Solar Tiles vs Traditional Panels

Aesthetics

Tiles win. Integrated look, no visible racking. Great for historic homes or strict HOAs.

Cost

Panels win. Solar tiles cost 2-3x more. Only makes sense if you need a new roof anyway.

Installation

Panels win. Traditional panels: days. Solar roof: weeks. Tile installation is complex.

When Solar Tiles Make Sense

New Roof Needed

If you're replacing your roof anyway, the incremental cost of solar tiles shrinks significantly.

Aesthetics Matter Most

Historic districts, visible roofs, or personal preference for seamless look over ROI.

Budget Isn't Primary

If maximizing solar ROI isn't your goal, the premium may be worth it for the look.
