Tesla is trying to make solar sexy.
CEO Elon Musk unveiled its much-hyped solar roof products last Friday, and to give proper credit, they look great. Tesla will offer four types of shingles to match different housing aesthetics in an effort to get homeowners to ditch clunky solar panel add-ons in favor of a beautiful roof. (Although Musk will be quick to add traditional panel installation is still an option if you're not in the new roof market.)
Musk's roof unveiling, which also included the introduction of its new at-home battery option Powerwall 2.0, is part of Tesla's effort to show what will come if a merger with SolarCity is granted. Shareholders will vote on the merger, worth $2.6 billion, on November 17.
We took a closer look at Musk's solar roof that will incorporate use glass developed by Tesla's new glass division. Here's everything we know about the four solar roof options:
