If you live in Austin, you've probably seen solar panels cropping up around your neighborhood. Thousands of Texas residents have added solar panels to their homes. 2021 Enter Tesla's solar tiles, one of the best options on the market. Swapping out your traditional roof tiles with Tesla solar tiles can provide a range of benefits for your wallet, your house's curb appeal, and the environment.

Read ahead to learn 10 amazing benefits of installing Tesla solar roof tiles. 

1. Stylish Design

Aside from all of the functional and money-saving advantages solar tiles have to offer, one major benefit of switching to Tesla's solar panel system is design. Tesla solar tiles can improve your home's exterior appearance.

Tesla offers a unique tile design to suit your home's style with a smooth slate look. Because these tiles replace your entire roof, they mimic the design of a traditional roof better than traditional solar panels. Your neighbors and visitors may not even realize your home has gone solar because of how well these roof tiles blend into your exterior design.

Installing Tesla solar tiles is an easy way to improve your house's curb appeal, make your house look more expensive, and help your property adhere to contemporary design styles.

2. Environmental Impact

One of the biggest reasons Texas as a state is going solar is the environmental impact. Many homes utilize nonrenewable resources, such as coal or natural gas, for power. These energy sources release pollution into the air, take thousands of years to replenish, and can even create toxins for yourself, your family, and your neighbors.

Switching to a Tesla Solar Roof is an easy, effective way to lessen your environmental impact. Because solar panels utilize energy from the sun installing Tesla solar tiles means you can feel good about the impact your behavior has on the environment and know that your home aligns with Texas's green energy goals.

3. Perfect for Austin

While solar tiles can be successful in any state across the United States, living in Texas gives you a few additional benefits when it comes to installing Tesla tiles. 

First, living in Texas means your home experiences more sunny weather than many states across the U.S. On average, Austin, Texas gets 228 days of sun each year, outnumbering the 205-day average for the country as a whole. Because solar panels thrive on sunlight, Texas homeowners can feel confident that installing Tesla solar tiles will provide them with plentiful energy to power their homes. 

Additionally, Texas offers a statewide renewable energy tax exemption.  There is also a federal tax credit for additional savings to offset the cost of installation. Texas wants its residents to switch to solar energy systems.

4. High Return On Investment

While traditional roofs may be cheaper upfront, switching to Tesla solar tiles can provide a high return on investment, saving you more money in the long run. 

Tesla solar tiles work to produce energy for your home, research shows that switching to these systems will save you enough money on energy bills over a 10-year period to completely offset their initial cost.

5. Durability 

Tesla roof tiles offer incredible durability compared to other roofing material. These tiles utilize special technology to provide all-weather protection.  They stand up to impact very well with a class 3 impact rating and wind rating up to 166 MPH.

Switching to Tesla solar roof tiles is a smart way to invest in your home for decades to come. These roofing solutions are perfect for homeowners planning to stay in their houses for the rest of their lives or wanting to increase the values of their homes significantly.

6. Impressive Warranty

Because Tesla roof tiles are extremely durable, Tesla offers an impressive warranty to every new solar tile customer. This warranty includes several different pieces that save you money and allow you to feel confident in your tiles' ability to power your home. 

First, Tesla solar tiles come with a 25-year performance warranty. The tiles' manufacturers guarantee at least 80% nameplate power capacity for at least 25-years. If you believe your tiles' power is beginning to diminish during this time, you can submit a claim through Tesla to receive free repairs.

Next, your Tesla solar system will fall under a 25-year comprehensive warranty that includes free labor on the system's power wall, solar inverter, and roof mounting. If you notice any leaks or structural issues, you can contact Tesla to repair these problems at no additional cost.

7. Full Roof Replacement

One of the unique features of the Tesla solar system is that it replaces your entire roof rather than sitting on your roof like traditional solar panels. If your home is in need of a roof replacement and you are thinking of going solar, you can kill two birds with one stone by installing this complete roofing system. 

Unlike traditional solar panels that need to be re-installed with every roof replacement, you can rest assured that your Tesla solar roof tiles will stay put throughout your roof's entire lifespan. Even better, you won't have to worry about purchasing enough solar panels to cover your roof or calculating how many you need to power your whole home—because Tesla offers this all-in-one system, you can be sure that it will successfully power your home and stay secure for years to come.

8. Protection Against Rising Energy Costs

If you've owned or rented a home for more than a few years, you've probably noticed your energy costs rising over time. Unfortunately, the cost of electricity has increased about 3% each year since 1970, and when costs rise, you may feel like you have no choice but to pay them. 

In contrast, solar energy has a fixed, predictable price. You won't have to worry about being able to afford rising energy costs when you go solar—you can feel confident that your energy bill will look the same each month, even if nonrenewable resources are increasing in price. This fixed price is especially helpful for homeowners with a flexible cash flow who may not know if they can afford shifting prices.

9. Increase Your Home's Value

One of the simplest reasons to switch to Tesla solar tiles is that they increase your home's value. Imagine you're house-hunting and you see a listing that has new, technologically-advanced solar tiles in place of regular roof tiles. You'd probably expect this home to be on the pricier end of the spectrum, right? 

House hunters are willing to pay thousands of extra dollars for homes that include energy-efficient, modern technology, and Tesla solar tiles look great to most buyers. Even if you're planning to sell your home in a few years, switching to Tesla solar roof tiles can save you money in the meantime, then make you a sizeable profit when you decide to sell.

10. Improve your Reputation

This final benefit of switching to Tesla roof tiles may seem silly, but it's an important factor to consider. Switching to an innovative solar system will undoubtedly make you look good, as everyone who drives past your house will notice your commitment to sustainability and style. Even if your reputation isn't very important to you, you should still take note of the kind of impact that these revolutionary solar tiles can have on your public image. :)
