Solar ShinglesSolar shingles are gaining in popularity as photovoltaic technology increases in productivity and cost. What is a solar shingle?Solar shingles are photovoltaic cells, capturing sunlight and transforming it into energy. Most Solar Shingles are 12 inches wide (when stacked have 5 inches of exposed area) by 86 inches long and can be stapled directly to the roofing cloth. Different models of shingles that are produced have different mounting requirements. Some can be applied directly onto roofing felt intermixed with regular asphalt shingles while others may need special installation. Roof tiles provide optimal solar cell placement and eliminates shading from upper roof tiles. They also require less roof space and allows for optimal system placement (src: Wikipedia). Here is a link to a company that makes solar shingles http://www.sunpowercorp.com |
