The solar shingles look amazingly like traditional roof shingles and
fully replace traditional shingles on the home while generating
electricity.
The shingles use thin-film solar cells, which are less efficient than
the silicon cells in conventional solar panels, but actually much more
durable. The first state where these shingles will be widely
available is Colorado, with large quantities coming to a dozen other
states by the end of 2012.
