Expert Electricians in Minneapolis, MN

Each PV shingle is a small scale solar panel that produces 72watts of electricity. That electricity can be stored via batteries and used or sent to the grid to offset usage.

A Tesla Solar Roof can generate an enormous range of energy, starting from very low production for small homes to large production for larger homes or businesses. The lowest kilowatt roof we have installed was a 4KW roof, while the highest we have installed is a 51KW roof. Those aren't lower and upper limits, it's just the range of what our customers have needed! How much kilowatts your Solar Roof can produce is largely based on the photovoltaic tiles (or PV tiles) used to build your roof. Each tile produces 72W of energy, but your roof will also have basic tempered glass tiles that can't produce energy. Our Solar Roof experts will determine how many PV tiles are needed to satisfy your energy needs. Remember, sometimes local regulations will limit how many kilowatts your roof can produce, so it's possible you won't have enough PV tiles to meet all of your energy needs and truly go "off-grid." We'll let you know about the specific regulations in your area and how much kilowatts your roof will be allowed to produce.

Traditional solar panels are fixtures that are installed on your roof. Their kilowatt production is comparable to Solar Roof, and sometimes they are a better choice for roofs that have a design that just doesn't work for the PV tiles used in Solar Roof installations. Like Solar Roof, traditional panels reduce your carbon footprint and are a step towards energy independence. Solar Roof, on the other hand, is the roof. The PV tiles and non-functional tempered glass tiles replace the shingles used in traditional roofs. They are extremely durable, and also create a sleek aesthetic that makes your roof look amazing. Solar Roof is also designed to easily work with products like Powerwall, a Tesla-branded battery that stores excess electricity. Our solar product experts will help you to determine which solar product is right for your home or for your energy needs.
