Overview
- Tesla has stopped supplying its Solar Roof tiles to certified installers and the Solar Roof web page now redirects to the company’s regular solar panels offering.
- The company will continue to sell traditional rooftop solar panels and Powerwall home batteries and is pursuing large-scale panel manufacturing plans such as a proposed factory near Houston.
- An internal assessment and reporting say the Solar Roof proved financially unviable because its tiles were complex and labor‑intensive to make and install.
- Customers paid far more than Tesla’s early price targets, some reported post‑contract price increases, and the company settled a 2023 class‑action lawsuit over pricing for $6 million while total deployments remained small.
- Tesla has not publicly clarified how ending tile supply affects warranties or repairs for existing Solar Roof systems, leaving current owners uncertain about long‑term support.
