But\u2026this got me wondering why I\u2019m still not seeing a lot of Tesla Solar Roofs around. I first hit on this issue in a video two years ago, and since then I\u2019ve only seen one Solar Roof in my old neighborhood in Massachusetts \u2026 compared to dozens and dozens of homes with solar panels. I\u2019ve also been asked a lot as to why I didn\u2019t get a Solar Roof on my brand new house.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I thought it might be interesting to compare my house to another house from here in New England that does have a Solar Roof. A friend of the channel, Paul Braren, invited me into his house to check out his setup. Both his system and my system were installed last year, so I thought it\u2019d be really interesting to compare the two, the reasons why we did what we did, the costs, and our initial thoughts. By the end, maybe we\u2019ll be able to figure out an answer to my question\u2026why aren\u2019t we seeing more solar roofs?<\/p>\n<p>Special thanks: <br \/>Paul &#038; Margaret Braren for inviting me into their home.
