Anyone have any experience with solar?

Oh, and if you haven't been discouraged yet, I read an article last week about Tesla's new Solar venture....SHINGLES that capture solar power. They will be rolling them out soon. Why buy the old tech, when they have already announced and shown their next generation devices?

Yeah, they're uber expensive. The comparison I read about was $61K for a roof with 40% solar shingles, $17K for real slate, and $5K for asphalt. You will likely never make that cost difference back. I'll see if I can find the article.

Not the same article, but was updated on May 10th with estimates. For my home, it would cost about $72,700. I'm not sure I'd live long enough to ever make it out of the red on the extra expense.

How much will a Tesla Solar Roof cost on my home?
