But while the whole world is busy talking about how to implement cleaner energy, Tesla is actually making changes now. With their new Tesla Solar Roof, they just showed us the path to a sustainable future and what it should look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what do we know about this sustainable innovation so far?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-it-s-practical-and-aesthetic\">It\u2019s Practical and Aesthetic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tesla Solar Roof looks nothing like a&nbsp;typical solar product and that&#8217;s a good thing. Forgoing a fragile appearance, the cutting-edge roof comes in four assorted styles that each looks like a typical roof tile. In other words, you won&#8217;t compromise aesthetics when seriously pursuing an energy-efficient home. Regardless of whether you prefer Tuscan, slate, smooth or textured designs,&nbsp;Tesla has the roof you desire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is the Tesla Solar Roof durable? As it turns out, it is! The textured glass is said to be \u201cstrong as steel\u201d, and is expected to withstand constant exposure to the elements. Whether there&#8217;s snow, hail, sleet, or heat waves, rest assured that a Tesla solar roof can weather through all those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-works-in-conjunction-with-another-superb-sustainable-tech\">Works in Conjunction with Another Superb Sustainable Tech<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For the solar roof to be practical in its use, it needs to be installed alongside the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tesla.com\/powerwall\">Powerwall 2<\/a>&nbsp;battery. The battery stores the sun\u2019s energy to deliver reliable and clean electricity at times when the sun isn\u2019t out. What\u2019s even more impressive about the latest iteration is its improved power capacity despite costing very little to install.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sustainability-made-even-more-accessible\">Sustainability Made Even More Accessible<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Providing an accessible, sustainable future to everyone has long been CEO Elon Musk\u2019s goal. With the Tesla Solar Roof, he and the company will be taking a huge step in realizing that aim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Tesla\u2019s electric cars have given that vision traction, their solar roof could have a bigger green impact overall. By offering a product that\u2019s a ready source of renewable energy that lasts over half a day, Tesla may well be showing everyone the way forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-incredible-affordability\">Incredible Affordability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since exploding onto the market, Tesla, and its products, has been about affordability. They\u2019ve introduced electric cars that are easy, relatively, on our pockets. Now, they\u2019ll be putting out the Tesla Solar Roof at a ridiculously low price. At least, that\u2019s what the company says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During its introduction, Mr. Musk claims that the Tesla roof\u2019s price will be more affordable than a regular roof. But, of course, its price will come alongside the cost of utilities. It\u2019s merely a claim for now, though, and we\u2019re waiting to see if the price is as good as he claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re hyped at the thought of a solar roof that\u2019s pretty accessible to everyday consumers like us, you may have to wait. The technology will be made available to consumers by the end of 2017 according to Mr. Musk. Frankly, it\u2019s still a fairly short timeline considering the scale and long-term impact of this technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While waiting for the Tesla Solar Roof to arrive, you could check out other cool, eco-friendly inventions for the home.
