Elon Musk ha revelado la última innovación de su empresa Tesla: un sistema de techo solar tan integrado en la arquitectura que no puede distinguirse de un techo tradicional.
En el acto de inauguración del viernes pasado, Musk invitó a mucha gente al antiguo set de "Desperate Housewives", modelo por excelencia de los suburbios estadounidenses. Después de una introducción sobre los efectos inminentes del cambio climático, revelólas razones de la elección de este espacio para el encuentro.
"Lo interesante es que las casas que pueden ver a sualrededor son casas solares", dijo Musk. "¿se dieron cuenta?"
Obviamente, nadie lo había notado. Musk había instalado prototipos de distintas versiones de sus nuevas tejas solares sobre los techos de las casas circundantes, con una estética casi idéntica a la de las tejas tradicionales.
Hechas de vidrio texturizado, las tejas cuentan con persianas microscópicas que permiten que la luz pase mientras esconden la célula fotovoltaica en su interior. Tesla afirma que las tejas de vidrio templado son "duras como el acero", con una "vida casi infinita", y que incluso se podrían agregar elementos calefactores para derretir la nieve en los climas más fríos.
El techo solar estará disponible en cuatro estilos arquitectónicos diferentes: toscano, pizarra, liso y texturizado, y se integrará en la batería solar Powerline 2 de Tesla, permitiendo a la mayoría de los hogares producir toda la energía que necesitarían para un día normal. Tesla también está en el proceso de refinar aún más la tecnología de las lumbreras que reflejarán la luz en la célula solar, aumentando potencialmente la eficiencia de las tejas.
Los precios del sistema aún no han sido liberados, pero Musk afirma que el techo solar podría costar menos que la instalación de un techo tradicional combinado con el costo de la electricidad de la red.

The proposed Tesla production facility in Mexico has run into hurdles regarding inadequate power production in its potential location, but a new massive solar project may help alleviate these concerns.
Tesla is attempting to establish a new production location in Mexico to help it rapidly grow vehicle production in the coming year(s). However, concern about the factory’s power needs overwhelming the local grid has proved to be a significant hurdle. But with a massive new solar power project currently under construction in Northern Mexico, the automaker’s energy concerns may be addressed.
The massive solar power project in Baja, California, Mexico, dubbed “Project Sanora” after the desert it is located within, could answer Tesla’s concerns. Initially reported by Reuters, the solar project is estimated to cost $1.6 billion and, when completed, will be the largest solar project ever established in Latin America. However, without funding wholly secured for the project, it remains unclear how much power it will be able to produce.
Currently, roughly 10% of the solar panels have been mounted, though none have been hooked to the grid. The project was displayed late last week to national leaders and potential investors. The Mexican president heralded the project as the country’s key to a renewable future.
With such a massive solar project, residents would benefit from reduced energy costs, and the surrounding grid could easily benefit from increased stability, which is exactly what Tesla is looking for.
As pointed out by the Reuters report, Mexico is often cited as one of the ideal locations for solar power implementation. The country’s northern section has massive tracts of unpopulated desert, consistent sunlight thanks to its proximity to the equator, and low amounts of cloud cover that could limit the effectiveness of solar panels. Nonetheless, the Mexican government has had trouble embracing the technology, especially as crime and security concerns persist around the U.S.-Mexico border.
Hopefully, through the continued growth of solar projects in Mexico, Tesla and other automakers can increase their presence in the country. Along with bringing jobs and investment to underdeveloped locations in the country, it could also result (at least in this case) in more EVs for North America and up-and-coming Latin American markets.

With version 3 of its solar roof tiles, now called Tesla Solarglass roof, Tesla has created a lot of interest in its new solar product. Here’s where Tesla plans to first install the new solar roof tiles.
In October, Tesla launched version 3 of its Solar Roof tiles, and it saw a significant price decrease through optimization and faster installation.
CEO Elon Musk guided for a fast ramp-up of production and installations for the new version of the solar roof, but Tesla needs to hire a lot of new installers.
We learned that Tesla has received strong interest for the solar roof nationally after the price decrease, but it will only be available in markets where Tesla has installation crews.
Last weekend, Tesla held several “Solarglass Energy Hiring Events,” including one in Los Angeles and one in the Bay Area:
We are hiring Solarglass roofers, installers, and licensed electricians of all levels throughout the San Francisco Bay area to join our Energy Field Operations team. As an integral member of the team, the ideal candidate will work cooperatively with other team members to successfully complete the installation of residential PV solar systems, battery storage, and EV wall connectors safely and on time. New hire training and continued education will be provided to set you up for success in growing your career at Tesla.
Tesla is specifically looking to train roofers for its Solarglass roof, but the employees will also install regular solar panels, battery storage (Powerwalls), and even Tesla’s Wall Connectors for electric vehicles.
Here are all the locations where Tesla is currently looking to hire “Solarglass roofers” based on its website:
While this is not encouraging for people on the East Coast, Tesla also held “Solarglass Energy Hiring Events” in Massachusetts and Maryland last weekend.
Tesla is also listing a job for a “Solarglass installation trainer” in Maryland.
