IBID.

I need help finding sources of flexible solar power panels that (a) are shingle replacements, or (b) fit in the channels of **residential** ribbed metal roofs. I am specifically NOT looking for the old-fashioned boxed panels. These need to be 'architecturally' and aesthetically attractive. A kind FReeper pointed me to a source once before but I lost that thread. Any and all links are appreciated.

Just think of all the square footage and installation labor currently present in/on American roofs? Sittin' there keeping the rain out and the sun out, could generate a lot of kW in a 20-25 yr lifespan.

Heck just 1/2 of a roof in the sunnier areas in the US could safe a lot of $$$ and oil, and natural gas. Just wish someone somewhere could somehow make the items here and cheap.......
