Solar Roof Slate

Recently I have been working on solar roof system. It's BIPV that contains solar cells embedded on synthetic ceramic slate tile. Both on-the-grid and off-grid are accepted, some additional accessories are required. Frankly, I'm deeply impressed by this kind of solar roof architecture. It's kind of upgrade from roof with solar panels. If you are interested, visit my website for more info, www.anroof.com

Have you ever seen this solar product

Coke Cola plastic bottles, which have been produced and recycled everyday, are given a new mission in solar energy industry. The cheap, solar-powered bulbs are actually just clear Coke Cola plastic bottles filled with a mixture of purified water and chlorine or bleach which is commonly used in household cleaning products. Each bottle is then inserted halfway into a hole made on the roof of a house. The bulb gives off light equivalent to a 55-watt electric lamp as the water inside the bottle refracts sunlight and other exterior light. Read more on Solar bottle bulbs light up Philippines suburb . It's a roof project, actually, by a student in Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Jesus, what a darn good idea!
