Tesla 🚗 looks to take solar mainstream 😱 with Home Depot partnership

While Elon Musk is preparing for this week’s launch of the Falcon Heavy rocket, his other company is also preparing for a launch.

Tesla has made a deal with Home Depot to sell both the PowerWall and Tesla’s solar panels at 800 Home Depot locations.

Home Depot has some 2,200 stores across the country, but the 800-store roll out is still the largest retail presence Tesla has ever known for its energy products.

They will be put on display, quite literally – Bloomberg reports that the Tesla retail displays will be 12 feet tall and 7 feet wide, and that some locations will have visual demonstrations of the products.

Unlike most after-market solar panels, which don’t offer much by way of aesthetics, Tesla’s solar roof tiles come in four styles that closely resemble current roofing materials.
