When I still owned Shooter's Station, we contracted to have the original red steel roof repainted to a reflective silver...The resulting reduction in electricity used surprised even me......Ben

Thinking further on the white roof issue: perhaps the answer to why more are not white is because the ones visible would become a stained eyesore over time. We value looks more than function in many cases.

A guy down the street painted his house red (reflective paint ) and has a green tin roof. A real eye sore but luckily I very rarely see it other than if i walk my dog down his street.

Musk finally released the price, which this article says is less than a traditional surface. If that is true, why would anyone go elsewhere? Sounds like the bargain of the century as presented.

I just sent that off to me "almost daughter" and her husband who just moved back here from Kansas and are in the beginning stages of restoring their circa 1800 farm house which has a slate roof in need of replacement.

If you can only get the job done by a Tesla crew, as stated in the article, I wonder how long it will take for them to gear up for the rush?
If it is all as presented and I were a younger man, I would be rushing to get a position selling and installing these roofs. Why would anyone install a new roof that is just a roof, if you could buy one cheaper that produces electricity and has an infinite warranty? I wonder if the weight requires special structural needs? There has to be a kicker here. My skeptical nature tells me this is too good to be true by leaps & bounds, but I hope it is true.
