Tesla Solar Roofs... A New Opportunity?

[William Glass]

Hi BP,

Just a thought experiment and I'm curious if anyone has looked into investing in Tesla's solar roof tiles for LONG term buy and hold properties. I think solar is exciting and there are many benefits that I think alone warrant investing in Solar in some instances, but what I think makes Tesla's roof tiles a potentially viable strategy is the shingles themselves are guaranteed for life (assuming Tesla doesn't go out of business).... How valuable is never having to pay for a new roof again? Granted the cost of the Tesla roofs are steep and are at least 2X the cost of replacing a roof as is from what I've seen online. I'm curious to hear others perspectives and if anyone else has done this thought experiment also? 

If you have a larger commercial building or apartment complex where you have to pay for utilities it could be a viable option especially if Tesla has programs for commercial applications.
