When you think of solar panels, you are likely to think of large unsightly glass panels that sit up on a roof of a neighbors house.

Things have changed considerably since the 1970’s

Installing clean, reliable, inflation-proof solar power is becoming easier and more affordable than ever.
Here is a video about thin-film photovoltaic (PV) laminates that can be bonded directly onto metal roofing panels.

Unlike crystalline PV material, there’s no need for obtrusive racks and heavy, expensive glass.
Instead, unbreakable thin-film PV is produced using amorphous silicon, encapsulated in Teflon and other polymers.

To learn more about designing solar energy systems you can buy a solar energy design manual.
