![]() ![]() If that's important to you, Tesla has an advantage here. To my eye, Tesla's installations are indeed less obtrusive than others. Tesla promotes its panels' sleek, low-profile design. (That jump in size is the capacity of one solar panel, which often come in a 400 watt size). ![]() Tesla used to offer only four sizes of solar arrays, but now offers quotes on systems as small as 4.8 and as large as 17.6 kilowatts, increasing in 0.4 kW increments. I'll stick with Tesla's panels here, and review the Solar Roof separately. I'll give you the essential information about Tesla's solar panels and let you know how it stacks up to the competition. It's difficult to compare solar providers, since each rooftop installation is different and will perform differently based on the orientation of your roof, nearby tree cover, local weather from one day to the next and more. Note also that reports in December 2021 showed the US Security and Exchange Commission was investigating a whistleblower claim that Tesla misled customers and regulators when fixing fire hazards in its solar panel systems, though no new developments have been reported since. While we weren't able to test a Tesla solar installation or the customer's experience, if you value customer service you're likely to have a better experience with a different provider. Tesla is a good option for someone who wants the most solar for the least amount of money, even if it means some challenges elsewhere. ![]()
