In fact people can harness the power of the sun and turn it into electricity by using rooftop solar panels.
How does solar roof work.
Pv devices take over not replace your electrical grid.
Tesla actually offers two types of glass tile solar tile and non solar tile and both.
Solar tiles and non solar tiles.
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.

Solar roof turns sunlight into electricity obviously.
You ll incur your usual electricity generation rates but you won t lose electricity at all.
First sunlight in the form of photons hit the solar panels on your roof or ground mount.
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.
Well they work in the same way solar panelsdo by turning sunlight into electricity.
But with an integrated tesla powerwall.
But they can be fitted onto your roof snugly to match the design you want and they look like regular roofing tiles.
