solar shingles
Power-generating roof tiles
Solar shingles are roofing materials that generate electricity from sunlight while functioning as conventional roof covering.
Unlike traditional solar panels mounted on top of existing shingles, solar shingles replace them entirely, integrating power generation into the roof's structure: The new construction used solar shingles instead of panels.
Also called solar roof tiles.
