Overview

Tesla’s integrated home energy system replaces a conventional asphalt roof with Tesla Solar Roof — glass solar shingles that generate electricity and look like a premium architectural roof. Pair it with a Tesla Powerwall for whole-home battery backup, and the Tesla app gives you one screen for production, consumption, and storage.

All American Solar Solutions is a Tesla Certified Installer for Solar Roof, Powerwall, and Tesla Energy. We handle structural assessment, permitting, ComEd interconnection, and the full install — from removal of the existing roof through commissioning with Tesla.

Choose Your Tesla System

Three Tesla products, three ways to power your home. Pick the one that fits your roof, your budget, and your goals — or layer them.

Tesla Solar Roof

Best for: full re-roofs, new construction, premium aesthetics.

Glass solar shingles replace your existing roof. Reads as a premium dark-glass roof from the street — no rack-mounted panels, no visible array. 25-year tile and 25-year power warranties from Tesla.

Tesla Solar Panels

Best for: existing roofs in good shape, fastest path to going solar.

High-efficiency rack-mounted panels on your current roof. Typical install: 2–7 days. Lower upfront cost than Solar Roof. Pairs natively with Powerwall and the Tesla app.

Tesla Powerwall

Best for: ComEd outage resilience, time-of-use savings, retrofit on an existing system.

13.5 kWh whole-home battery. Keeps lights, HVAC, fridge, and outlets running through grid outages. Stack multiple units for larger homes. State and utility incentives may apply — itemized in your quote.

All three integrate through the Tesla app — one screen for production, consumption, storage, and grid status.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a Tesla Solar Roof last?

Tesla Solar Roof tiles carry a 25-year tile warranty and a 25-year power warranty. The non-solar glass tiles are rated for the lifetime of your roof. Most Solar Roof installations are designed to outlast the underlying structure.

What's the difference between Tesla Solar Roof and standard solar panels?

Tesla Solar Roof replaces your roof entirely — the photovoltaic tiles ARE the roof. Standard solar panels are mounted on top of an existing roof. Solar Roof has a cleaner aesthetic and integrated warranty, while standard panels are typically more affordable per kilowatt of capacity and can be added to a healthy existing roof.

How much backup power does a PowerWall provide?

Each Tesla Powerwall 3 stores 13.5 kWh of usable energy and can deliver 11.5 kW continuous output. For a typical Chicagoland home, one Powerwall covers essential loads (lights, refrigerator, internet, furnace fan) for up to 24 hours.

How long does solar installation take?

Standard solar panel installation usually completes in 2–5 days on the roof, plus permit and utility interconnection time (4–12 weeks total from contract). Tesla Solar Roof takes 5–14 days on-site due to full roof replacement. Powerwall-only installations finish in 1–2 days. We schedule weather-managed and keep your roof tarped daily during open phases.

What financing options are available?

We offer cash purchase, solar loans (no money down, fixed monthly payment over 10–25 years), and Tesla’s manufacturer financing for Solar Roof + Powerwall packages. Illinois homeowners also have access to the Illinois Shines program and various utility rebates. We walk you through the right structure based on your monthly cost goals, and grid contract preferences.

What warranty covers my system?

Tesla Solar Roof: 25 years tiles + 25 years power. Tesla Powerwall: 10 years warranty with 70% capacity retention. Standard solar panels: typically 25 years performance + 12 years product (manufacturer-dependent — SolarEdge, Enphase, Q Cells, REC). SolarEdge inverters: 12 years standard, 25 years extended. Plus our installation workmanship warranty specific terms detailed in your written estimate.

Which Chicagoland towns do you serve?

Throughout the North Shore, northwest suburbs, and west suburbs of Chicago — including Arlington Heights, Barrington, Buffalo Grove, Chicago, Deerfield, Glenview, Highland Park, Lake Forest, Lake Zurich, Lincolnshire, Mount Prospect, Northbrook, Wheaton, Wheeling, and 30+ more communities.
