Solar roofing no longer requires trading beauty for energy efficiency. Companies like SRS energy in partnership with US Tile, have designed solar roofing tiles that mimic the shapes of their clay counterparts--creating solar roofing that can be integrated artistically and seamlessly with conventional tiling to effect a beautiful, energy producing roof.

Another company that is innovating in integrating solar seamlessly is Custom-Bilt Metals, with the development of a two-in-one, solar building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) roofing product in which traditional standing seam metal roofing is integrated with thin film solar technology manufactured by UNI-SOLAR for Custom-Bilt Metals.

Now builders can go solar right from the get go, instead of installing solar panels as an aftermarket add on. Harnessing solar power as an integral part of the architecture of both business and community is the goal of these groundbreaking entrepreneurs.
