Solar Shingle Roof Replacement

So what is solar shingle roofing?

Solar shingle roofing is an alternative to traditional solar panels that help you create free electricity for your home while carrying out the duties of traditional roofing. Like solar panels, solar roofing shingles are generally placed on a part of the roof that gets the most sunlight to convert it into electricity. Unlike solar panels which are mounted above your roof, solar shingle roofing is consisted of thin photovoltaic (PV) sheets that come in small sizes and are mounted on your roof in line with the rest of your shingles. This lets the solar shingles blend right in.

Despite being far more subtle, these solar shingles are about as effective as traditional solar panels. While traditional solar panels might be a bit more efficient overall, a solar shingle roof replacement is about 10%-15% more cost effective per watt of solar energy. Their lifespan is also slightly longer on average and they can be easily installed as part of a regular roof replacement.

If you are looking for a way to go green and save on your energy bills, then a solar shingle roof replacement might be the perfect solution!
