The  tiles, made from glass, are intended to be a more attractive way to add  solar panels to homes, compared with currently-used solar technology. The  launch took place in Universal Studios, Los Angeles, on what used to be  the set for the television show Desperate Housewives. It comes with Tesla due to take over struggling energy firm Solar City. Some  of the electric carmaker's investors have expressed concern over the  takeover, suggesting it is a Tesla-funded bail-out of a company Mr Musk  has a vested interest in as its biggest shareholder. Solar City’s chief executive is Mr Musk’s cousin. <img src="http://ichef-1.bbci.co.uk/news/624/cpsprodpb/CD9A/production/_92143625_mediaitem92143624.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The product was showcased on houses which once served as the set for Desperate Housewives Bringing the solar tiles to the Desperate Housewives set was a way of  displaying the idea’s key selling point: it looks far better than solar  panelling. Mr Musk jokingly described it as a “sweet roof!”. No  price was given for the tiles, which come in a variety of colours and  styles, though Mr Musk did say it would be cheaper than fitting a  traditional roof and then adding solar on top. Also part of the  launch was Powerwall 2, Tesla’s home battery product. The primary  function of the Powerwall is to store any surplus energy from the solar  panels. It will cost $5,500 (£4,511), Mr Musk said. Tesla posted a surprise profit in its last quarterly earnings - its first in three years. The  $2.6bn acquisition of Solar City seems set to see the company plunge  back into the red, but Mr Musk insisted on Friday that the deal made  sense as having separate companies would “slow things down”.Tesla shareholders vote on the acquisition on 17th November.<img src="http://ichef-1.bbci.co.uk/news/624/cpsprodpb/185A/production/_92143260_whatsubject.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />What a house fitted with Tesla's solar roof tiles may look like</blockquote>
