“The degree to which SolarGlass will positively effect the esthetics & energy sustainability of neighborhoods throughout the world is not yet well appreciated,” Musk tweeted. “This is a very important product.”

Musk also tweeted out a picture of a home with Solarglass and a link to the company’s website where interested parties can buy the roof.

Solarglass costs an estimated $33,950 for a 2,000-square-foot roof, according to the company’s website. That’s less than buying a premium roof with solar panels, which costs an estimated $43,790, according to the company.
