The bigger problem with this is that they are being made at 2009 electrical code specifications, and we're at 2017. Will they really be available anywhere outside of California?

The calculator will not go over 50%. So then what? Still pay for their tiles for the whole roof?

And what if 4 in the middle of my roof are bad? Or 10? or 4 this week and 10 next week? How many times do I have to have them out?

What about ALL the wires? Where do those all go? Each tile will have wires needing to connect to an inverter and the Powerwall? Electricians are already in high demand, how long will I have to wait for them to do this? Electricians are EXPENSIVE, do I have to pay for each hour they are repairing this system??

Powerwalls have a 10 year warranty. There is no cost for replacement included in their 30 year projections.

Is anyone believing this administration will continue the tax credit, on solar??

Solar shingles have been done. Every company has already discontinued them. CGI works in advertising, but doesn't work in reality.
