And continuing the topic of Building Integrated Photovoltaic renewable energy is Jackery’s recent unveiling at CES 2025 of their revolutionary, first in the US market, curved solar roof tiles. These innovative solar roof tiles are practically indistinguishable from conventional terracotta roofing tiles! Also available in a black “obsidian” these solar roof tiles integrate with existing roof tiles and architecture and have a claimed cell conversion efficiency of over 25% as compared to typical solar panels 20% efficiency. They are also built to withstand extreme weather conditions, including hail, high wind and temperatures between -40 degrees F and 185 degrees F. In certain markets, particularly the sun-drenched south and west, this product is poised to become the answer to typical HOA restrictions on rooftop solar for aesthetic concerns… because it is not added to the roof, it IS the roof.
