Solar And Comp Shingles

Solar and Comp Shingles

An enthusiastic minority of homeowners have powered their homes with energy derived from renewable sources, and an excellent way of using renewable sources is with solar roof shingles.

These enthusiasts have recently been joined by a growing number of householders hoping to use microgeneration to reduce fuel bills and perhaps sell surplus energy to grid operators. If energy prices stay at their present level, microgeneration will create an Internet of energy that eventually impacts on incumbent energy providers. The power providers may have to diversify their business to make up for revenues lost through household energy microgeneration.

Solar photovoltaic technology is expensive, however, it is simple to install, and in hot climates it can generate surplus electricity and, in many countries, installation is supported by government grants.
