Florida Tesla Solar Roof Installers

Converting Solar Power

Solar energy produces multiple spectrums of light; even moonlight generates power. The energy is collected by your Tesla Solar Roof as DC (Direct Current). It passes through a Power Inverter where the power is converted to AC (Alternating Current) and used as your primary power source. If the roof area is large enough, you may never need utility power again.

Tesla Powewall Battery Backup
In the event of a power outage or nightfall, power is pulled from your Tesla Powerwall. Backup generators can take up to 10 minutes to start, but Powerwall has a nearly instant start, so you won’t notice a power outage. Your Powerwall recharges with solar, giving you virtually infinite access to electricity

Cost Comparison
Pricing is based on the size of the roof, the size of the PV array, and the number of Powerwall battery backups chosen. Tesla’s online calculator is a great starting point for basic pricing. 

Kelly Roofing will help you decide if investing in a new roof now or maintaining your existing one makes more financial sense. We try to pair a large enough PV array and Powerwalls to eliminate the need to use utility company electricity for maximum efficiency and early payback.

Tesla Solar Roof vs. Other Solar Roofs

Tesla Solar Roofs are the first and only solar photovoltaic array that is both the roofing material and the power-producing panel in one. This provides a premium roof system that pays for itself over time. 

Tesla Roofs are guaranteed for 25 years, which covers all the roof components as well, providing one of the most comprehensive warranties in the roofing industry. 

Solar Roof tiles are more than three times stronger than standard roofing tiles and are engineered for all-weather protection.

Tesla Solar Roof FAQ

Solar roofs and solar panels differ primarily in their integration with the roof. Solar panels are separate components installed on top of an existing roof, while solar roofs incorporate solar cells directly into the roofing material. Solar roofs offer a more aesthetically pleasing and integrated look, but they typically come with a higher price tag compared to solar panels. Conversely, solar panels are generally more affordable and widely available.

A Tesla Solar Roof is a roof that incorporates solar cells into the roofing material. Unlike traditional solar panels that are installed on top of a roof, solar tiles are integrated directly into the roofing structure. This innovative design allows for a seamless and aesthetically pleasing appearance while generating clean energy for your home. Tesla offers various tile styles to match different architectural preferences, making it a visually appealing and sustainable option for homeowners.

Yes, Tesla Solar Roofs are designed to withstand severe weather conditions. They’ve undergone rigorous testing to ensure they can handle high winds, and hail. Tesla has even shared images of Solar Roofs that survived hurricanes with minimal damage, demonstrating their durability. While no roof is completely invincible, the Tesla Solar Roof is engineered to be a resilient choice for homeowners in areas prone to extreme weather. Florida is the ideal location for a Tesla Solar Roof due to the amount of sunlight the state receives. Additionally, Tesla Solar Roofs have proven their durability in Florida’s hurricane-prone environment, offering peace of mind to homeowners.

A Tesla Solar Roof is essentially a traditional roof that’s been integrated with solar technology. The roof is composed of specialized tiles that look like traditional roofing materials but incorporate solar cells. These solar cells convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. These specialized tiles are built with tempered glass so they are able to withstand severe weather, such as high winds and hail. The DC electricity generated by the solar tiles is then sent to a solar inverter. This device converts the DC electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity, which is the type of electricity used in homes. The AC electricity produced by the inverter can be used to power your home’s appliances and lights. Any excess electricity can be stored in a Powerwall battery (if you have one) or sent back to the grid for potential credits.
