Here is the latest GIGS THIN FILM technology integrated with the same ARTEZANOS HYBRID TIPV. CHEAPER,MORE POWER DENSITY, FASTER TO INSTALL, LIGHTER WEIGHT….and can be used with any “TRUE” barrel roof tile and any solar technology withourt racks and penetrations…

The SRS tile actually uses “JUNK SLABS” from UNISOLAR. The Unisolar material has a 6.5%-6.7% efficiency as designed when it lays flat. Do you think modifying the product so that it is unulated, will increase the efficiency? I hardly think so! And then there is this question of the feasibility and sustainability of using “PLASTICS”. After all the only Clay Tile you can use is one specific roof profile of one specific manufacturer “U$ Tile”…

For those of you who get beat up for being a roofer interested in solar, please enlighten Jim, when installing “S” Roof Tile, you lay them vertical and not in horizontal rows accross the roof like a flat tile profile. SRS commits you to their three tiles in one design that automatically decides how you install this tile contrary to whats normal in the field.

I applaud SRS efforts, however the way to scale the market with residential solar is to make it “UNIVERSAL” and affordable and the SOLE design does neither. Its an expensive VISIBLE inefficient solar product.

PHILADELPHIA, September 28, 2010 – SRS Energy, a leading developer of designer
solar products, was recently featured on DIY Network’s This New House. The segment
highlights their innovative Solé Power Tile™, the first curved solar roof tile designed to
integrate seamlessly with profiled clay roof products.

“SRS Energy has received tremendous response from homeowners around the globe that
have chosen not to invest in a solar power system due to the unsightly aesthetics
associated with conventional solar panels,” said JD Albert, CEO of SRS Energy. “We
are excited to partner with This New House and support their effort in educating
homeowners about cutting-edge technology and products.”

The SRS Energy Solé Power Tile™ is the first curved solar power product to obtain UL
certification and a listing on the California Energy Commission’s list of approved solar
modules. In July, Solé was installed on the Sunset Magazine Dream Remodel home in
Los Gatos, California. SRS Energy began commercial shipments in August and is
featured on the ELLE DECOR magazine 2010 Showcase Home in San Francisco,
California.

This New House is a new magazine-style series on DIY Network, where co-hosts Amy
Matthews and This Old House’s Kevin O’Connor bring viewers inside homes that feature
innovative building materials. Matthews explores a Solé Power Tile installation in
Northern California as part of episode ‘Big Heat From Deep Cold.’ In addition to the
superior aesthetics achieved by preserving the timeless roofline, Matthews highlights the
vastly improved and simplified installation. “It’s just so complicated to install solar SRS Energy –
panels on barrel tile roofs,” states Matthews. “Up till now, you had to drill through the tile which is brittle and prone to cracking, in order to mount the racks for traditional solar panels. Plus they wreck the roofline, which is a big reason why homeowners go clay barrel in the first place.”

The segment initially aired on September 16th, and will run again September 29th, October 2nd, October 28th, and October 29th. For show times and more information on This New House, visit http://www.diynetwork.com/this-newhouse/show/index.html.
