Tesla launches solar panels, created in conjunction with Panasonic
The company Elon musk presented the new solar panels, released by Panasonic. Module manufacturing capacity of 325 watts starts in the factory, Gigafactory 2 this summer, then solar panels for the roof will be available to buyers.
In the section "Energy" on the official website Tesla has the first images of solar panels, designed and produced with the participation of Panasonic. Unlike solar shingles, which is preparing to enter the market, solar modules do not imitate the texture of the roof. While the panels do not have exposed edges, and the mounting hardware hidden so that modules are almost not stand out against the roof. The design was developed by Zep Solar, which is owned by the company SolarCity. Recall that in November last year, Tesla SolarCity acquired for $2 billion.
Technical characteristics of the Tesla is not published. However, the power of one solar battery is 325 watts, and the life of the development is above average. The same Panasonic panels of the same capacity have efficiencies of 21.76%, and the guarantee of energy performance is 25 years.
Solar panel Tesla will be integrated with energy storage systems Powerwall. Unlike solar shingles, which the company has already started taking orders, the modules can be installed on an existing roof to replace the roof is not necessary.
To produce panels, the company Elon musk will start in the summer on the factory 2 Gigafactory in Buffalo, new York. Exclusive for Tesla to produce solar modules, the plant will specialists the Panasonic. After the start of production panels will be available. Now on the website, you can request the cost of the modules.
The head of Tesla Elon Musk has repeatedly stressed that his company deals not only with automotive, but energy. After the merger with SolarCity, the company changed its name from Tesla Motors to Tesla. Musk plans to create an energy ecosystem of products that includes electric vehicles, charging stations, solar panels and energy storage system. Tesla builds Autonomous microsphere, offers solutions to energy crisis and going in the summer to produce solar roofing to consumers. published
