Whatever happened to “solar shingles”? There were supposed to be a couple of companies making them, but you never see them on houses.
As far as I understand it they are just a worse solution than mounting standard solar panels on a roof. More expensive, less efficient, thus only gonna get used for aesthetic reasons.
Kinda like solar roadways and some other on the surface cool sounding but in practice niche technologies.
They are more expensive and less efficient. Very few people use them.
Wasn't Elon pushing solar shingles/roofs a couple of years back?
They were a scam to justify his self-bailout of Solarcity with Tesla funds.
...
A few years later...
Man he was shilling hard for that, then all of a sudden he just stopped. I read a good number of stories about the solar shingles overheating, catching fire, burning down, malfunctioning...probably related to him going silent on them.
I've had my doubts about that stuff since I heard about it.
Perhaps it's better as a concept than it is in the real world, with real world conditions.
Tesla solar was one of the companies, yes. GAF was also making them and I think a couple of others had them in development.
Yeah a racist asshole killed that. It could have been good.
Well, would you notice them if you did see them? The whole idea is they blend in...
Yes, because they don't look like asphalt.
