Tesla has been trying to make their energy products front and center of their offerings. The company recently improved their panels, while reducing their cost, without even making a big deal of it.

In 2017, Elon Musk announced the revolutionary Tesla Roof system. Customers flocked to place $1,000 deposits.

Okay Elon Musk, prepare yourself, because the geniuses (plural) at Ford Global Technologies, LLC. are taking inflatables to a whole new level. They have recently patented a large inflatable solar-cell arrangement, which drops down from a stowage state to a tensioned state, thereby allowing for more solar real-estate. In their patent application, it appears as […] More
