Jackery showed off solar tiles at CES 2025 that are indistinguishable from traditional ones

California-based Jackery is expanding its range of energy products for home and outdoor use with the launch of new solar roof tiles, a mid-sized solar generator and a high-power charger for vans, pickups and RVs. It presented the news at the recently concluded CES 2025 trade fair.

Jackery has been operating since 2012. In 2016, it launched the first outdoor portable generators and two years later developed its first portable solar panels for use in nature and on the road. However, the presentation at CES 2025 shows that Jackery is also targeting other market segments.

The most interesting of the new products presented are corrugated tiles for solar roofs. Jackery's XBC solar tiles could change the rules of the game in the field of renewable energy, combining high efficiency with architectural elegance. Several manufacturers, starting with Tesla, have already come up with flawless solar roofing solutions, but Jackery has developed an interesting innovation.

Thanks to a unique 150° curved design and ultra-thin crystalline silicon solar cells with a thickness of only 0.13 mm, the solar tiles achieve a conversion efficiency of more than 25%, generating up to 170 watts of electricity per square meter. The roofing can withstand hailstorms, strong winds and temperatures from -40 ℃ to 85 ℃, and the company provides a 30-year warranty on it.

XBC tiles are available in classic roof tile colors - obsidian black and terracotta red. They blend seamlessly with traditional roofing styles, making them an aesthetic solution for private homes, commercial buildings and architecturally demanding projects. Compatible with over 90% of mounting systems, the tiles are quick and easy to install, making it easy to integrate solar technology into any roof.

The affordability isn’t the worst either. Jackery says a solar roof will cost an average of $7,000 to $20,000, depending on the configuration, with an installation on a standard American home expected to cost between $5,000 and $7,000.

The Jackery Solar Roof is designed to work with the brand’s most powerful energy storage solutions, including the new Jackery 5000 Plus solar generator and the scalable HomePower Energy System (ES), which will be launched later this year. The HomePower ES, which was announced a few months ago, can produce up to 11.4 kW of power and is equipped with LFP batteries with a maximum storage capacity of up to 123.2 kWh. That's enough power and stored energy to power an average household for more than four days during a power outage.
