Shingle Power. Dow’s Solar Solutions division has introduced a photovoltaic roofing shingle that can be installed alongside typical asphalt shingles. Powerhouse solar shingles are nailed directly to the roof deck and electrically connected to each other with wireless plugs that require no electrical expertise from the roofer. This means they can be installed in common roof systems and retrofitted to existing shingle roofs. The company declined to provide pricing.
