As the demand for greener energy solutions continues to grow, so does the acceptance of solar as a residential roof replacement option.
Still, one of the biggest factors that prevent many people from having their roofing service install solar for them is the look of the panels.
To some, they are extremely unattractive, partially due to the way they are so obvious on top of the existing roofing material.
There Are New Solar Roofing Options
If you are one of those home or building owners who like the idea of solar but find the panels unappealing, there is a brand new option that just made its way to the roofing market.
Designed for installation by residential roof companies everywhere, these high-performing, attractive solar shingles may be the perfect solution.
More Cost-Effective and Attractive
Recently unveiled at the CES consumer technology show, this new take on solar shingles was developed and produced by a leading roofing materials manufacturer to offer everything that solar panels do, but in a more attractive, cost-effective way.
These long solar strips are not just lightweight to be easily transported and installed by residential roofing services; they also do not require removing your existing roofing material like other types of solar shingles.
Instead, these “shingles” perform like mini solar panels, only without the bulk and are nailed directly on top of your asphalt shingles.
Easy and Quick Installation
Based on the design, and the way these solar shingles are so easily applied by a residential roof company using just a nail gun, the manufacturer claims they can be installed in half the time of rack-system solar panels and without the need to wait for solar technicians to come and do it.
Whether a contractor installs them on top of your existing roof or puts them on as part of a new residential roof replacement, these shingles go on fast, and best of all, they are much less obvious on the roof.
Now Is The Time to Consider Solar Roofing!
Most residential roofing services agree that solar roofing is a great, energy-conscious choice that is becoming more accessible as the technology continues to improve.
The newest offering in solar roofing looks great and costs less, too.
If you are considering solar for your roof but want to avoid ugly, expensive, and heavy panels, talk to a residential roof company about the latest in solar shingles for your roof.
The best of both worlds is finally available in the form of lightweight solar shingles that go on with your asphalt roof at a fraction of the cost and time involved in other solar methods.
