Solar Panel Tiles Roof
Isn’t this a feasible power option?
I have an idea that would save a ton of energy:
Roof tiles made of solar power panels. Just have to make them durable enough.
Link them all together and to your power box. Any extra you sell to the grid.
Imagine. Every new construction house with a roof made of solar panels!
Get with it, people!!!!
Yep, that is a good idea. Right now, though, it is hard to find solar panels to put on your house that are affordable. Most of the ones made are custom jobs and very expensive. There are a few manufacturers in the US. I heard a report on NPR a while ago about a company that is working on a new manufacturing process for cheaper solar panels but they don’t even market them here because there is not enough interest. They sell them in Germany and Japan.
I was in the CN tower in Toronto and they had a neat display. There are solar panels on the roof of that and they showed the electric meter for the observation deck. When I was looking at it, there were clouds overhead and the meter was churning forward. Then, the clouds moved and as it got brighter outside, the meter slowed and slowed and then started moving backwards and the solar panels started producing more electricity than was being used by the observation deck.
