Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
They will not sell to my city location…
I'm intetested
We have a business selling solar in USA, who can we contact for this if we want to sell they're product to our clients?
Sounds like Mike Rowe
As long as it's not a lie, its everything Musk promised & he's not involved! I love it!
Vans, this tech for vans.
what's the cost per panel (not installed)?
Looks GREAT, hopefully, they can get the cost down. DIY Cost?
Video ends abruptly. Make sure to add outros to give people time to like and subscribe when they realize the video is wrapping up. Great video. I want to get these 😅
No mention of how much electricity these shingles will produce just how they are easy to install. What happens when the roof needs to be replaced do they just get scrapped like the rest of the shingles? There is no mention of how much money you can save on your electric bills or how long it takes to recover your costs. Are there any case studies that show actual results?
I like the idea but I prefer to have my own battery bank and not be tied to the grid….
I haven't read all the comments, so I don't know if anyone has brought up the question of which nd. What would happen when a hurricane comes through with 100+ mph winds? I've seen asphalt, slate, and clay shingles tipped up and blown/broken off in such conditions. I didn't see any kind of fastening on the downhill side of these panels; how susceptible are they to this effect?
I like this system but think the rack system that allows airflow under the panels help keep the building and the panels cooler. The panels provide a shade for the roof and will decrease the inside temperature. Same affect as setting under a shade in the direct sunlight.
Solar tech is advancing inch by inch. I hope to see some real world numbers on these in the future because they look promising.
Ground mount is the way to go if you've got the space
I'm sure everyone buying these knows that after the panels get replaced they are shipped to poor African villages to be taken apart and these poor peoples drinking water is poisoned.
Solar panel are a scam and not an answer to global warmer or planet saving nothing solar panel DO NOT BREAK DOWN ….EVER so they can't be 100% recycled and leave toxic breakdown worse then nuclear waste
Solar is still inefficient trash that has som3 30-50 years of improvements to be made before it becomes the average individual’s primary means of energy consumption.
I like where they're going with this technology. Looking forward to future designs with integrated seamless connectors.
Id rather have panels on rails it will stay more cooler with airflow and be more efficent
Can't believe they didn't show a finished roof with this product. If the roof is filled with things like at 7:45 then it could be really ugly and a lot of the argument for this approach seemed to be that it's just like regular roofing. We really don't know that without seeing the finished product though.
I was recently informed by a GAF solar shingle installer that I must have my entire roof shingled when this product is used or else GAF could not offer a warranty.
This was a problem for me because only 6 months ago I had one side of my house re-roofed (Owens-Corning) due to leaks, but now that I am ready for solar I would be required to re-roof that side again – only this time with GAF – before I could get a warranty with the GAF solar shingles. It's all-or-nothing with GAF.
This is a good step. Keep up the research.
