Unisolar shingles required using Wiremold wiring gutters on the
underside of the roof with flex metal conduit on every set of wires,
since DC must be in metal conduit in a building. The installation
was a giant project. The UL listing disappeared shortly after the project.

Ditto... we've quoted Atlantis Sunslates at least a dozen times but the
extreme price premium and need to do the entire roof in an odd-sized
Swiss-made roof tile always kills the project. I've also been told many
of the PV shingles being used in the warmer southern states are not
applicable to freeze/thaw climates. Would love to see a reasonably
priced product in a normal form factor for the north though, as I'm sure
there's a market.

Not so fabulous...
A pain to install, expensive.
We have never gotten past the quoting stage on them. Once sticker shock
hits
they either back out or go with conventional panels.

Hi All,
I take it that since their were no bites on my earlier query about the
use
of PV shingles, that either no one uses them or you want to keep this
fabulous technology a secret...
Thanks,
Howie
