Architectural shingles are heavier as they use more material but they last longer and are less susceptible to weather damage.
According to the tesla solar roof calculator tool typical long island roofs are recommending 70 solar tiles and 30 non solar tiles.
While asphalt roof shingles are cheap coming in at just 80 100 per square.
For an existing roof solar panels will likely cost less though could take 10 20 years to break even depending upon the cost of local electricity.

If the bolt landed right on the roof.
A solar roof from tesla is certainly going to cost you with prices as around 58 000 for a new roof.
The solar roof is expensive and probably only makes sense if a new roof is being installed and even then it s likely going to take 20 years to achieve break even.
They drive dirt and caliche roads and pick up rocks in tire tread then drive back on asphalt and bombard us with flying rocks especially after rain.
