Solar Shingles



Home > Learning Center > Solar Shingles Solar Shingles Solar shingles are a recent development in solar power technology. They take advantage of thin cell photovoltaic technology. To the naked eye they look like regular shingles, but they actually contain thin photovoltaic cells which absorb the sun's energy. Retailers claim that solar shingles are more efficient than other solar rooftop materials. They also claim that they can withstand heavy winds and or as strong as regular roofing materials. Consumers are usually wary of any new product that comes to market, so it may take some time for rooftop solar shingles to be widely used. Manufacturers hope that solar shingles will make more homeowners switch to solar power. Solar shingles have an aesthetic advantage over normal rooftop panels. Solar shingles blend in well with other rooftop materials and from a distance are undetectable to the naked eye.
