I'd rather not have shingles at all. Panels attached to a standing seam metal roof might not be attractive to some people, but it's still the best option for minimal maintenance and longevity.
These products aren't posted to their website yet. But their existing solstice line is up to 110MPH, for 10yrs, in the warranty. So class F on building materials grade. A class 5 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale is 157+ mph? But don't fear, some solar mounting for hurricanes already exists as does some asphalt roofing. It'll cover these corner cases soon as solar+roofing is pretty new all things being equal.
@@JohnFields I appreciate the quick and knowledgeable response. Living in FL it's a must be cat 5 ready. Last hurricane that hit our state I saw houses that lost 98% of the panels. Then not having ⚡ for 2 weeks or so sucks especially knowing your panels are in the canal behind your home.
That sales guy was terrible, he didn't listen to a single question., just bablbling company line. Nick had to ask every question twice to get an actual answer. Good job Nick
Well, asphalt what everyone has been using FOREVER and they barely recycle 10%. It's really all landfill at EOL. Agreed it would be better to have solar as a roof so it can be truly recycled at EOL. Plus the benefit of it paying for itself in free electricity over the years.
@@JohnFields Hi… I don’t think anyone wants shinny black small objects nailed down over asphalt shingles. The ‘solar collectors’ should not define the house. I thought the guy being interviewed was not the right guy to represent a new technology. He was better suited to explaining the installation of a cost reduced solution. - I know this perspective will not be well received. :-)

I'm sure the solar shingles come in any color you want so long as it's black
Great video!
Will it survive category 5 🌀?

Not everyone feels totally comfortable on camera. He did a great job.
dudes high on Adderall and not following the questions lol
Certainteed needs to train this rep better. He’s being asked very specific questions but giving very general unsatisfying answers.
Why would you add a marginal product that’s can’t ever be recycled.

Well I think metal roofing is viable and recyclable
