Tesla ends Solar Roof, leaving installers with six-figure losses

📍 Electrek

Tesla stopped supplying its Solar Roof tiles in August 2026, informing its certified installer network it will only ship conventional solar panels going forward. Over seven years, about 3,000 Solar Roof systems were installed in the U.S., far below the promised 1,000 weekly installations. Contractors invested hundreds of thousands in training, tooling, and crews for a product that took over two weeks to install versus two days for conventional systems. They now face significant losses and concerns about warranty and long-term support for installed systems.

🔎 Why it matters: The final version of Solar Roof was discontinued in August 2026, impacting certified installers who invested in training and equipment.
📈 Upside: Not applicable.
📉 Risk: Installers face uncertainty about warranty and spare parts availability for existing Solar Roof systems.
