Best roof assembly ever? Water, Vapor, Insulation, Solar -- SOLVED! Best of Build Show

Jordan Smith breaks down a high-performance roof assembly built around a Tesla solar shingle system, focusing on how structure, insulation, ventilation, and power generation work together. He explains the exposed structural roof deck, exterior insulation strategy, and the need for a secondary roof deck to meet Tesla’s installation requirements. The system layers a commercial-grade membrane, ventilated air space, and tempered glass solar shingles that function as both roofing and energy production. Integrated ventilation and drainage manage heat and moisture while supporting durability and energy efficiency. Batteries and controls tie the roof into a broader electrical system that balances on-site generation, storage, and grid interaction.
