Solar Roof Shingles, PV Solar Made easy!

Monday, December 29th, 2008

The IEEE looked at solar roofing shingles way back in 1994 and in 2008 market forces and technology are very close to bringing the product to a roofer near you. Traditional roofing shingles and metal roofing are poised for powerful changes in energy generation.  This is the age of “the energy generation” as renewable technologies become wide spread and widely accepted.  We will always need mass production utility companies because there are many many situations where local production is never going to be an option.
Sorry if that is your situation, take advantage of other areas to reduce your demand.

Uni-Solar is one company that seems to be the market leader for PV Solar Roofing based on metal roofing.  Applications range from 80-160MPH wind ratings and include compensation for partial cell shading so you won’t have to cut down your trees.  We need trees!! Go plant a tree.

When you are building new or replacing a roof consider if you want to make the investment in solar shingles.  The point in solar is to start somewhere to get the basic electrical mechanical work done and you can easily expand to take advantage of future products coming on the market like solar windows..
