Low-Profile Solar Panels

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

SRS Energy Sole Power Tile Blends in Seamlessly

— August 10, 2009 — Eco
These images above are of the SRS Energy Solé Power Tile in action--a creation that is poised to revolutionize consumer solar power generators as we know them.

Traditionally, solar power generators come in the form of giant panels that draw instant attention by the virtue of their bulk alone. The SRS Energy Solé Power Tile system, however, looks just like a darker version of the curved roof tiles that millions of homes already have.

Implications - This is a clever innovation because the Sole Power Tile integrates clay tile in order to maintain the aesthetics and physical depth of a roofline, while adding a strong current of inventive electricity generating technology. The company's partnership with US Tile makes this kind of upgrade simple by combining it with a standard roof purchase.
Trend Themes
1. Low-profile Solar Panels - Low-profile solar panels offer a sleek and seamless alternative to traditional bulky panels.
2. Aesthetic Integration of Solar Power - The integration of solar power into existing infrastructure, such as roof tiles, allows for a more visually appealing energy-generating solution.
3. Partnerships for Seamless Integration - Collaborations between solar panel manufacturers and the construction industry enable easy integration of low-profile solar panels with standard roof purchases.
Industry Implications
1. Renewable Energy - The renewable energy industry can seize opportunities to develop and market low-profile solar panels as an aesthetically pleasing and efficient alternative.
2. Construction - The construction industry can benefit from partnering with solar panel manufacturers to offer customers integrated low-profile solar panels as part of their standard roof installation packages.
3. Home Improvement - The home improvement industry can tap into the demand for low-profile solar panels by offering solutions that seamlessly blend with existing infrastructure and enhance both aesthetics and energy efficiency.
