In Elon Musk\'s view, the future of energy lies in solar energy.
Tesla CEO reiterated this view many times at a press conference at Universal Studios on Friday, where he let customers see for the first time the integrated solar roof solution combining Tesla and SolarCity technology\"[I\'m]
[Quite confident]that]
\"Over time, if done correctly, each roof will be solar,\" Musk said . \".
On November 2016, PC Magazine was surrounded by Hollywood sets on both sides. viewers of Desperate Housewives, Musk and other programs were familiar with SolarCity executives, who revealed his promise, this will be more effective and last longer than traditional roof tiles.
Surprisingly, everyone gathered in the general parking lot is equipped with a solar roof, which consists of glass bricks embedded in solar cells.
According to Musk, they have completed the redo in two weeks and may run.
It\'s hard to say from the street that these are solar roofs because the panels tend to be bulky and unattractive.
However, the roof-
Tesla and SolarCity will be installed from next summer-
There are four different styles (
Textured glass tile, slate glass tile, Tuscan Glass Tile and smooth glass tile).
According to Musk, their designs give priority to aesthetics.
He said it is important to make the solar roof \"as attractive as an electric vehicle\", one of the concerns surrounding the commercial viability of the product.
GIPHY provides tools for converting vines into gifs in the daytime, tiles will collect sunlight and store energy in the latest generation of product Powerwall 2, which is also shown in the event.
Powerwall is lithium-
Ion batteries for home, can consume power and store in case of emergency and when the sun does not shine.
Powerballs can be installed on walls and have the potential to replace the generator for decades.
In a blog post posted before the event, Tesla unveiled a new detail for Powerpack 2, which will provide twice the energy density, more seamless grids including batteries, power electronics include heat pipe management and control for enterprises.
Millions of Americans will get new roofs in a year.
Musk hopes that 90% of all roofs will be equipped with solar energy in the coming decades.
With the combination of Powerpack, Powerwall and solar roof, Musk hopes that more people will be solar friendly rather than owning Tesla electric vehicles.
NASA received final data from the Pluto mission, saying: \"It would be very strange to have a roof that will not generate energy in the future . \".
The new roof ensures high efficiency and environmental protection (
Musk said he hopes the technology will actually improve the efficiency of solar cells), and cost-efficient.
Officials did not provide exact figures on how long they will last, but Musk said solar cells are expected to last longer than the house.
