Solar Roof is gone from public sales. Your Tesla project does not have to be.
Tesla stopped selling Solar Roof through its public website in August 2026. Tesla continues to market conventional Solar Panels and Powerwall. Tesla also states that in areas where it does not provide direct service, Solar Panels may be installed through Tesla Certified Installers. For HUS customers, the practical path is now to evaluate the home as a complete system: roof condition, solar array, Powerwall, electrical service, permitting and utility interconnection. For broader planning, use the Solar Los Angeles planning hub, and review the Los Angeles roofing guide when roof replacement or solar-ready roofing may be part of the project.
HUS does not assume that every address or every project is eligible for the same Tesla equipment or ordering path. We confirm current availability and responsibilities before the written proposal is finalized.
Three ways to build the project
Tesla Solar Panels
Keep a serviceable roof and add a roof-mounted solar array. We review roof condition, panel layout, electrical capacity, utility territory and the equipment available for the address.
Compare all solar panel options →Solar Panels + Powerwall
Pair solar with Tesla Powerwall when battery storage supports your backup goals, rate-plan strategy and project economics. Battery quantity and backed-up loads are designed around the home.
Explore Tesla Powerwall →New Roof + Solar + Powerwall
If the existing roof is near replacement, HUS can coordinate the roofing sequence with solar and battery planning so penetrations, flashing, conduit, equipment locations and warranty responsibilities are addressed before installation.
Plan a solar-ready roof →What HUS reviews before you sign
Current equipment, ordering path and installer responsibilities for your address.
Age, underlayment, decking, tile or shingle condition, penetrations, pitch and solar mounting suitability.
SCE Net Billing Tariff, LADWP requirements or the applicable municipal utility process.
Backup priorities, evening usage, battery location, electrical configuration and available incentive pathways.
Equipment, roof responsibilities, electrical work, permits, inspections, exclusions, allowances, warranties and change-order rules.
Gross project cost, financing terms, current incentives and utility assumptions are reviewed separately so savings are not overstated.
Tesla Solar Panels Los Angeles planning checklist
- Confirm the electric utility and review recent usage before sizing the solar array.
- Inspect roof age, material, drainage, flashing and remaining service life before final panel layout.
- Review electrical service capacity, main panel condition and future EV or heat-pump loads.
- Decide whether Powerwall is needed for backup, evening self-consumption or rate-plan strategy.
- Require a written proposal identifying equipment, permits, utility steps, warranties, exclusions and project responsibility.
Which project path fits the home?
| Project path | Best starting condition | What HUS reviews |
|---|---|---|
| Solar panels | Roof is serviceable | Array size, utility rules, electrical scope and permitting |
| Solar panels + Powerwall | Roof is serviceable and storage is desired | Solar production, backup loads, battery quantity, Gateway and rate strategy |
| New roof + solar + Powerwall | Roof is aging or needs replacement | Roofing sequence, solar layout, waterproofing, electrical scope and battery integration |

Start Solar PlanningTesla Solar Panels: common questions
Can Tesla Solar Panels be installed by a Tesla Certified Installer?
Tesla states that in areas where Tesla does not install directly, Solar Panels may be installed through Tesla Certified Installers. HUS confirms the current project path, equipment and responsibilities for your address before representing a specific Tesla panel package as available.
What should former Solar Roof shoppers compare?
Compare the total installed cost and responsibilities of a new conventional roof plus solar panels and Powerwall against the goals that originally drew you to Solar Roof. Appearance, roof life, mounting method, battery strategy, utility rules, service access and written warranties should all be part of the comparison.
Do I need a new roof before solar?
Not automatically. If the roof is serviceable, a panel installation may be appropriate. If it is aging, leaking or approaching replacement, review roofing first so you do not pay for unnecessary panel removal and reinstallation later.
Can HUS coordinate solar and Powerwall together?
Yes, when the project scope and current equipment path support it. The written proposal should identify the specific equipment, electrical configuration, permits, utility steps, warranties and the party responsible for each part of the work.
How are incentives handled in 2026?
Incentives, tax treatment, SGIP, utility programs and financing depend on eligibility, program funding, equipment, ownership structure, placed-in-service timing, current law and credit approval where applicable. HUS reviews available pathways but does not guarantee eligibility or act as a tax advisor.

Tesla Solar Panels FAQ
Can HUS install Tesla Solar Panels in Los Angeles?
HUS is a Tesla Certified Premium Installer. The current equipment, ordering path and installer responsibility still need to be confirmed for the specific property before the proposal is finalized.
What replaced Tesla Solar Roof for new projects?
For many new projects, the practical path is a conventional roof when replacement is needed, roof-mounted solar panels, and optional Tesla Powerwall battery storage.
Do Tesla Solar Panels require Powerwall?
No. Powerwall is optional. Battery sizing should be based on backup goals, utility rate structure, solar production, electrical capacity and household use.
What should the written estimate include?
The proposal should identify solar equipment, array size, roof assumptions, electrical scope, permits, utility interconnection, Powerwall scope if selected, exclusions, warranties and payment terms.
