Tesla's Solar Tiles - My Thoughts

few

solar roofing tiles - they cant cut that power!
_no power bills_
pays for itself!
_lustiDiD_

I wrote about this in the 1990's formally to my own blog in the 2010's I as a science fiction author this was the wave of the future, just just as here yet as tesla makes it. BioWebScape was here.

Great video! (As always) A couple of remarks this time though:

1) not "each and every tile" is a solar panel. They alternate between real and fake ones to keep the cost down

2) it is not only that these roofs are cheaper than normal roofs when factoring in energy savings, they are cheaper than normal roofs, period! With the exception of flat asphalt roofs, but you can't see these from the streets so Elon advices to still use regular solar panels anyway in this case.

lets say in 20 to 30 years there are at least 4 generations of tesla powerwalls that are genuinely advanced in design, capacity and lode functionality or user intuitive. Smart marketing would see a buyback/replacement discount scheme to purchasers of early generation 1 tech to sure up future sales and generate early capital for R&D and future production set up. Being an Aussie aswell it astounds me that we still use fossil fuels to generate most of our power requirements. DC to AC inversion tech is totally sound and functional now. Solar, hydro and wind keep improving with momentum in smart innovation. The only weak link still is storage. Battery technology still has away to go. I can't help but feel wet cell is still a better option for large capacity in non freezing parts of the globe. The surface area used by cement in most homes/apartments could be structual batteries with longevity applications by being serviceable for maintaining electrolyte cathodes and anodes. Basically top up your battery by hosing of your driveway and every 10yrs or so the serviceman comes and swaps out the plates.

id love to dumpster dive there.....

Congrats on the 1m sub mark!

*Thank you for your help reconditioning my batteries .I was just about to throw out 3 old batteries that I thought were completely dead. But I was able to recondition them using your methods in less than 1 hour [Check Details Here==>**https://docs.google.com/document/d/163kspciMT9QSUlNAvv0MT-ezkqtKCoEIdoxzlystrFQ/edit?usp=sharing** ]! This just save me hundreds of dollars.*

yes, but how would this work for apartments? I'm on the first floor of a 5 storey apt building. So how do they get around that obstacle?

Is there any monetization on your videos? I didn't get ads...

I genuinely mean this when I say
" this is the greatest channel on YouTube "
Well done sir

Any thoughts on how solar roofings could be implemented in flat roofed buildings?

The current architecture used to power guns are incompatible with these shingles, making them only 5% capable of absorbing solar rays even while at the perfect angle/peak hours, therefore the home owners must surrender their firearms before these are installed.

Go on I love your videos. May be if those nagers watched your videos, they would be one time positive. So go on. Triple thums up.

Food 4 thought :



Losing your home (house rather) equity to a company, or the state - is that what they call "energy independence"? What do you expect from them, when the sec refuses to prosecute a ceo who would take a billion dollars of company funds to hire one Howard Stern, and then say to shareholders, sorry kids, but if we only had two hundred million dollars to keep from going bankrupt, what will we do? .. And so, ceo karmazin sold about half the company (sirius xm) to liberty media to raise the necessary funds to remain a going concern... when government promotes fraud, thievery, or looks the other way, refusing to hear, you know tyranny is coming.
Liberty media - they used to issue "tracking
stock". If you bought all the issued tracking
stock, you would not own the company - that
paper was void with respect to conferring
ownership rights - and nobody at the sec, or
other levels of the us government protested.
The biggest threat to freedom is us politicians - the majority of whom seem to be guilty of treason. And so they move the earthlings closer
to global tyranny and the reign of antichrist.
All these church places where ZIANism (eugenics) is promoted, is run by them, the synagogue of satan.


Losing your house? Ppa agreement, is that what they call rental agreements now? $TSLA $Scty The trouble with Tesla-Solarcity is that THEY tell U how much electricity U is using, remotely, and so charge. Wakeup Nigga! ...

In Canada, they are called SMARTREADERS - the hydroelectric company decides how much electricity you used, how much you will pay - remotely. No longer do they send a guy to your house to read the monitor located on the side of your house which is difficult to tamper with. They decide, and not an independent observer - the monitor which neither the company or you control. .... Think of how McDonald's operates, or newspaper stands operate - handing out burgers and information, anonymously, thus preventing somebody from getting preferential treatment because of the colour of their skin, gender, or religion, et cetra. .... But sodomites, they desire a political economy where everybody knows each other - ftrom feudal "go to confession" days to "modern psychiatry" they seek to know other males. Sodomites, eugenicists, and satanists are one and the same - for their philosophies support each other. There is not much difference between nazis and communists, for both are about control over other persons' bodies, especially the males. The culture of sodom was not about same gender consensual relationships (although that was no doubt part of it) but nonconsensual invasion of privacy (desiring to know another, and acting upon that desire) : It was a culture that promoted sexual assault, especially upon males by other males.

He unveiled the solar tiles today. They're costing an average of 21.85 USD per squared meter. And they look awesome.

A healthy is it? Say something about the magnetic fields!
And how will the roof be cleaned from the dust?

대박이 안다. 그런데 그냥 지나쳐. 나중에 알게 될것이다. 왜 나와는지 . 악몽인가보다 쉽게.

@4:42 did i just see a little Tesla for rich toddlers?

Are going to make video about Sony Xperia touch?

wtf you said mierda

Spanish eléctric company Endesa is cutting power supply to eldery people, please bring them solar Panels over to Spain!

AWSOME !!! I just subcribed because of your post. Thanks for the information.

Graphene is the answer

The tiles make so much sense...

Sadly it won't be become mainstream until the government figures out how to tax the sun. Once they can figure out how to force it's people (slaves) to pay some never ending BS tax, then they will allow you to transition from oil to solar.

what about storm?does it can survive?

What we're seeing is a reversion of the industrial revolution.

The industrial revolution brought a lot of people together, so it made sense to create a power plant, a sewage treatment plant, water pumping station, etc... massive things that handled public needs in-bulk.

What we're seeing now is a push for people to have the choice to be responsible for that themselves... with their own power generation, sewage treatment, etc at their own home, business, etc.

This has happened for a few reasons

1) cost has come down enough for more folks to experiment with it

2) telecommuting has allowed more higher-paid knowledge workers to move out into rural areas away from the city since they don't have to commute.. and since they have more money, they can afford to experiment with self-sufficiency (when you end up with a large, high-end clientele, it usually makes it easier for ideas to go more main-stream and gain momentum)

3) Technology has progressed enough for this to feel "high tech" instead of "stone age". Solar and wind power is easier to install. Composting and black/gray water treatment is easier to build into properties and very self-sufficient to cut down on water usage and increase landscape greenery. Things aren't so complicated or "icky" or hippy... hurdles that kept them from getting adopted.

4) external prices from bulk provider has pushed folks to look for self-sufficent solutions. As our energy grid spends money to convert to a smart grid, it passes the cost onto customers. This increases electric bills. As waste and water treatment plants keep increasing costs, they pass it on to customers. So, customers want to explore self-sufficient power, water treatment, etc.

5) people are liking the control they regain in their lives... by handling your own power, water, food, etc needs, you feel self-sufficient. By using technology to do it, you feel high-tech instead of like a savage.

There will still be certain places where bulk-processing or provision is useful, but even big companies are looking into their own waste treatment and electric generation. Some colleges that do the experiments use composting toilets in certain buildings, have collection in the basement, then use it as mulch for the grounds after it's composted. They have solar and wind power solutions. They experiment with thermal solutions in colder climates. These ideas get refined, then businesses can take up the ideas and pass them on to consumers. And the consumer sector keeps growing as we see more people moving away from the city (either b/c they have a mobile work lifestyle going where the work is or they telecommute) and prices of providers keeps going up to prompt folks to solve the problem themselves to save money.

why is it taking so long for solar powered machines to be practically successful in the market.? 😎

Genius👏🏻 hope big Saudi oil and u.s military industrial complex don't sabotage this venture into solar

good video, keep working hard

Now we need solar windows, solar signs (meaning the actual sign is a solar panel) and solar walls!

Put these on your dream house...sexy casa!

my home runs totally on free energy! I tapped in to my neighbors power! Shhhhh......... 😎💬

You gave an overview, but are there any problems? Cost? Durability? Or just a sales pitch for Musk?

wouldn't the Solar panels be inefficiënt?
they dont seem to have a transparant cover. And they overlap do IT wouldn't be fully used.

can you explain the oil crisis or whatever problem is going on in Australia?

the people who are really pushing against elon musk are people who stand to lose a lot of their potential money.

Hopefully this becomes available worldwide, especially 3rd world countries.

Why couldnt this billionaire have won the election.

lol I line in Western Australia, Perth were tanner fox come over to like last year

Re comments: Solar panels are beautiful to me too. How about on the sun exposed walls of your buildings? Called "Integrated Photo Voltaics". Its all there, just do it. Why wait for a highly combustible chemical combination to be put in the walls of your bedrooms? Just go do it and store all your energy somewhere else. Bet if it were paper fiat money or bitcoin or gold you would figure out where and how to store it. Like making gun powder with all the extra energy you will harvest each day and setting it off at night when you forget how to start your fusion device because it got too COLD! Thanks again. Mostly have fun I hope and not blow yourselves up. Not too much trial and error if you can stop for a few minutes and think about it.

This is new? You are right . . . So? Get it right and there is so much energy coming to earth each day that it is completely silly we don't just 'scoop' it up.
Are solar panels water proof? Well what do you do with waterproof things? How about putting them on your roof and use them as a water barrier. Can you make electricity at the same time? Yes. Pretty simple. Now what if you actually think some more?
Try this: 15% of the sun's energy hitting your roof (solar panels) ends up electricity energy (watts). So what about the other 85%? Not too far to the conclusion . . . or next step. +Cold Fusion. Cold fusion actually exists! So if that can exist how about Common Sense? I don't see why not. Do you really care if your roof looks glassey? How about if your utility bill = zero? Would you trade for that?
Now, when you really decide to get to the design of your home you can consider the earth beneath it. Things can get even better . . . if you learn to accept cold fusion as a fact and thinking a necessity you will appreciate there is no such thing as 'thermal mass' - all mass is thermal, hello? Good luck and thanks for the video. Remember heat goes from 'hot' to 'cold' and that the earth has a certain heat capacity and that concrete has a certain conductivity when it comes to heat. Simply put on your thinking caps and do a few simple arithmetic things like: add, subtract, multiply, and divide and you will never have a utility bill again . . . good luck Oh and remember what insulation is for . . . stops heat from going where it would otherwise. Good luck. Make it go where the heat capacity is if you want to store it during the day and then provide a way for it to get back into the rooms it came out during the day. You can see that at night those very rooms get cold if it is cold outside and insulation is not completely insulating or air change for health is occurring (maybe think of plants here) . . . It is all about conductivity to 'tune' your system or use some other way to make the heat go where you want it. Heat doesn't 'exist' anyway so why not have some fun; get warmth from it while it visits, and not have a utility bill to boot!

So can I put my Christmas lights on without slipping? Yes or no? I don't want to end up like hay uncle who falls off the roof. Other than that this is awesome

can it survive a hail storm?

As always, concise and to the Point. Good Work.

I like your way of not overeacting about new stuff like the press often does!

Could you maby do a video about vertical farming too?

Yeah, not here in Florida or most of the US, thanks to the moronic sheeple here.

I actually think normal solar panels aren't all that ugly but the solar tiles still look better.

What they said is OK but my first question raised is if lightning strikes on the roof what will happen

Is Musk getting husky?

So what do I have to major in to do stuff like this???

I just watched you video on the Powerwall 1. You hit it right on the head when you said it will only get better. The problem with batteriey and EV is the production of batteries. Only Tesla is building factrories to build on a large scale. The CEO of Mercedes refused to invest in battery manufacturing last year. He will be the last CEO of Mercedes. We should invest now in more Gigafactories. Have you done a video on the Gigafactory?

so they are demostrating this in a home that 99.9% of people couldn't afford thus planting the idea that this is a toy for the rich.... brilliant

when this technology will be coming to my india yaar

I see some marketing limitations with the solar roof idea. Home-owners probably want matching shingles everywhere if they are worried about looks, but only part of a house is likely to be well suited for solar. So the idea only makes sense for new houses or houses being reroofed for other reasons.

I frequently visit Germany there is a building and its whole wall is made of solar...not only the roof...

Just like the iPhone. There have been smartphones before but the iPhone got it right and really appealed to people.

I hope this takes off

Okay yeah bro that's a cool idea but what happens when birds poop on em?

I always thought that traditional solar roof panels looked cool and futuristic.

2 things. maintenance and durability. storms and stuff

The biggest problem is Solar City likes to charge for the savings they offer. Not very honest.

great video .. again you present a topic nice and clear.. thanks from the uk

It's crazy times we live in, so many things people have always dreamed about are suddenly now techincally possible.

This is great and all, but don't kid yourself into thinking that governments will allow all houses to be self-sustaining. They want everyone paying them and the large power-companies.

He put on some weight

In the 80's we invented a solar shingle that hooked to the underlying conductor when nailed in place.

They didn't take off because for those in the 1st world (maybe excepting Germany which has destroyed it electrical generation) solar is not a viable REPLACEMENT for current base load generation methods.

It STILL is not a viable (cost effective) REPLACEMENT if you are on the grid (in the USA at least). The math doesn't add up at all.

still in BOX mentality..getting really tired of making this complex and expensive when energy can be instant and SUPER practical....

We need to urge our federal government to amend our current FIT scheme.

It looked like the Solar-City tile was still damaged and most likely would need to be replaced- for aesthetic reasons at the very least. I've looked into solar; I currently pay $0.09 net per KWH and it isn't feasible yet in my zone 5 area (means lots of sun). However we do have a few large solar farms close by. One was taken almost completely out by the softball sized hail we had this time last year. Their panels were finally replaced last month. The crushing sound of 4" hail sledge-hammering into my roof is not a distant memory when I consider installing solar panels up there. The upside to the SC tiles is that they could be replaced individually if damaged. BTW, nearly all my neighbors have new roofs now as a result of one storm. It does happen.

Finally, a company is changing the world

The historically lack of electric cars is not about the right product, but the oil lobby...

ahahahha elon huckster ahahaha,,,,,next decade..
elon will be bankrupt in a decade n 6 companies...
taking 100 billion home to momma while you and i pay 100s of billions in more taxes on his schemes ahaha

the model s is 400,000 units and 3 years behind ahahah..
spaceX is ONE disaster away from bankruptcy ahahah

if you take money out of the utilitiy company pockets the city or state revenue will decrease. neither one of these entities is having that, get ready for a battle and red tape .

how has he gotten around the limited charge cycles inherent in Lithium-ion technology? I think Lithium Polymer batteries are only good for about 300 charges and that's if you treat them well. is he using some new form of this technology that gets around this problem? I know this from flying drones and also working with other lithium-ion powered devices period for your product to have any longevity you have to plan for replacing the batteries if they are lithium ion on a regular basis. so their power density is extremely good compared to other batteries, the cost of Maintenance and battery replacement needs to be considered

what about solpad?

Elon Musk and Kevin Durand look so alike.

Hey cold fusion, just wondering if you have got one of these solar systems because I do. I also live in Australia

never heard of the EV-1?

4:42 .... wtf :O

tesla , spacex , and boston dynamics should form one company IMAGINE THAT

and undergo surficewith in nano scale to leave it clear in any time and dont have to wash it that would be neat

YouTube is filling up with infomercials.

I personally favor using Liquid Hydrogen technology and turning human feces into energy & even crude oil for it to then be made into plastics, I mean nobody is doing anything useful with the millions of pounds of crap we produce that's a renewable source of energy right there, you can even turn the steam produced from processing the feces into oil for clean drinking water.

Tip, but more of a compliment: I like your background music @ColdFusion!

This video was hilarious so much uninformed shit talk.

is he called indigogo

Im sorry but this video does not even attempt to tackle cost. What does this cost compared to a tradition reroof and how many years does it take for the energy saving to pay off? How are you going to get builders and developers to to go in on this? Covering your house in tempered glass with imbedded solar cells sounds like it would be very expensive.

Solar roof tiles have been around since 2005!! Nothing new apart from the sales pitch!!

FAKE NEWS

teslas solar shingles are great but how much will this cost (including the battery)and how long will they last

Tesla might as well put some solar panels on car roof to increase range

Given that one of the problems of power generation is evening out the load between generation and usage having local powerwall storage would be useful whatever method you used to generate the energy.

GM got the electric car _"right"_ before Tesla did. The ev1 was perhaps better because you didn't need to be a bajillionair to afford one. and that was 20 years ago.

Never spend more than necessary on a young technology, because better and cheaper equipment is always just around the corner.

unfortunately you lose a ton of efficiency when you don't have solar cells placed at the right angle for your latitude

Nice moobs, Elon!

Here in Quebec we have Hydro dams
