Tesla's Solar Roof Is Being Discontinued After 10 Years
The company has begun removing Solar Roof from its website as it exits the solar shingle market.
Tesla is discontinuing its Solar Roof product after roughly a decade in the market, according to reports from Not a Tesla App citing information about changes to the company's solar offerings.
What Happened
Tesla has begun removing Solar Roof from its website and appears to be winding down the product line that launched commercially around 2016. The move marks an exit from the integrated solar shingle market that Elon Musk once predicted would become a significant part of Tesla's energy business.
Why It Matters
For current Solar Roof owners, the discontinuation raises questions about ongoing service support, warranty coverage, and software updates for their systems. For prospective buyers, it eliminates one of the few integrated solar roof options available through a major automaker, narrowing choices in a market where traditional rooftop solar panels continue to dominate.
The Bottom Line
Tesla's Solar Roof chapter appears to be closing after about 10 years, leaving the company focused on its core vehicle business and utility-scale energy storage while exiting the residential solar integration space.
