Dow Solar 'Powerhouse' Solar Roofing Shingles to be Available Next Year
Dow Chemicals will be releasing their thin-film "Powerhouse" solar roofing shingles next year, and claim they will convert 13% of the sunlight into renewable electricity, a significant improvement over the current solar shingles that only have a conversion rate of 11%. The sleek design of the shingles also will have aesthetic appeal over the clunky-looking options currently available on the market.
The Dow technology uses a new solar panel strategy referred to as CIGS, described as PC cells that use a blend of copper, gallium, indium and selenium instead of the current industry standard, silicon. This efficient design will generate 3.5 kilowatts of power for every 250 shingles installed. Though not enough to power most homes, the panels should pay for themselves in energy savings within a decade, according to Dow's preliminary estimates.
At present, a the new system is expected to be double the price of even a standard asphalt roof, so smart consumers may want to wait until the prices come down after the initial roll out. The projected cost for installing a 'Powerhouse' solar roof is $10,000 for 250 shingles which can cover 1,000 square feet.

I believe that is one of the such a lot important information for me. And i am glad reading your article. However want to observation on few basic issues, The website taste is perfect, the articles is really great : D. Excellent process, cheers
Solar roof shingles are currently hot cake. This roof shingles are made by photovoltaic cell. This cell converts solar energy to electric energy. So it is both save our money as well as our environment. This new design is awesome. Hope it will be hot and trendy in the market.
j'aimerais en savoir plus le coût si c'est subventionné si c'est durable ou ont peut s'en procuré etc.... j'ai la toîture de ma maison a refaire l'ans prochain
