Are Solar Power Shingles An Alternative?
Do solar roof shingles offer a practical alternative to installing solar panels on the roof? Solar power shingles are made with flexible thin film solar cells, and they’re not only lighter than most solar pv panels, but they can generate similar solar electricity for homes. For someone who doesn’t want a heavy solar panel system installed on the roof and who doesn’t have the yard area for a ground mount system, solar power shingles are worth considering. And, if you’re handy with a hammer and a tape measure and can shingle a roof, then you might even be able to do some of the installation work yourself.
