Introduction: The Tesla Solar Roof Cost Calculator allows you to estimate the total cost of installing a Tesla Solar Roof based on your roof area, desired solar coverage percentage, and installation cost. Get a quick approximation of the expenses associated with transitioning to a solar-powered roof.
Formula: The total cost is calculated using the formula: Total Cost = (Roof Area * Solar Coverage / 100) * Installation Cost. This formula considers the roof area, the percentage of the roof covered by solar tiles, and the installation cost.
How to Use:
- Enter the total area of your roof in square feet.
- Specify the percentage of the roof you want to cover with solar tiles.
- Input the estimated installation cost.
- Click the “Calculate” button to see the estimated total cost.
- The result will be displayed below the button.
Example: For example, if your roof area is 2,000 square feet, you want 80% solar coverage, and the installation cost is $30,000, the total cost would be (2000 * 80 / 100) * 30000 = $48000.
