensive to early adopt.

        You know Elon, the day after tomorrow! But really, it looks like they've managed to simplify the Solar Roof system quite a lot from the first iteration. If #Tesla can completely automate the manufacture of the tiles, it could ramp up pretty quick.
