Tesla's South Buffalo factory, originally built for solar panel manufacturing, has installed Chinese-made solar panels on its own roof, according to recently disclosed state documents. . Tesla announced that it started to produce its own new solar panel at Gigafactory New York in Buffalo. The first deliveries are expected in Q1 2026. The pioneering electric car maker has continued to sell rooftop solar through its energy division since the SolarCity acquisition. But the Solar Roof product — essentially. . After years of relative quiet, Tesla's factory in Buffalo, New York, has been repurposed back to its original purpose: to make solar panels. Instead, Elon Musk's company is using a competitor's product. . Since its 2016 acquisition of SolarCity, Tesla has been innovating within the solar industry to bring homeowners a variety of products that enable them to be less dependent on the grid. But just because these products are branded under the Tesla name does not mean that Tesla manufactures them.
