Tesla files patent for solar roof tiles

Tesla has been working on solar roof tiles since the company acquired SolarCity in 2016, but finally filed a patent application for the technology May 3, according to Fortune.

Tesla's tiles are made from louvered glass. The panels look like traditional roof shingles but collect more solar energy than traditional solar panels.

The tiles have been on the market for over a year, though this is the first time customers have been able to see how the technology works.
