Solar tiles in the UK cost between £11,000 – £13,500 for the average 2-3 bedroom home while regular solar panels can cost between £6,600 - £8,100. The biggest appeal of solar roof tiles is their aesthetically pleasing design. They blend in with the design of your roof and, therefore, won't disrupt your house style.
If Tesla solar roof tiles become available, the company said they will cost $21.85 (£17.23) per square foot. That's equivalent to $235.12 (£185.37) per square metre.
