SRS Energy Solar Roofing System

This country and the world have billions of square feet of residential roof space in latitudes that can support effective electricity generation if they were fitted with photovoltaic materials integrated into a desirable roofing product. SRS is that desirable roofing solution. Electricity generating roofs will be tied to the grid, supporting the local electrical demand and reducing the cost of electricity use for the homeowner while contributing to demand side management issue for the utilities.

Imagine
SRS achieves critical aesthetic balance. The aesthetic statement is at one time familiar while being distinctive enough to promote pride of ownership. The roof does not fight with the other roofing products around it but communicates that it is a something special. This is achieved through the abstract expression, though not imitation, of a barrel tiled roof.

Implement
SRS is in formal development. Certainteed recently invested in the company and first prototypes are on line in several test sites. The core technical challenges have been resolved and target commercial launch date is slated for 2010.

Impact
In addition to reducing dependence on fossil fuel, going solar is an energy cost-saving decision: Homeowners can generate and resell to the utility up to 80 percent of their electricity needs. Each installed 3Kw roof will reduce CO2 omissions by 95 tons or save the equivalent of 188,000 automotive driving miles.
