Solar Roof Tile Benefits

Are you wondering about installing solar power to your building but you absolutely hate the look and bulkiness of photo-voltaic panels otherwise known as Solar Panels, than solar roof shingles might be just what your looking for.

Solar panel roof tiles are tiles that function in he same way as solar panels.

Meaning they utilize the same technology as solar panels to create energy by using the suns natural photons to create DC which is then turned into  into AC utilize within your building. 

The Solar roof tiles come in several different colors, shapes, and dimensions, and are designed to look just like traditional roof shingles, making them easy to blend in. Because of this they are a much more subtle and aesthetically pleasing package, plus they offer the same benefits of the heavier photo-voltaic panels such as immensely lowererd energy bills, and non negative affects on the environment.

Win, win right?

When solar panel roof tiles first came out on the market they were quite expensive and traditional solar panel’s were ultimately a better choice economically.

However the creation of new technologies like thin film (CIGS) and methods of manufacturing have lowered the cost of solar shingles considerably, while making them more efficient at producing energy.

Installation time has also been greatly reduced by this new technology as well. Add to that the fact that you do not need to hire a solar installation crew to install the solar panel roof tiles, as the solar panel roof shingles are similarly attached to the roof as traditional roof shingles.

solar shingles are very durable and are able to withstand large amounts of pressure from harsh weather and climates.

Another benefit of installing solar shingles is the fact that you are able to sell excess energy to your energy company, increasing your savings even more.

So as you can see there are many benefits to installing photo-voltaic roof tiles to your house, especially if you are already planning on re-shingling your roof.
