With the increased interest of renewable solar energy technologies,
Innovative Roof solar panels are being developed all over the world.
Photovoltaic solar panel technology recently has been able to produce electricity at a cost that's almost the same as fossil fuels (about 6 cents per kilowatt hour).
There are two types of roof solar panels.
1. Photovoltaic solar panels that collect and convert solar energy into electricity.
2. Solar thermal panels that absorb the heat from solar energy and transfer it to liquid medium such as water to use as heat energy.
Solar Panels info
The roof of a home or business is the ideal location for placement of photovoltaic and solar thermal panels due to the greater amount direct sunlight and heat that can be collected. Also it reduces the visual footprint of the solar panels which many find unsightly.
Photovoltaic and solar thermal roof solar panels for homes and businesses are being developed in many different designs. With new innovations and the creation of roof solar panels that don’t make a structure look like a space station, popularity is growing quickly.
With the demand of poly silicon on the rise the cost to produce PV roof solar panels technology will continue to be high for many years. New thin-film photovoltaic technologies that use copper, indium, gallium, and diselenide instead of poly silicon, roof solar panels have become even more efficient, durable and versatile.
If our politicians could spend our taxes wisely (oxymoron) to promote solar power, they would invest in "big solar"—solar power plants that would cover hundreds of square miles of desert( very large footprint), producing energy on a massive scale with mirrors that concentrate the heat of the sunlight to produce electricity
There are problems that may stall or delay many large solar power projects, from environmental issues to overcoming government and local regulations.

A more logical solution to producing clean energy would be to invest in roof solar panels for our homes and businesses. This would reduce the amount of utility infrastructure needed with the energy not used sold back to the power companies saving us billions of our tax dollars
Some of the new new energy technology home roof solar panels are:
1. Fully contained PV and thermal roof solar panels.
2. Roof solar panels designed to look like shingles.
3. New thin-film pv solar panels that are produced in rolls.
4. Home made solar panels.
Commercially manufactured Roof solar panel systems that are fully contained and placed over the top of the home or business roofing system generally are more expensive. A large portion of the initial cost is labor as the cost to install complete systems and integrating them into existing home or business utility systems can be very complex requiring trained technicians.
If you are a do it yourselfer There are many companies that promote quality information and support on home made roof solar panels and systems you can easily build yourself with minimal cost that will give you a quick return on investment.
Home made roof solar panels are very popular, and will have the quickest return on investment.
Here are some of the informative and knowledgeable companies on the net!!

As of 2009 the efficiency and amount of electricity of roof solar panels has become a big concern for many people making an investment decision for installation in there home or business.
Many questions need to be asked when you are considering installation of roof solar panels.
Any roof solar panel project is cost up front!!
1. You need to know exactly how much power you consume and what your expectations are from a solar system.
2. A cost payback analysis and energy payback analysis to help determine how many sq feet of roof solar panels you will need.
3. make sure you know maintenance costs and life cycle of the roof solar panels you are going to install.
4. Make sure you find a knowledgeable contractor who guarantees all aspects of the installation.
Many have environmental concerns and the conception that the production of roof solar panels are carbon intensive, but the facts actually point to them being less carbon intensive than all other energy producing technologies.
Weather you are concerned about economic, environmental or your personal energy independence, installing roof solar panels world wide will be the largest future contributor to clean renewable environmentally safe energy.
