A 2kW system? Yikes! That means ten modern 200+W solar panels could outproduce that entire roof. You’re going to need an awfully big roof to get any decent amount of power with this low-efficiency thinfilm.

Rhead, you can buy …
Rhead, you can buy it from solar suppliers, or solar integrator can install it for you. It may seem obvious, but you do need a standing seam metal roof, which most solar installers do not do. So you need both a metal roofing contractor to do a professional roof install and a solar integrator. That is unless you are a DIY type of person….

It is pricy: $9-12 per sq. foot for metal roof and $8-12 per W for solar.

Glad you took that …
Glad you took that the right way.

give it time, these will soon be cheap. Basically solar cell performance is following moore’s law. Ray Kurzweil talks about this quite a bit.

Your right the info is there but you really have to dig to find it. Coast of this system is better BUT it still takes too long to pay for itself. About 8 to 10 years. I am looking for something that will pay for itself in Less, than 4 years.
Thanks for the heads up though. And you have a great weekend.

Two mager flaws in …
Two mager flaws in this video.
#1 Does not tell you where you can buy them.
#2 Does not even suggest how much they coast.

DAMN, Why don’t you take the kidds to an ice cream store make them set there all day and not let them have any ice cream.
Who ever posted this video is a perverted sadist.
