Although installation costs are often much lower for solar inverter
shingles than with a standard rooftop solar array, you will still need common
solar system components such as an inverter (which will need to be installed by
an electrician) but, for the most part, roofing installers take care of the
biggest part of the system, which is attaching those solar panels on your roof.
When compared with rooftop solar installations, which cost approximately 30-40
cents per Kwh, solar roof shingle installation is a bargain at a cost of
approximately 20-25.
Other Advantages of Solar Roofing Shingles
In addition to lower costs and a more attractive design, solar power inverter
shingles are lightweight and, due to their sleeker appearance, tend to be more
acceptable in housing developments with strict zoning. Many companies offer
color schemes that meld more easily with an existing roof, possibly increasing
the value of your home more than would a standard PV installation. Warranties
for these products vary, but are usually between 20 and 25 years.
