DOW POWERHOUSE Solar Shingles

The first photovoltaic system that blends almost seamlessly into a home's exterior, Dow's ½-inch-thick shingles are not conventional roofing but copper indium gallium diselenide solar cells covered with tempered glass. Unlike other solar panels, DOW POWERHOUSE PVs are nailed directly to the roof deck. Wiring leads inside to the system's inverter, and a Web-based monitoring system allows you to check the roof's power production remotely.
