The Green Seamless Solution To Solar Panels Is Blue: Solé Power Tiles
by Myra Per-Lee
Solar panels are not very attractive additions to one's roof. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for energy savings and I have to admit to having two solar panels on my own tile roof, but they distract from its natural beauty. That's just a fact.
So I was just waiting for an invention like SRS Energy's new Solé Power Tiles that can be seamlessly integrated with a tile roof. Solé Power Tiles are a beautiful green solution, but they're blue.
SRS Energy teamed up with US Tile to integrate its polymer tiles into the size and shape of US Tile's clay tiles, so that the complete results would show a seamless interface. Believe it or not, a good part of the tiles on the roof above are real clay tiles, glazed blue, while only about 20 percent of the roof is Solé Power Tiles.
Here's how the set-up works...
It looks much better than the raised solar panel on the right.
But you have to want a blue tiled roof; Otherwise, the Solé Power Tiles look like this...
And then you've got some blue tiles sticking out like a sore thumb on a beautiful rustic red clay tile roof. Understand you also have to replace your entire roof to get Solé Power Tiles.
So, I'm waiting for the next invention: solar tile roofing that can be purchased after market and can, at least, blend with the roof I spent a fortune on already.

You are mistaken. You claim, referencing the first picture, that "a good part of the tiles on the roof above are real clay tiles, glazed blue, while only about 20 percent of the roof is Solé Power Tiles." In fact, no tile on that roof generates any electricity. That's right, not even one tile on that roof is a Sole Power tile. All the tiles on the roof are actually red clay tiles, but the picture has been digitally-altered (red substituted with blue in some image-editing software).
Here is how the actual roof looks like:
If you don't believe me, ask SRS Energy to give you the address of that building with the blue roof, and check for yourself.
You are simply the latest victim of the massive marketing scam perpetrated by SRS Energy, who have used fake pictures and false performance claims to lure unsuspecting reviewers using US taxpayer money.

About the first comment above, I have written Solé Power Tiles to write it's own comment about the verity of the blue roof on the article's first house photo.

Amazing ...
... the lengths a commercial organization like that will go to make a quick buck! I'd be interested to hear their comments on this.
I was really excited to read this article at first as it looked like a fantastic product.
