Tesla Solar Roof combined roofing and solar generation in an integrated glass-tile system. With public sales now discontinued, homeowners researching the product should compare that original goal with today’s available path: a conventional roof when needed, Tesla Solar Panels or another verified panel option, and Powerwall storage where it fits the home.

Traditional solar panels mount on top of a roof, while Tesla Solar Roof historically replaced the roof surface with integrated solar glass tiles. Because Tesla stopped public Solar Roof sales in August 2026, HUS now uses this comparison to help homeowners understand the legacy product and evaluate current alternatives. For a new project, compare Tesla Solar Panels + Powerwall, solar panel installation in Los Angeles, and, when the roof needs replacement, solar-ready roofing or roof replacement in Los Angeles.
For an existing or previously approved Solar Roof project, our team can coordinate the applicable scope from roof preparation through inspection and activation:
Custom system design sized to your roof and energy goals, plus permitting and California Title 24 compliance.
For an existing or previously approved Solar Roof project, the scope may include full roof tear-off, Solar Roof installation, electrical work and Tesla app integration, subject to the approved written scope.
Optional Tesla Powerwall battery backup, sized to your home and priorities.
Inspection coordination and system activation. Whether you're building a new home or replacing an old roof, you get a seamless experience and a single point of contact throughout.
If you already own Solar Roof, do not assume that an ordinary roofer or solar contractor should remove, replace or alter the energy-producing roof components. Tesla's current owner guidance says suspected Solar Roof damage should be assessed by a Tesla-certified solar technician, and work by an untrained technician may affect warranty coverage.
Current owner references: Tesla Solar Roof system-performance guidance and Solar Roof owner documents.
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.
For an existing or previously approved Solar Roof project, historical and project-specific pricing depends on roof size, pitch, complexity, tile count and energy goals. For a new project, HUS provides a written comparison of currently available roof, solar panel and Powerwall options after the property-specific scope is reviewed. 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 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.
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.
Historical Solar Roof cost depended on roof size, pitch, complexity, tile count and Powerwall configuration. For a current project, HUS provides a written, itemized comparison of available roofing, solar panel and Powerwall options after assessing the home.
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.
For an existing or previously approved Solar Roof project, timing depends on roof size, complexity, permitting, inspection schedules, materials and utility coordination. New projects should be planned around currently available roof, solar panel and Powerwall options.
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. Tesla stopped public Solar Roof sales in August 2026. HUS now directs new-project inquiries to current solar panels, Powerwall and solar-ready roofing while preserving this page for Solar Roof transition research and existing-owner guidance. See our current Solar Roof transition update.
Pricing history, current alternatives and Tesla Solar Roof transition guidance across Los Angeles & Orange County.
If you own, service, or have a previously approved Solar Roof project, use these questions to review the remaining scope. Tesla stopped public Solar Roof sales in August 2026. HUS preserves this checklist for existing owners and previously approved projects; new-project inquiries are directed to currently available solar panels, Powerwall and solar-ready roofing options.
Request confirmation of the current Tesla program position, project eligibility, product allocation, design status and timing before treating the project as ready to install. Ask what is confirmed and what remains conditional. Keep roof preparation and any removal schedule tied to the agreed project plan. The transition notices on this page remain applicable; this checklist does not announce reopened ordering or guarantee a start date.
Ask for the active solar layout, non-generating roofing areas, proposed system capacity and production assumptions. Total roof area is not the same as solar-generating area. Compare shading, orientation, roof geometry and utility assumptions before accepting an energy or savings estimate. Where Solar Roof is not eligible or practical, compare a suitable conventional roof with solar panels as a separate option.
Request a written responsibility schedule for waterproofing, flashing, penetrations, adjoining roof materials, skylights, drainage and electrical work. Identify which products and trade scopes each warranty covers and the contact for a service issue. Do not assume Tesla's product warranty replaces the contractor's workmanship terms or covers every adjoining component.
Have the proposal mark tear-off, decking repairs, underlayment, active and non-generating tiles, transition work, gutters, skylights, electrical upgrades, Powerwall, permits and utility work as included, allowances, options or exclusions where relevant. Record the limits and written approval process for concealed conditions or scope changes. These are questions to resolve, not blanket HUS exclusions. Keep the gross project price separate from financing and incentives that have not been confirmed.
Keep these records: the eligibility confirmation, approved layout and equipment schedule, roof-condition photographs, written scope, change orders, permit and inspection documents, utility approvals where required, monitoring handoff and separate warranty documents. Share photographs only from safe locations; do not climb onto the roof.
