Solar Shingles

This is one of the most exciting pieces of news I have read in some weeks:

http://solar.coolerplanet.com/News/19462404-new-solar-energy-technology-wins-accolades.aspx

Especially if, like my family, you are looking at the possibility of building a new home in the next few years – on top of all the passive building strategies you could use, directly incorporating active solar in the structure?  That’s a dream come true. 

Of course, the part that makes that most palatable is this line in the article:

“The Powerhouse design includes thin-film cells of copper indium gallium diselenide. Dow notes the cells’ low cost relative to other solar technologies.

And, on top of low cost, Dow’s new shingle has other advantages. The company reports that the installation process is no different than that of traditional shingles, making Powerhouse shingles attractive to contractors.”

With the cost factor becoming more affordable, and dodging the stigma (or stressing community covenants) how can you go wrong? 

Of course, if you can’t stand to wait to install a new roof with these shingles, you can use the information in this course to install an active solar system that YOU put together: http://e7d9eltjucxowsd4il039s9m5e.hop.clickbank.net/ (note: if you didn’t pick up on the ‘clickbank’ part of the link, this is an affiliate site and I am paid for each person who buys from a referral from this site). 

As always – keeping thinking sunny thoughts!
