It seems that every day the world of solar cell technology is changing. As time goes on, solar energy becomes more and more advanced and more and more people are using solar energy in their lives. We all know about solar PV panels for rooftops, but solar roof tiles are still a relatively new technology.
How do they work?
Solar roof tiles operate on the same principal as your standard solar panels. They harness energy from the sun and convert that energy into live electricity. Solar roof tiles can be installed on houses during the construction process on new builds, but also on existing roofs.
Appearance and durability
One of the main benefits of solar roof tiles is the fact they are discreet and can blend nicely with the existing structure of the rooftop. They are designed to appear like standard roof tiles and often go unnoticed. The roof installation process is similar to that of standard roof tiles but the solar roof tiles must always be bordered by normal roofing tiles. Solar roof tiles, like solar panels, are extremely durable and can withhold extreme weather conditions. They are weatherproof and will not be penetrated by water, wind or dust particles.
Maintenance
Much like solar panels, solar roof tiles require little maintenance and can also be installed along with an energy storage system to store the electricity generated for night time use. Also like solar panels, they have no moving parts. Read more about solar panel maintenance here.
Efficiency
Until 2008, thin-film solar cells (the cells used for solar roof tiles) were barely peaking above 10% conversion efficiency, while the traditional solar cells were maintain at a steady level at 20 percent and higher. But in that same year, the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Lab had a breakthrough with a copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) thin-film solar cell that reached 19.9% conversion efficiency. As further developments and research continue, the solar roof tile has the potential to become as efficient as solar PV panels.
