New player in the solar market

Tesla has started selling solar roof panels. Only a matter of time before someone adapts them to RV use.

Interesting- designed to be incorporated into high-end tile roofs. I can't see an RV application. But I never claimed to be visionary.

After hail damage for second time to roof, we were looking at other brands and these prototypes. In order tinier them we had to reinforce our existing roof because of weight issues. I can't remember actual weight but they were solid and heavy. Much more than asphalt shingles. I couldn't imagine the AS could handle these without increasing weight. I'll see if I can dig up the quotes etc. and see if I can find the weight let square feet.
