Also, with all the engineers on here, please help design and make a solar panel roof tile that will protect your house as it generates electricity. We can call it a smart roof. I envision it even panelling solar cars in the future. Small practical panels that interlock without hardwired connections, possible flexible and extremely durable. I am of the belief that creating new spaces for solar power generation is pointless. Our roofs are already there and they are not going anywhere. Also, the idea of a panel being separate from the roof seems like an added problem. The panel as a roof shingle seems like a perfect solution.
