Last month, the Pacific Coast Builders Conference held its annual competition for cool building products. One of the Top 5 green building products selected by home building professionals? The Eagle Solar Roof. In addition to solar roofing, Eagle makes concrete roofing tile that’s popular in the Southwest. Here’s more about their solar tile:

• Maintains the aesthetics of a tile roof, integrating into the roof’s existing shape while generating electricity.
• 10-year warranty available for 90% output, 25 years for 80% output.
• 10-year warranty available on the inverter.
• 10 years of free Internet-based, solar system monitoring.

According to Eagle Roofing, solar electric systems increase home value and recover more than 100% of their cost. In addition, the system can be sized according to how much power you want to produce. Contact a certified solar contractor about installation.
