Sexy Solar Panel Roof Tiles

Published on October 4, 2009   | Print This Post Print This Post
 

When one thinks of solar panels, we imagine huge, black panels that stick out like a sore thumb.

SRS Energy has come up with an ingenious invention to combat this issue. The Solé Power Tiles™ are dark blue, and the contours match the undulations of typical clay roof tiles. The Solé Power Tile™ brings the luxurious style and classic durability of clay roofing into the modern era of sustainable energy.

In partnering with tile makers US Tile, the Solé Power Tile is guaranteed to fit perfectly in an aesthetically pleasing manner. Flexible solar technology by United Solar Ovonic is embedded within each tile, allowing them to function independently of each other.

Whilst only available on the West Coast of the United States at the moment, a nationwide roll-out is planned for early 2010.

An interesting side note, the director of engineering at SRS Energy is J.D. Albert, the developer of the electronic ink technology used in Amazon’s Kindle and Sony’s Reader.
Go green by going blue!

    Nice to see some new aesthetically pleasing tiles are finally coming out. Although this is a bit too "villa style" for us. Here in the UK there is virtually nothing to choose from style wise on the solar tile front.

    Not even a basic "slate" style solar tile is available, only the huge wide ones that look like mini solar panels. Perfect situation for innovation in an open market - come on guys lets see worldwide suppliers and some alternative designs too.
  • You are the latest victim of the blatant and massive marketing fraud perpetrated by SRS Energy. All the details, including the fake pictures and the patently false performance claims are exposed here:

  • Thanks for making us all aware of this. Your blog article certainly provides some very powerful evidence contradicting their claims.

    How fantastic do these look and the need to have the horrid panels used for solar - a thing of the past! Well done to SRS Energy.
