The american manufacturer of electric Tesla began a process of diversification into the sector of the alternative energies to the display, the Friday solar roofs for ecological houses.
“global warming represents a serious crisis and we must do something” to remedy the situation, said the director and founder of Tesla , the charismatic Elon Musk, during a press conference at Universal studios in Los Angeles.
Before, “the electric cars were not so beautiful, looked like golf carts”, he said, when Tesla account today with Hollywood stars and Silicon Valley among its customers.
“The same thing happens with the solar panels. We must ensure that they are as attractive as they are today electric cars”, he added.
The new product of Tesla was made in collaboration with the company of solar panels SolarCity.
the company’s goal is to capture 5% of the market of solar roofs, said Musk, who hopes that in the future all the houses are equipped with them.
In “Wisteria lane”, a bucolic and elegant street in which they filmed the famous series “Desperate housewives”, the visionary entrepreneur exhibited houses of different styles, underlining that all of them had sunroofs.
solar shingles “they have a different air, because they are different”, he underlined, and indicated that these ceilings will be present in homes of multiple styles.
“Our goal is to make solar roofs more beautiful than the roofs normal” and of unlimited duration, because “will be fabricated on quartz,” he said.
The installation of these roofs will begin “at a certain time next year” and its production will start “from here to eight or nine months,” he said, and noted that California will be “probably the starting point, because it is the largest market for solar”.
The businessman says confident on getting the solar roof to be financially competitive, if you take into account the cost of a roof and the electricity.
Elon Musk also presented a new Powerwall, a battery mural for housing, and stated that “the future will be made very largely of solar panels, more batteries.”
This announcement helps to reinforce the project of Tesla to acquire, in 2 thousand 700 million dollars, to SolarCity, also co-founded by Musk, an operation that has raised many questions on Wall Street.
