By far the best time to install solar systems is when a new roof is needed. These tiles are a slam dunk for new roofs/construction and you can put a complementory color roof so you can barely tell thay are there.

This is awesome!
Hermann Scheer once envisioned solar tiles.
When he explained that renewable technologies could be installed faster than any other form of energy, he wondered “Why should it be difficult to install solar in a fast way, when it’s possible to install thousends of square miles of normal rooftop-tiles every year?”
“Why not use solar tiles? Of course you have to develope and build them, it takes organisation, but where is the fundamental problem?” he said in a Documentary from 2005.

Now they exist!
