Gaming does draw noticeably but I don't play much anymore. Computer is a monster but I've enabled all C states and the like so if I'm just browsing the internet or doing work it eats up a tiny amount of power. Fridge is A+ efficiency or something and quite small so power draw is minimal. Cooking I mainly do in a small convection oven. Lights are 9w LEDs but even then I only turn on one to give me all the light I need. My geyser (boiler?) has been basically off since I got here and I just take cold showers. Tesla calculator bumps up the solar tile % recommendation only if my power usage is greater than the power produced. Tesla calculator is using 12cents/kWh for my area. That comes out to 5.3 watts per sq ft.Īnyone see a flaw in my calculations? Am I missing something? So, I assume I'm getting a 10k watt system (1880 sq ft of solar tiles). $6 / 12 cents per kWh = 50kWh per day.Īnother online calculator says that I would need a 10k watt system for 50kWh per day power use in my area, Boulder, CO. So if I take $180 / 30 days, that's $6 a day. If my electricity is exactly $180/month (12cents/kWh is my local cost of electricity), the calculator suggests that I should dedicate 70% of my roof to solar tiles. I slowly bumped up the cost of electricity per month until the calculator increased the solar tile utilization to 70% (which is the max solar tiles you can get on a Tesla roof).Ī 4400 sq ft 2 story home is calculated to have a 2686 sq ft roof. I looked at the Tesla Solar Roof online calculator to figure out if I could reverse engineer the power output by analyzing the recommended coverage of solar tiles and the cost of electricity per month. There's no published data on how much power is generated per square foot of the Tesla Solar roof tiles.
