Photovoltaic Shingles

Solar power shingles are a dark purple/blue colour, measure around 12 inches, and therefore look similar to other roofs in most situations.

It is this look that pleases most people as they are not obviously solar collectors to a passer by.

Although more expensive to install than normal PV panels, the extra money is usually deemed to be well spent for the aesthetic benefits.

Also, they offset the cost of traditional shingles for that section of the roof.

They work like any normal solar energy system would. They absorb sunlight and transform it into energy.

They are manufactured by only a few companies worldwide including OK Solar Photovoltaic Shingles - great selection of shingles. One of the biggest solar companies in the world. They have offices and warehouses all over the world and will deliver worldwide.
