![]() ![]() Just build one of the new tiles and you get more solar generation, fewer points of failure, and easier, faster, and cheaper manufacturing. No more connecting the three panels with internal wiring or physical connectors. No more wiring up MC connector ends to each of the three tiles. Granted, they are larger, but they are also just a more efficient design on a number of levels.įinally, getting rid of the seams between the panels makes it easier for Tesla to produce the panels at its Gigafactory 2 in Buffalo. We’ll have to wait and see what each of the new v3 tiles produces, but it’s clear the output is much higher. That means a more sealed roof and more PV generation from each of the new tiles. Eliminating the need to create the bricks of 3 manually connected photovoltaic tiles gets rid of the seams between each of the individual tiles. ![]() That translates to less potential points of failure and a much simpler, faster, cheaper installation.īut that’s not all folks. The increase in size not only reduces the number of roof tile units that must be installed, it eliminates a large percentage of the internal non value add components in each of the PV Modules in version 2 of the Solar Roof. That not only effectively replaces a single pre-wired PV Module from version 2 of the Solar Roof, it increases the width of the panels significantly. The new tiles are significantly larger, at 45″ long by 15″ wide. Each PV Module required hardware to link the three individual tiles together, wiring to connect them and waterproofing to ensure a good seal.Ī Solar Roof version 2 tile. These were shipped from the factory in bricks of three pre-wired tiles called PV Modules. Tesla previously used roof tiles that were approximately 14″ long by 9″ wide. These changes came about first and foremost thanks to the larger footprint of the new tiles themselves.
