Tesla, one of North America’s most innovative companies, has nearly singlehandedly led a push toward more renewable products in our daily lives, including cutting-edge electric cars that have become the gold standard for technology and reliability. One of the newest and most heralded inventions from Tesla is the company’s solar roof shingles, which have generated a great deal of excitement in the solar industry.
So what’s the latest on the Tesla’s Solar Roof in Ontario? If you are looking to get one, the process begins by adding yourself to a wait-list on Tesla’s website. Unfortunately, you’ll need to be patient, since Tesla has not yet announced a definitive timeline for when you might be able to get your new roof installed in Canada. The roll-out of the solar tiles has been gradual thus far, and has largely taken place in California. In February, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced via Twitter that the company was ramping up capacity by hiring more installers, and that they were “looking forward to international expansion later this year,” but he’s been quiet on the topic since then.
In Canada, the demand for renewable resources is growing rapidly. Most of the nation’s solar capacity is in Ontario, according to the government’s fact sheet on renewable energy. In public opinion polls, more than 80% of respondents said they wanted Ontario to generate more of its power from renewable resources.
