Solar Roof Shingles vs. Asphalt Shingles And Solar Panels
05/03/2014 14:19Compared to the conventional asphalt shingles, this new solar system can deliver obvious advantages and benefits to those green-oriented families.Visual AppealThis new type of shingles resemble the traditional asphalt shingles in size and finish, but are covered with thin film solar cells that are responsible for converting sunlight into electricity. In fact, the solar shingle systems were exactly designed to substitute for the visually intrusive solar panel arrays.Higher AcceptanceIn some areas, the homeowner associations do not allow installation of solar panel arrays either on your roof or backyard. But, don"t you think that the solar shingles will be more acceptable to them, as your roof will not look much different from their own roofs?
More FlexibilityThere are two types of solar shingle systems available. The only difference is that the shingle systems use materials that are much smaller in size, but, with the newest solar technology, they are able to produce just the same amount of solar energy.Easy ReplacementThis new shingle system does not just look like the traditional asphalt shingles, it can also be replaced easily just as the asphalt shingles.
