Tesla has discontinued Solar Roof, its solar panels designed to look like regular roofing tiles, Electrek<\/em><\/a> reports. Sources \u201cclose to the program\u201d told the publication that Tesla has informed its third-party installer network that Solar Roof is no longer available to order, and that only conventional solar panels will be supplied going forward.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While Tesla hasn\u2019t officially announced that it\u2019s sunsetting the product, it\u2019s made several website changes that corroborate the reported discontinuation. The dedicated Solar Roof page (tesla.com\/solarroof<\/a>) that launched almost a decade ago now automatically redirects to Tesla\u2019s solar panel<\/em> page instead, and the \u201cSolar Roof\u201d option is no longer available under the navigation menu for Tesla Energy products. The only products currently listed are Solar Panels, Powerwall, and Megapack.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Tesla first revealed the Solar Roof project<\/a> back in 2016, but only achieved mass production<\/a> in March 2020. It was never a successful venture for Tesla \u2014 CEO Elon Musk admitted in 2021 that the company made \u201csignificant mistakes<\/a>\u201d with Solar Roof that caused over-expenditure and delays, and a Wood Mackenzie report<\/a> from 2023 estimated that the solar shingles had only been installed on 3,000 US homes since launch \u2014 far fewer than Tesla\u2019s target of 1,000 installations per week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Electrek<\/em> reports that Tesla has now concluded that Solar Roof is not financially viable for the company. It is, however, seeing greater success with its regular solar panels, and is currently planning to build a new $10 billion factory<\/a> near Houston, Texas, to ramp up production.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
