Tesla Solar Roof and Traditional Solar Panels: Factors to Review
Tesla stopped taking new Solar Roof orders in August 2026, so for most homes the choice is now panels on a sound roof, or a new roof first and then panels. The factors below still decide which one fits.

How Far Battery Storage Goes
Two numbers decide what a battery can do: energy (kWh) is how long it can run things, and power (kW) is how much it can run at once. Add units and choose a backup type to see how the picture changes.
- Energy stored
- 13.5 kWh
- Continuous power
- 11.5 kW
About 37% of an average Florida home's daily use
Arithmetic on averages, not a sizing estimate: the average Florida home used 1,104 kWh a month in 2024, about 36 kWh a day. Summer days with the AC running can use far more. Your home's use will differ.
You choose the essential loads, such as lights and outlets, and leave out heavier loads like air conditioning so the battery lasts longer.
120 V everyday loads
- Lights (backed up)
- Outlets and plugs (backed up)
- Refrigerator (backed up)
- Wi-Fi router (backed up)
- TV (backed up)
- Microwave (backed up)
240 V heavy loads
- Air conditioning (left out)
- Pool pump (left out)
- Electric water heater (left out)
- Electric range (left out)
- Electric dryer (left out)
- EV charging (left out)
Loads shown are examples from the manufacturer's backup guide. Which circuits are backed up is set by the system design and written project documents. Not every appliance or circuit may be backed up.
