Tesla's solar-powered roof is here

Tesla is officially taking orders for its solar glass roof, which are said to be cheaper than a regular roof with an "infinity warranty."

Elon Musk tweeted on Wednesday that the solar roof can be ordered in "almost any country." The roofs will be deployed this year in the U.S. and overseas in 2018.

The roofs will come in textured, smooth, Tuscan and slate.

The roofs are made with tempered glass and are more than three times stronger than standard roofing tiles, according to Tesla's website.
