Elon Musk of Tesla Motors was at Universal Studios to demonstrate a new concept of solar paneling: Solar panels that look good. From the article in the LA Times:
“Musk, the chief executive of Tesla Motors and chairman of SolarCity, showcased a line of high-design solar roof tiles that would replace clunky solar panels and tie into an upgraded version of the Tesla wall-mounted battery for those times when the sun doesn’t shine. The glass solar shingles resemble French slate, Tuscan barrel tile or more conventional roofing materials with a textured or smooth surface. “
