Can Dow Solar Shingle leapfrog rooftop expense and aesthetics challenges

November 17, 2009

Interesting to see how Dow Chemical embracing in the smart way the solar rooftop market using  CIGS solar cells technology to please the eye of architects.

Solar Shingle should be about 30-40% cheaper than other BIPV systems and save installation cost.No  specialized skills or knowledge of solar array installations are required.

Jane Palmieri from Dow Chemical said it would cost 10 to 15 percent less on a per watt basis.( that was the main challenge all manufacturers had in the past…including myself! if it is really the case it is a killer app in 2011)

..TIME magazine just named this solar shingle one of the 50 best invention of the year ..a story to follow in 2010…if of course more greener recycling plastic is used….
