Tesla unveiled version three of the Tesla Solar Roof in October of 2019 .

It's reduced the overall cost of installing a Tesla solar roof by about 40% .

But since that announcement, there hasn't been much said about it.

Matt Farrell talks to a roofing company that's doing a full scale installation.

Tesla 's Solar Roof costs $ 56,000 compared to a shingle roof at $ 42,000 or a solar array and a metal roof $ 70,000 .

Bensol: Even without the added solar, the solar roof is already fairly competitive with higher end roofing materials.

The modularity of the tiles makes it easier if you break one tiles, all you have to do is break one piece.

The solar roof may prove to be cheaper to maintain and repair than other roofing materials.

The modularity benefit doesn't stop there.

Affordability and price competitiveness is the only way forward for solar tiles to catch on and go truly mainstream.
