SOLAR TILE SHINGLES

An exciting development from Elon Musk is solar shingles (tiles) for roofing.*  I have felt for many years that eventually, solar roofing would become a common roofing material but I didn't dream of solar tiles.  At this stage, it is very expensive to have your house reroofed with solar tiles (One man who did so paid $100,000! He did need to reroof his house anyway, and it has lowered his energy bills by about 90% in the summer.).

I don't know to what extent Elon Musk's recent psychological problems will have to do with this.
