Tesla actually offers two types of glass tile solar tile and non solar tile and both.
How does solar roof work.
Well they work in the same way solar panelsdo by turning sunlight into electricity.
When the photons energy from sunlight hits the rooftop solar panel the solar panel converts the photons to electrons of direct current dc electricity.
But with an integrated tesla powerwall.
Tuscan glass tiles slate glass tiles textured glass tiles and smooth glass tiles.
They re made with specific materials that naturally undergo an electronic process in the presence of sunlight.
Direct current electricity can flow out to electricity safety devices.
From a distance they look like ordinary roof shingles.
Solar shingles are an integrated photovoltaic pv building product which means they directly generate electricity from sunlight.
But up close it s obvious they re more than that.
Solar roof turns sunlight into electricity obviously.
Pv devices take over not replace your electrical grid.
How does tesla solar roof work.
This electricity is then used to power your home.
The panels convert the energy from freed electrons to dc current which then flows to an inverter and is converted from dc electricity to ac electricity.
In fact people can harness the power of the sun and turn it into electricity by using rooftop solar panels.
Going green with solar.
In the event that your solar roof tiles need repairs or fail due to other causes you can simply switch back to using the electrical grid that normally powers your home.
But they can be fitted onto your roof snugly to match the design you want and they look like regular roofing tiles.
Tesla offers a number of styles.
