Integrated Solar Roofing Makes Sense
Whether you're building a new home or putting a new roof on your existing house, it makes more and more sense these days to look into solar roofing. It's easier than ever to install, and with today's technology, you can save quite a bit on your energy bill, even in climates that aren't known for lots of sunny days every year.
Today's integrated solar roofing options can work right alongside your typical shingles. The modules are easy to install and can seamlessly interlock with standard wood or asphalt shingles. One module is the size equivalent of five standard concrete tiles.
Solar roofing modules are designed to absorb energy even under low-light conditions. Also, they are resistant to impact, moisture, and strong winds.
Examples include the 62-watt solar roof modules from Sharp Electronics. They cost $8 per installed watt.
