Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk has unveiled a building-integrated solar photovoltaic panel, with the aim to make rooftop solar more affordable, better looking and longer lasting that a regular tiled roof.
In collaboration with SolarCity, the jointly branded camouflaged solar panel eliminates the need for separate roofing materials and solar panels traditionally used in roof-mounted solar.
Instead, the stylish glass roofing tiles have photovoltaics embedded into the material, creating a seamless look nearly indistinguishable from conventional tiling.
