    It’s a waste of money. Most of the tiles will be in shade. PV panels are better and easily replaced if damaged by weather.

      And roof installations for panels are expensive to put in and take out, and need to be taken out to replace roof shingles/tiles under them.

      This tech might end up being the best of both worlds for roof panels because they have the potential to remove the frame from the equation.
