Recently BobVila.com has received a steady stream of requests for information on Solar Photovoltaic Shingles that can be put in line with standard roofing materials. In fact Home Again, working with PATH (Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing), actually featured this technology in a project back in 2000. In Show #1005 Bob visited Global Solar in Tucson, Arizona. Follow this link to learn more about Bob's visit to their solar facility. You can then watch the installing solar shingles and factory tour. The shingles were distributed by United Solar Systems in Troy, MI. They have lots of information on solar shingles on their site. The cells were manufactured by Global Solar in Arizona. Visit their site for additional information on how photovoltaic film is produced.
