			<![CDATA[Anyone have any experience with this? <br /><br />Considering roofing options to replace 70 year old concrete tiles. <br /><br />Solar makes perfect sense at this point and so does a standing seam roof.<br /><br />This could be a good all in one system?]]>

			<![CDATA[They are thin-film technology which, by the manufacturer's own admission is less efficient than the equivalent standard crystalline PV panels. So depends what other drivers (e.g. appearance, lifespan etc.) are important. <br /><br />From the website: <br /><br />"The CIGS laminated solar modules will produce approximately 135W/m2 which is lower than monocrystalline panels, but the low light performance and higher possible roof coverage means the expected output can be the same" <br /><br />Others on here will be better versed in the figures, but I think you can get premium panels that offer 200+ W/m² now and you'd have the flexibility to swap them out (rather than the bonded panel Solarseam).<br /><br />Seems like it's geared to areas where visual restrictions (e.g. conservation area) can justify the presumably increased costs.]]>
