Open Energy Corporation (OTC BB: OEGY.OB), has announced the signing of a national distribution agreement for SolarSave® Roofing Tiles and Balance of System products with DC Power Systems, one of the largest wholesale renewable energy distributors in the country.
Open Energy Roofing Tiles are building integrated solar products designed for both new construction and re-roofing. The tiles are claimed to maintain the natural look of your property while generating clean, safe, efficient electricity from the sun. They can be easily installed on commercial, industrial, institutional, and residential structures, making them an ideal solution renewable energy projects.
The Polycarbonate tiles are available in black, red/brown and blue/grey, resulting in solar power systems that are aesthetically superior to competitive products. Each tile is 17” x 36” x 1”, weighs 12 Ibs and the output per tile is: Black: 35 watts DC I Red: 30 watts DC I Brown: 31 watts DC.
Open Energy provided the design and constructing all materials for a 31.5 kilowatt photovoltaic roofing system with SolarSave PV roof tiles for the Tahoe environmental research and education facility on the Sierra Nevada College campus in Incline Village, NV as well as installations at the Evelyn Pease Tyner Interpretive Center, located in Glenview, Illinois and for the LEED certified, Energy Efficient Lifestyle Green Options Optimally Developed Condominiums in Chicago, Illinois.
This is more a question than a comment. As former long time denizen of the solar energy business(albeit as a financier/lawyer rather than a technician). I long ago came to the conclusion that the most promising mid-term market for solar energy would be in roofing products, both for homeowner benefit and eventual contributions to the electric power grid. Some time ago I made a small investment in Open Energy Inc. which you have recently posted on Energy Blog, and I wonder of you could some day write a separate thought-piece on the promise of solar roofing products

We used to do a lot of solar install's many years ago, but now there are actually making a little comeback with the whole "green" movement.

This is an thought provoking idea. I wonder at the cost of the product and difficulties installing them. What is the learning curve for installation is it something that could be taught in a 3-4 day seminar.

I am sure there would be great possibilities for this product here in Turkey, where solar power (except for heating water) is not used as much as it could be.

Sounds good. Solar energy systems have the potential to be an effective add-on to your roof and home. It depends on the location though, since you have to rely on the sun to get the electricity you need.
