Look! Lumeta Solar Roofing Tiles

2007_11_16 lumeta-solar.jpg

Roof tiles with integrated solar cells. Rather than have to cover your roof with black solar panels, you can maintain the look of a regular roof with the benefits of solar energy using Lumeta solar tiles.

There are disadvantes with this design however. Typical solar panels can be adjusted to account for the angle of the sun which can't be dones with these fixed, flat tiles, but the ease of installation and look of these definitely make up for that.
