Is the Solar Roof right for you?
Traditional solar panels mount on top of your existing roof. The Tesla Solar Roof is the roof — solar glass tiles replace your shingles, so you get a brand-new roof and a solar system in a single project. It’s a strong fit if your roof is aging or due for replacement and you want a clean, integrated look instead of rack-mounted panels. If you’d rather keep your current roof, see solar panel installation in Los Angeles or, if your roof needs work first, solar-ready roofing. For a standard new roof without solar, see roof replacement in Los Angeles — including asphalt shingle, tile and flat roofing, or roof repair if the roof just needs a fix.

Store solar power. Plan for outages.
Pairing your Solar Roof with one or more Tesla Powerwall batteries can store solar energy and may support selected loads during outages, depending on system design and battery reserve. Depending on your home’s electrical load and the number of Powerwalls installed, backup can cover your whole home or essential circuits. We’ll help you size the system to match your priorities. Before signing, compare the Powerwall cost guide, the Powerwall review, and the Solar Roof and Powerwall planning guide.
Custom-priced, itemized, and honest.
Every Tesla Solar Roof is custom-priced based on roof size, pitch, complexity, tile count, and your energy goals, so we provide a written, itemized estimate rather than a one-size-fits-all number. Some projects still require tax-credit review, especially where ownership structure, placed-in-service date, battery configuration, or third-party financing may change the analysis. For 2026 homeowner-owned residential solar, do not assume the old federal residential solar tax credit applies. When adding a Powerwall, SGIP or utility incentive pathways may be worth reviewing, but they remain subject to eligibility, program funding, reservation status, administrator approval, and current law. We also offer financing options, subject to credit approval. Ask a qualified tax professional about credits that apply to your installation. For typical 2026 LA pricing ranges and when Solar Roof beats roof-plus-panels, see our guide to Tesla Solar Roof cost in Los Angeles.
Review Tesla’s warranty terms.
Review expected production, utility assumptions, Tesla app monitoring, current Tesla warranty documents and installer workmanship terms before signing. Energy savings depend on system size, usage, utility rates, rate plan, battery settings and sunlight.
Questions LA homeowners ask.
The Tesla Solar Roof is a complete roof made of solar glass tiles that generate electricity, combined with matching non-solar tiles. Instead of mounting panels on top of an existing roof, the tiles are the roof, giving you a new roof and a solar system in one project.
Solar panels attach to your current roof; the Solar Roof replaces it. The Solar Roof suits homeowners who need a new roof anyway and want an integrated look, while panels are often the more economical choice if your existing roof is in good shape.
Cost depends on roof size, pitch, complexity, tile count, and whether you add a Powerwall. Because every roof is different, we provide a written, itemized estimate after assessing your home rather than a flat price.
Battery backup is optional. Adding one or more Tesla Powerwall batteries stores solar energy and provides backup power. Coverage can be whole-home or essential circuits, depending on your load and the number of Powerwalls.
Tax treatment, SGIP and utility incentives should be reviewed using current program rules — subject to eligibility, program funding, project timing and current rules. Home Upgrade Specialist is not a tax advisor; consult a qualified tax professional.
Timing depends on roof size and complexity and on permitting and inspection schedules. Because a Solar Roof includes a full roof replacement, it typically takes longer than a standard panel install. We confirm your timeline during the estimate.
Tesla publishes Solar Roof warranty terms that homeowners should review in current documents. Review coverage, exclusions and workmanship terms before signing.
We serve Los Angeles County and Orange County. Project availability, property access, roof conditions and final service scope are confirmed during the estimate.
