The Future of Solar Roofing Looks Bright!

Solar shingles have a similar appearance to traditional roofing materials, allowing them to blend in with the overall design of a home. Solar shingles are currently more expensive than conventional panels, but this may change as technology advances.

Fremont, CA: Solar roofing is now more affordable than it has ever been. Since 2014, the average cost of solar cells has nearly halved, making them a more affordable choice for a wider range of people. As the popularity of solar roofing grows, new technological trends emerge.

Solar Shingles

The growth of solar shingles is perhaps the most common growing trend in solar roofing. Building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) technology is a type of infrastructure that acts both as a structural well as a solar-gathering purpose. Instead of external panels, these shingles allow the roof to harness solar energy.

Solar shingles have a similar appearance to traditional roofing materials, allowing them to blend in with the overall design of a home. Solar shingles are currently more expensive than conventional panels, but this may change as technology advances. Solar shingle adoption will likely rise as prices drop due to new technology, just as solar power adoption did.

Solar Skins

Solar skins transform solar panels into mini billboards that can display custom patterns or images.
