• 2:44

  make sure to hit that subscribe button because it helps a ton.
• 2:56
  And also if you could go to iTunes or wherever you get your
• 3:02
  podcast from, just let me reveal that's about it.
• 3:06
  You know like I do this every single day and I do it because I
• 3:09
  am really interested in everything that you Lon.
• 3:11
  Ask does have a huge fan, and I want to spread the joy spread
• 3:16
  the amazing awesomeness of Ilan. So, here we go.
• 3:20
  This is what I'm going to be talking about today.
• 3:22
  Tesla's, solar roof, V3, okay? So if you're not familiar with
• 3:27
  Tesla, solar roof, Tesla doesn't just make cars, right?
• 3:32
  SolarCity was bought by Tesla. And now they make solar roofs
• 3:39
  and they're not traditional solar panels for your roof.
• 3:43
  They do have those, but their Flagship product are actual roof
• 3:50
  tiles. So, kind of like, shingles like
• 3:52
  roof shingles, but they're made out of solar glass, that's in
• 3:57
  the V3 version. In the Solar glass, it looks
• 4:02
  just like regular tiles on your roof.
• 4:06
  Like it looks just like shingles.
• 4:07
  Looks like an amazing attractive roof and now they came out with
• 4:12
  version 3 and they're going to be a little bit more cautious
• 4:16
  with version 3. The price is good.
• 4:21
  But they also say that if you want to price this thing, make
• 4:27
  sure to price it with a new roof because if you price it with an
• 4:34
  older roof, you may as well. Just go with the premium roof,
• 4:39
  solar panel. Right?
• 4:41
  So you can buy a new roof, you can get a new roof, a typical
• 4:45
  roof And you can get a solar panel, right?
• 4:50
  So with that, it's about forty three thousand dollars, forty
• 4:55
  four thousand dollars all together for premium roof and
• 4:58
  for a typical roof, it's about 35,000 dollars.
• 5:01
  And with these tiles, the solar roof tiles is about 34 35
• 5:08
  thousand dollars with all the incentives, right?
• 5:12
  So all the incentives are basically government ended
• 5:19
  usually. And what they what they do is
• 5:22
  they deduct all of those costs after you purchase these solar
• 5:28
  panels. So there's a huge list of
• 5:31
  incentives on Tesla's website. There's a federal tax credit of
• 5:36
  eight thousand five hundred and fifty dollars.
• 5:40
  If you install prior to December 31st of 2019.
• 5:44
  So that's really quick. You know, you have to get your
• 5:50
  tiles installed in the next couple months in order for this
• 5:54
  to take place and that's somewhat you know, it's almost
• 5:56
  ten thousand dollars. So you'd be saving on your roof.
• 5:59
  And it says federal income tax credits are available to anyone
• 6:02
  who purchases solar panels for rigidus residential systems
• 6:06
  installed, prior to December 31st. 2019 customers are Able
• 6:10
  for a federal tax credit equal to 30% of the cost of the
• 6:14
  system. Now, that being said, if you
• 6:18
  want to do this, and if you want to have a new roof installed,
• 6:24
  that's one thing, you can have your roof installed, but then
• 6:27
  you have to put the solar roof on, right?
• 6:30
  That's a that's a different whole different thing.
• 6:33
  You can have a regular roof and solar panels or you can have the
• 6:38
  solar roof. Now, solar roof.
• 6:43
  I'm going through their website right now and doing some
• 6:45
  recommended estimated roof size, 2,000 square feet, Recommended
• 6:51
  is solar roof. Estimated energy production is
• 6:55
  10 kilowatts. That's 40 kilowatts per day.
• 6:59
  And average US House, consumes, 30, kilowatts per day charging,
• 7:04
  an electric vehicle increases energy consumption by 10
• 7:07
  kilowatts per day. So they recommended solar size
• 7:13
  sufficient to meet 40 kwh per day.
• 7:16
  Kilowatt hours per day and solar roof.
• 7:19
  Cannot be retrofitted with additional solar efteling after
• 7:22
  installation. And hence we recommend to plan
• 7:24
  for your future energy needs. so, if you plan on buying a
• 7:30
  Tesla car, the future, And you're just kind of like, you
• 7:35
  know, I don't know, I don't know when I'm going to get it, but I
• 7:39
  know that I am going to get it plan ahead for that plan ahead
• 7:42
  for any sort of upgrade to your home.
• 7:45
  You know, if you're going to need more energy in the future,
• 7:47
  if you know you're going to upgrade your home in the future
• 7:49
  with more electrical appliances things that are just going to
• 7:54
  suck energy away plan ahead and make sure you get the right
• 7:58
  thing for your roof because these things are expensive.
• 8:02
  Thirty five to fifty thousand dollars is no joke.
• 8:07
  I mean, you can't just plop that down and not think about it.
• 8:11
  So and you can also get a power wall to, so that's another
• 8:14
  thing. With the solar ruse, you get a
• 8:17
  solar roof. Stir the batter at, you store,
• 8:20
  the energy in the battery power wall.
• 8:22
  It's a home battery that provides backup power.
• 8:25
  And case of an outage, so single, single powerwall stores
• 8:31
  13.5 kilowatt hours of energy, they can run an average home for
• 8:35
  about eight hours. So, if all else fails say, if,
• 8:40
  you know, the grid goes down, your power goes completely out,
• 8:44
  you still have your power wall. The average home couple TVs, you
• 8:50
  know, like a microwave stove, a fridge, things like that.
• 8:55
  It'll run it for about 8 hours. You don't want to Max it out
• 9:00
  though. You want to make sure that you
• 9:02
  know, you turn off everything. That's not necessary.
• 9:04
  Turn off your lights in the other room.
• 9:08
  Turn off your air conditioner if you can, you know, open up some
• 9:11
  windows Etc. And then you get about 8 hours
• 9:14
  worth of power out of this thing.
• 9:16
  And that's, you know, paired with your solar roof.
• 9:19
  So basically, you can get off the grid, you have your solar
• 9:22
  roof, have a couple batteries. The batteries will charge from
• 9:26
  the solar roof, as it's giving energy to the rest of the home
• 9:29
  as well. So your batteries, you can have
• 9:32
  a couple power wall, so you don't just need one, you can
• 9:35
  have a couple and you can have, you know, 24 hours worth of
• 9:39
  extra power, just in case, something really bad happens.
• 9:43
  And it says here, when paired with the right amount of solar,
• 9:47
  multiple power walls, can run your home. 24/7 on clean energy,
• 9:51
  giving you peace of mind during longer-term grid outages and
• 9:55
  this is a big deal because right now in California, there's huge
• 9:58
  outages and people are Being left in the dark, so to speak.
• 10:03
  So if they had this system in place, they wouldn't have to
• 10:06
  worry about this. You know, they don't have their
• 10:08
  battery backups and you know, if you think about what this could
• 10:14
  mean to the safety of your family, and your loved ones, 40
• 10:19
  between forty and fifty thousand, Really isn't that big
• 10:22
  of a price if you have the money.
• 10:25
  So think about it. It's pretty cool version 3 is it
• 10:29
  looks really great. I would say go to Tesla.com
• 10:33
  solar roof and check out what it looks like because it's pretty
• 10:39
  freaking cool. I'm just saying if I had the
• 10:42
  money, I would definitely buy a solar roof from Tesla.
• 10:45
  And also buy a Tesla vehicle, probably a model 3 They're
• 10:48
  beautiful as well. So my friends I want to say
