This panel can put out close to 100 watts czcams.com/users/postUgkxOqI2yqX0XVrhR2BMJciTWrHJpG8FhJyg when positioned in the appropriate southernly direction, tilted to the optimal angle for your latitude/date, and connected to a higher capacity device than a 500. The built in kickstand angle is a fixed at 50 degrees. Up to 20% more power can be output by selecting the actual date and latitude optimal angle.The 500 will only input 3.5A maximum at 18 volts for 63 watts. Some of the excess power from the panel can be fed into a USB battery bank, charged directly from the panel while also charging a 500. This will allow you to harvest as much as 63 + 15 = 78 watts.If this panel is used to charge a larger device, such as the power station, then its full output potential can be realized.
yeah its unfortunate, the contractors will give you a deadline that is actually what they are going for, but usually the people that deliver materials are part of a different crew and if they are late the homeowner gets angry at the installation crew, even tho it wasn't there fault.
@@carholic-sz3qv the one at fully charged are not true solar glass. They are just normal solar tiles embedded inside a normal roof tile. Much less robust and much less reliable.
judging from how many people involved in the work and how many equipment they are using the cost is skyhigh. Maybe he will have to wait till his grandchildren go to college till all the cost paid off.
Thanks for sharing! I've an install (panels + PW) in Dec, and can't wait. But glad to see some of the info on the PW and gateway install ahead of time.

@@ThisGuysTesla Kicked? More like stomped in. 4:15. But thanks for the entertainment. In the construction world, thing gets stomped in, especially high tech items. Heh..🤣
as a german it's just unbelievable why you guys have sooo complicated roof designs with like 15 different surfaces and edges to cover. I mean it looks cool but the job would be done in like half the time if you'd just get a simple sloping or saddle roof :D
It's very common on an older home. Back then, you bought what you could afford and then added on as your family grew. I see it a lot here in Florida too.
Great video! Thank you for doing this. I hope you will do an update and let us know how much electricity you’re generating how much you can sell back to the grid and all that fun stuff. Enjoy your new system
Tesla solar is very nice. Material cost is also high. Just did a self install of a 7.2kW grid tie. Everything including panel, inverters, and sub panels cost $10,800. This was with the enphase system. The enphase system is nice and easy to install since it converts DC to AC right at the panel making the wire and conduit runs easier. The lowest bid I got from a contractor was $24K with lower quality equipment. You can always install the panels on your roof and run the wires and conduit to a central location and hire an electrician/contractor to do the rest.
@@hazeyfla yah! Let's install a system that utilizes the central topology where it's all bottle necked thru a select few inverters which also use fans to actively cool... Which WILL fail... No thanks... DEG BABY!
@@guidedbygreen1480 you have no idea of what you're talking about. So many Enphase failures it's pathetic. I guess you didn't know about Enphase having trouble even making their bills. I've installed well over 1 mW on residential roofs, what is your experience? I'll wait.
Big job! Well done to Tesla by recruiting and training such decent and qualified guys. Super geil! Love your video skills amigo. Keep them coming... Will for sure use your ref code once I order my T. Have a great sunny weekend
@AlexDillman That appears to be a technique to lock in the tiles. I've seen many of the crew do this. The mounts have to be kicked to connect with the clips. In the upcoming video, I show how the tiles hold in place. Once they snap in, they can only be removed with a unique "crowbar"-like tool. I'm guessing the shoes also have a rubber sole for walking on and kicking the tiles into place.
thought the same, but maybe he pays the "extra" per hour: if you watch me + $10.00 if you talk to me all the time + $20.00 if you give me advice + $30.00 if you help or assist me + $40.00
This must have been when solar roofs were brand new so many people on your project when my solar roof was installed 4 guys installed my 26kw roof system in less than 3 days. Although the crew didn't show up until all of the equipment was on site. Also aaaads reeeeee why so many that i couldn't skip. Thank you CZcams I enjoy watching videos that the ads are longer than the video thank you.
Make sure you verify the system performance when they are done. Mine has been installed for a couple months already and its severely underperforming by about 60%. I'm waiting for Tesla to figure out what needs to be done. I'm sure they will fix the problems.
@@ThisGuysTesla I have a 9.5kW system. My roof is very complicated so I'm only expected to get 11,000 kWh per year. Currently I'm on pace for only 4,500 kWh. It's a huge discrepancy. I'm hopeful that it's as simple as some strings that are not connected. Still waiting for Tesla to come to the table with a plan but I still have not submitted my second half of the payment.
That's good to know. There should be some reduction due to being close to Winter and lower sun position but this seems excessive. I'll have a look out and def. make a video about the performance of the system.
I'm also evaluating the solar roof in Florida. The system size quoted is for the panels only. There are losses due to cables, inverter and panel orientation. The key number is the quoted yearly production. To estimate the design efficiency, I took their quoted yearly production of 28,017 KWH divided by 365 days times average solar hours for florida. Net size = 28,017 / (365 * 5.69) = 13.5KW. So the quoted 21.6KW system only nets 13.5Kw of power. Eff = 13.5kw / 21.6kw = 62%
@@ThisGuysTesla yes you can assume this time of year will be slightly less than average production but I'm taking that into account also. I'm a big proponent of Tesla so I hope this is a simple issue and not a major screw up on their part.
Well, they are supposed to be hail proof. Sturdier than tile or slate roof, so yeah, good thing it can take a kick. Slate or tile probably wouldn't be able to handle a kick like that.
You are one lucky bastard! I plan on doing the same thing but mine is going inside my garage. My power walls Inverters etc. I was wondering if I don’t have drywall inside my garage with the install of those connections inside the wall and then I can drywall around them just like the fuse panel so nothing is sticking out of the drywall?
Yeah, I’m concerned about keeping a roughly organized look. I’ve read that in cooler climates they prefer the batteries to be in conditioned spaces. I wonder is some of the transfer boxes or inverters could be outside. I wouldn’t mind the powerwall itself inside in a living space, but I’d like more of the heavy conduit and various gray boxes outside.
Maybe it was part of the contract / terms. ... I give you a nice discount, but this project has to be a training zone for my employees. Also, we get to have a bbq outing for the company on the roof during lunch time...
Great & Might pleasure to see it, Please continue this video & explain the further using activities that how its reliable or user friendly....Am also looking forward to install ...Thanks for showing the operation & pls do the video right beginning when its starts to work....its most important & so much waiting for ...how its gonna to work.... So kindly update all the operation step by step.... All the very best & Take care....Stay Safe
Good luck to any normal thief to steal a powerwall, they would have to disconnect it in the right places and remove it off that wall... Impossible to do fast and would probably take a long time
We stomp on the panels because the metal prongs behind them are big while the feet we’re putting them on are small *We measure each tile to secure proper feet position* yes it’s procedure to stomp on these...From the glass tiles to PV tiles...They can withstand a swing of a hammer for sure. Some coworkers slightly mush the tiles in with a shove of their foot ... I stomp on everything😂💪🏽💫
i hope there is delay built-in before transfering power from the power wall because refrigerator and a/c unit (unless digital inverter compressor) must not turn right away during the transfer.
if you can imagine how much just shingles cost these days, plus panels, and the look is not optimal, then the roof is the way to go - especially if you are building a new house.
The roof have waves can be fixed only needs just overlay redecking but this roofers looks like the only learn how to install the panels. If the have a high wind one time the panel can be damage and put the integrity of the roof in risk. I hope Tesla need to redesign how to install the panels o talk with the roofing contractor to do a 100% correctly no bumps o weak spots in the roof. I’m a roofer installer no contractor but always make sure my the costumers get what the pay . A good satisfying final product!
thank you for sharing your experience. I recently had mine installed and did not have a good experience. the first day i had to help unload the truck cause the materials showed up with no tesla crew. Just a delivery guy with the materials. The install took about 3 weeks and then it took 2 months to get the Permission To Operate. This was mainly because Tesla had a delay in getting the proper paperwork submitted and lack of communication. I did have a few mishaps during my install. One of the nails hit a water line that went up into my roof for a 2nd floor shower i have, but they squared that away and there was a large hole cut in my attic that wasnt replaced. The system worked for 2 weeks producing about half the energy the system was estimated to produce and the inverter has died as of yesterday. No lights on it and solar is not producing power now. Support was notified this morning, but there seems to be no urgency in getting it fixed.. I was told it maybe next week before someone looks at it. Not the type of quality service i was expecting.. I will say the install crew though was the best part of my experience, its too bad things fall apart after that for the customer experience.
Had the same thing on my install Literally had to yell on them to fix it. Took them three months, they will keep lying to you it’s software update issue on inverter But it’s not. Either a wiring issue or tiles installed wrong & not in the right string. Yes they missed solar tiles on my install
@@nickneber3273 thank you for the insight. It's too bad the App doesn't allow for seeing individual tile performance. Had to call Tesla yesterday cause there was no follow up on my support request. I was told it's with scheduling now and it could take 3 weeks for someone to reach out and setup for someone to come up. Ridiculous! Escalated to my PM who handled the install, hopefully this issue will get some action.
@@Padgamer you will need to be on top of this, your install PM will not do anything, you will need to talk to customer escalation manager that’s only when you get some movement.
The fact that I just watched some guy kicking one of the roof panels 4:15 in to place almost made me spit my food out of the mouth while I was eating. I would have been telling that guy, WTF are you doing kicking one of my Tesla tiles?!?!?!?!?!?????!!!!!!
We place wire in a connector spot above each foot “usually we’ll check if there are wires that aren’t clipped before stomping...stomping is proper protocol these tiles / PV can take it
I put my 100$ down and got on the wait list around April of 2019 and my project (roof plus three power walls) started in February of 2020. Unfortunately, due to Tesla communication errors, my system has never been fully up and running for more than a week. Every Tesla employee who I have met has been completely professional and competent, but communication can come from Las Vegas, Palo Alto, or from your local region. I can only guess that their growing pains are most magnified in unbelievably poor communication and project management. My original local PM was fired along with many others in the NE recently. I get so many mixed messages and unanswered messages that I exhausted. One of my inverters keeps failing and I am paying giant electric bills but I have a sharp looking roof. I still feel confident that eventually the work will get done but I have a different crew here every other week and I have had my PTO from my utility since April! Just have to stay patient and pray….very frustrating and very unlike the Tesla image portrayed everywhere.
Is any homebuilder offering Tesla roofs as an option yet? If not, it seems to me that this is still in beta. Because on a new house, the extra installation is avoided and you don’t need to design the roof for every single house, as generally they have many homes with a particular roof layout.
Hahaha that dude stomping in that roof tile 😂

One of the nails hit a water line that went up into my roof for a 2nd floor shower i have, but they squared that away and there was a large hole cut in my attic that wasnt replaced. The system worked for 2 weeks producing about half the energy the system was estimated to produce and the inverter has died as of yesterday. No lights on it and solar is not producing power now. Support was notified this morning, but there seems to be no urgency in getting it fixed.. I was told it maybe next week before someone looks at it. Not the type of quality service i was expecting.. I will say the install crew though was the best part of my experience, its too bad things fall apart after that for the customer experience.
Bummer. Keep us posted here on how things progress with your system.
Had the same thing on my install
Literally had to yell on them to fix it.
Took them three months, they will keep lying to you it’s software update issue on inverter
But it’s not.
Either a wiring issue or tiles installed wrong & not in the right string.
Yes they missed solar tiles on my install
@@nickneber3273 thank you for the insight. It's too bad the App doesn't allow for seeing individual tile performance. Had to call Tesla yesterday cause there was no follow up on my support request. I was told it's with scheduling now and it could take 3 weeks for someone to reach out and setup for someone to come up. Ridiculous! Escalated to my PM who handled the install, hopefully this issue will get some action.
@@Padgamer you will need to be on top of this, your install PM will not do anything, you will need to talk to customer escalation manager that’s only when you get some movement.
Congrats on getting your system installed.
Thank you!
Really good job putting this together! Enjoy your roof!
The fact that I just watched some guy kicking one of the roof panels 4:15 in to place almost made me spit my food out of the mouth while I was eating. I would have been telling that guy, WTF are you doing kicking one of my Tesla tiles?!?!?!?!?!?????!!!!!!
The stiles get kicked into the metal hinges by a rubber shoe. We show how the tiles hook in in this video: czcams.com/video/97nPyMl9TLw/video.html
Cool they took care of the garbage , that is awesome!
How kind of the construction crew to empty your neighbors cans! I cannot wait to have my system installed later this year.
Uh.. that was factor in on the contract.
I hope they put a lightening arrestor and earthing. Did not see that in the video.
Did he kick the solarpanel at 4:20? Lol.

Stomping on the electrical solar panel/module, wow. There is going to be a lot of troubleshooting down the road for that product.

We place wire in a connector spot above each foot “usually we’ll check if there are wires that aren’t clipped before stomping...stomping is proper protocol these tiles / PV can take it
your music makes the video really teslasy 😃
Solar roof = Tesla monitoring the world 😱
That’s a big crew they have
I put my 100$ down and got on the wait list around April of 2019 and my project (roof plus three power walls) started in February of 2020. Unfortunately, due to Tesla communication errors, my system has never been fully up and running for more than a week.
Every Tesla employee who I have met has been completely professional and competent, but communication can come from Las Vegas, Palo Alto, or from your local region. I can only guess that their growing pains are most magnified in unbelievably poor communication and project management. My original local PM was fired along with many others in the NE recently. I get so many mixed messages and unanswered messages that I exhausted.
One of my inverters keeps failing and I am paying giant electric bills but I have a sharp looking roof. I still feel confident that eventually the work will get done but I have a different crew here every other week and I have had my PTO from my utility since April!
Just have to stay patient and pray….very frustrating and very unlike the Tesla image portrayed everywhere.
This is a bad ass documentary!
Man Tesla is just an awesome company
Thank you for your videos..
Time for this installation to pay itself back, 100 years.
7.8 years.
Really?!! Damn. That's excellent!
Old solar panels used to get micro cracks, not the Tesla panels, they are somp proof! 4:15 :-)
Congratulations! Nice setup!
Thank you! Cheers!
If the roof has a higher value then the house ;) ....great information thank you for sharing - looks still very complicated to pull it off.
the land "outvalues" both the roof and the house :)
Awesome video man.
Well done thx for the information and great shots.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for this video. I love these Things!
Yuck. Drinking too much Elon Kool aid.
crazy labor. this is a luxury product.
The garbage detail , awesomeness on the company, top notch
Boys making that bread 🍞...
Is any homebuilder offering Tesla roofs as an option yet?
If not, it seems to me that this is still in beta. Because on a new house, the extra installation is avoided and you don’t need to design the roof for every single house, as generally they have many homes with a particular roof layout.
I am sure they will find some easier methods to install roof tiles in due course
I think so too
Amazing roof, Please keep us posted
Regards from Athens Greece..
Amazing good job
