Title: Your house need a new roof???
Post by: BallAquatics on August 10, 2016, 08:22:47 AM
By creating a product that actually replaces roofing material, SolarCity?s power generation offering becomes not an add-on, but a core housing component, with a much easier sell opportunity both for new construction and whenever a home owner needs to re-roof.

I wonder if you combined that with a zero interest loan for installation, to be paid back over time by sending excess power back into the grid? I think they did something like that in Germany, and if you look in google earth there are a lot of solar panels there. It would create jobs too.

This Old House did something like that a couple of years ago on one of their projects.
