Ideally,the courtship of aphrodite. essays on hispanic literature and eroticism Tesla would like you to have a completely new roof that doubles as one big solar panel.

But if for some reason you can't or won't go that route, the company now offers an alternative: Traditional solar panels that are mounted on your existing roof.

Of course, it wouldn't be a Tesla product if it weren't a little different from the competition. In this case, the panels have a "sleek, low-profile design" with "no visible mounting hardware."

If you recall Elon Musk's presentation of the company's solar roof in Oct. 2016, the Tesla CEO put great emphasis on looks, claiming that unsightly solar panels are a big reason why some homeowners don't want to go solar.

Other than that, there are very few details about the panels on Tesla's website, except that they offer seamless integration with the company's home battery, Powerwall.

However, Electrekhas learned a few tidbits about the new product. The panels, made exclusively by Panasonic, will go into production at Tesla's Gigafactory 2 this summer. The 325W moduls, Tesla says on its website, "exceed industry standards for durability and lifespan."

A few weeks ago, Musk announced that the company's solar roof tiles will become available for pre-order in April, though there's still no exact date on that.

There's also no word on the availability of the new solar panels, but you can request a custom quote from Tesla now.
