The head of the company, Ilon Mask, has already drawn the attention of investors and potential buyers to the fact that the new tile produced by Tesla is a high-tech development with many innovations, but did not disclose the details. Now, thanks to the publication of the patent application, everything has become much clearer.
The patent was filed by the company Solar City last spring, approximately then Ilon Mask began to talk about its merger with Tesla. Apparently, having familiarized himself with the idea, he decided to combine the efforts of the two manufacturers. Now, when the rights to the patent belong to Tesla, and the roofs have already begun to be mounted on the houses of some employees, it became possible to familiarize themselves with the construction of the tiles.
Separate solar roof elements are attached to each other "ladder" using a special conductive adhesive that reacts to heat. This allows not only to quickly fasten one to the other without the use of wires, but also to replace the failed modules. In addition, the simplicity of the design significantly reduces the cost of production and installation. However, it is not known whether the mounting method is used now, because more than a year has passed since the moment of filing the patent, which means that the engineers of both companies could make a number of changes to the design.
