Saw something similar they are using now in the states. Let me find it again.

Here they are. These would really fit the roofing style of most homes in Thailand I'd think:

SRS Energy Sole' Power Tile Photovoltaic Tile System

The SRS Energy Sole' Power Tile Photovoltaic Tile system is designed for integration with clay & concrete roofing tile systems. The Sole' Power Tile is a thin film mission tile profile photovoltaic module, that blends seamlessly into the roof system. SRS Energy has designed the Sole' Power Tile system as a photovoltaic solution for the customer that desires the aesthetics of a clay tile mission profile roof system. Manufactured with triple junction amorphous thin film photovoltaic technology, the Sole' Power Tile is lightweight and provides excellent power production in low and obscured light conditions.

And it seems this company is already well situated in the Pacific and Asia:

I bet there from Germany? most of the good construction idea's come from there.

Looking at the pic again, how does the water drain out with all those ridges..

Surely the water would flow diagonally from top right to bottom left of the picture. My guess is that you think the water is flowing from top left to bottom right of the picture. Either that or you are just having a laugh LOL.
 
Theres a solar factory under construction right now on the 2077. Halfway between Surin and Lam Duan
 
There in use in Amsterdam and other parts of Euro and are meant to be coming over here soon . Here is a close up

The panel is raised above the tile . I believe an Italian invention ImageUploadedByTapatalk1351234003.508158.jpg
 
Alan, you may need to explain to us lay people the meaning of "triple junction amorphous thin film photovoltaic technology".

For convection cells on the sun's surface, see Granule (solar physics).


A solar cell made from a monocrystalline silicon wafer


Solar cells can be used to build small solar collection devices such as this portable monocrystalline solar charger.


A monocrystalline solar cell
A solar cell (also called a photovoltaic cell) is an electrical device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect. It is a form of photoelectric cell (in that its electrical characteristics-- e.g. current, voltage, or resistance-- vary when light is incident upon it) which, when exposed to light, can generate and support an electric current without being attached to any external voltage source.

Easy !
 
I'm impressed by your understanding of advanced physics, AtB. Great stuff. Just testing!

Looked like a cut and paste to me...............:tongue:

The cutting was OK, but the pasting was disjointed (a bit of a giveaway!)

I am still somewhat unsure so will probably go to Global World or IQ and ask about the new tiles that employ "triple junction amorphous thin film photovoltaic technology". Their employees should be able to explain it all in words of one syllable.
