Cat on a Hot Solar Roof!


If a remake of the 1958 blockbuster starring Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman were to be filmed today, it would have to reflect our current environmentally conscious times. Goodbye tin roof and hello solar tiles!

Solar roofing is one of the most practical and fiscally responsible ways you can go green in today's world. Don't make the mistake of thinking your choices are limited and less than aesthetically pleasing. Technologies have improved and kept appearances in mind. After all, your home's external appearance is a reflection of the pride you take in it.

Some solar roofing options currently available are streamlined, interlocking tiles that fit the exact shape of your roof rather than sit on top of your roof like traditional solar panels. Because the tiles are integrated directly into the roof of your home, they blend seamlessly with the architecture and style of your home, creating a beautiful, well-blended look.

Solar roofing can also now be extended to your patio with solar patio coverings. Who says that solar systems have to be bulky and take up a lot of space? Compact, efficient and effective solar coverings are available for small spaces such as a patio or roofed garden.

Utilizing photovoltaic technology, solar roofing will convert sunlight into energy at the atomic level. A simple turnkey system will interconnect you to the grid and spin your meter backwards to produce your own solar power.

Whatever excess energy is produced from your system can be bought by your local utility company and channeled back into the community through the process of net metering

Stop paying for electricity when the sun is sitting in the sky waiting to give it to you for free, and your local utility company is waiting to pay YOU for the energy you produce!
