Tesla Solar Roof‘s product address redirects visitors to Tesla’s conventional solar-panel page as of November 1, 2026. However, that redirect does not explain why the company changed the destination or announce a date for ending tile sales.

For homeowners looking for Solar Roof information, the immediate change is the destination: the address now leads to Solar Panels. Tesla‘s separate ordering guide describes buying panels and Powerwall batteries. It does not set out a new ordering process for Solar Roof tiles.

What Tesla’s current ordering guide says

According to Tesla’s solar-panel ordering guide, customers enter their home address and average electricity bill to see system recommendations. They then select Solar Panels to continue. Tesla says only one electric bill is required when entering that average.

However, access depends on the address. Where Tesla does not serve an area directly, customers may be able to order panels through Tesla Certified Installers. For addresses outside its territory, Tesla says customers can reserve solar and Powerwall and receive notice when its energy products become available locally.

The guide also describes a deposit toward the order. Tesla says it remains refundable until the customer accepts the solar-system design. Although the final price includes installation costs, any required main electrical-panel upgrade costs extra.

What remains unspecified for Solar Roof

The redirect alone supplies no explanation for the change. Tesla’s panel-ordering instructions do not announce a Solar Roof sales cutoff, a market-by-market withdrawal schedule or a new tile price.

Similarly, those instructions do not announce what happens to existing Solar Roof orders, warranties, service or replacement-tile supplies. The panel guide’s deposit terms apply to the panel-ordering process it describes; they do not establish new terms for an existing Solar Roof contract.

For now, Tesla’s public Solar Roof address points prospective buyers toward panels. Tesla’s panel-ordering instructions do not settle the timing or reason for the redirect, or the status of individual tile-roof projects.
