And I was just getting used to despising plastic slate...

"Solar Electric Roofing Tiles ... More than a roof over your head.

What other roofing system lowers electric demand as much as 90 percent?

(The one that lets water drip on the main electric panel and shorts the joint
out.)

It's hard to match the quiet, clean efficiency of SUNSLATES TM solar electric
roofing tiles from Atlantis Energy. While the tiles may look like
conventional shingles, there is no other roofing system quite like it.
That's because SUNSLATES' photovoltic (PV) cells directly convert energy from
the sun into electricity, providing as much as 90 percent of your electricity.

(Who has a noisy roof? Oh, yes, COD w/ the metal roofing. Shingles, tiles or
slates? What about wires? Or is this wireless electric transmission... as in
lightnin'? Don't let your floppy disk near the roof.)

An advanced photovoltic technology, electricity-generating roofing tiles, are
a dependable source of renewable energy that's economical and safe.   Backed
by a 10-year guarantee, SUNSLATES TM are surprisingly more affordable than
traditional rack-mounted PV roofing systems.

SUNSLATES TM are suited to new buildings as well as to retrofitting. Approx.
25 m2 (270 sq.ft.) cover the average annual consumption of a family (in grid
connection). Surface is available: for example, several million m2 of roofs
are built annually only in Switzerland."

(Histo presto retrofit. Says nothing of designer colors. Where is Ralph Loren
when we need him? Why are roofs built only in Switzerland?)
