Roof - integrated Solar Flat Roof from IB Roofs

Building-integrated solar flat roofs are cool, green and have the lowest cost/watt to install, and virtually no maintenance cost. IB makes Lifetime residential flat roofing and now they together with Uni-solar have the only real BI-PV solar flat roof system for your home or business.
Find out more at http://www.CoolFlatRoof.com

Benefits of thin-film solar and Roof integrated IB Solar-Wise PV systems include better than average light capture in cloudy conditions, minimum roof penetrations, no shading from adjacent panels, and combined 30% federal tax credit for both the Solar and the roofing system. Your roof integrated solar array will be the most cost effective installation for any flat roof.

Solar Roofing Prices:

1) these and similar solar panels (such as UniSolar thin film solar panels) are installed over a PVC flat roof - use our roofing calculator ( http://www.coolflatroof.com/roofing-calculator.php ) to estimate the cost to install a new PVC flat roofing system, as well as roofing cost for other flat roof materials.

2) Solar Prices - the cost of your solar system will be very different depending on who you work with - in general, you should look @ about $7.50 per Watt, for a solar system of at least 3 KW size - use this solar calculator ( http://www.solar-calculator.org/ ) to estimate your solar system prices, as well as monthly payment if you finance your solar system - eg, get a home equity loan or a small mortgage.

I think the solar paint (when its released ) will be a better option.

@shikira

Only it will delaminate when home owners start paining their homes with it, and short circuit left and right.

And not it won't be available to the general public in form of paint. Companies that develop the products, will want to make money on it, so they will control who and for how much can buy it.

And since you compare solar paint to these roof-integrated solar panels - paint would once again not work here, due to foot traffic, door contamination, etc.

However good your product is you need to fire the person who made the video. We're not learning anything about cost/kw/hr and payback periods. That's the only metric that matters.

@Pangolinx1  - I will go ahead and fire him :)

and here's a really dumb thing about solar power / inverters. Every appliance in our homes has a power supply that typically takes 120VAC and drops it to between 5-24VDC for just about every appliance. We take the already DC voltage from the Solar PV Panels, invert it back up to 120VAC only to drop it back down to between 5-24VDC. Talk about a waste....

[iLOVENATURE2011]

oh...if what he's been promoting in the video is true, then this solar panel is worth a try! =)

@Shal3000 The extra voltage is to get the power through the wires and system. It would all get dissipated if it was run at low voltage.

[neobudda1]

how much

[9753flyer]

@Shal3000

A: Invertors now are extremely efficient - loss as literally nil

B: Those who are serious about solar install DC appliances. Most appliance are actually DC anyways and simply use a built in inverter. All major appliances are available in DC form for little if any cost difference.

Nice video project man.

[minami935]

Great product and great idea.
