yea I was talking about photovoltaic systems, to offset your electric and oil bill they make shingles that act as solar panels now, no ugly big panels. I’ve been piecing them together for some time. Im contemplating switching from my NG boiler heat to NG forced hot air… already have central air in the house. ---

> [@Code Blue](#): > > they make shingles that act as solar panels now, no ugly big panels. I’ve been piecing them together for some time. You already have some PV shingles? cool, I thought the efficiency wasn’t that great still? For residential I thought Sun power was the best with their back side contact silicon cells. Of course we don’t have the best area for PV being in NY and all :lol ---
