solar roof
Photovoltaic house top
A solar roof is a roofing system with integrated photovoltaic cells that generate electricity from sunlight.
Unlike traditional solar panels mounted on top of existing shingles, solar roof tiles or shingles replace conventional roofing materials entirely: They're building a new house with a solar roof instead of adding panels later.
The term is sometimes used more loosely for any roof equipped with solar technology.
