As resources become scarcer, the need for alternative energy sources has become a necessity. One of the most popular options is solar. Progressive homeowners concerned about the environment – and perhaps escalating energy costs – are installing solar roof shingles.
What are Solar Roof Shingles?
Solar roof shingles are a thin film of photovoltaic cells constructed to look like regular roof shingles. They are dark-blue, dark-purple and/or black in color. For pitched roofs, solar panels come as individual tiles or small shingles. For flat roofs, solar roof shingles are constructed as large, continuous sheets.
