Dear Mr. Scott,

Thank you for your interest in Dow Solar Solutions.

Dow is currently developing solar energy collection technology called Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPVs), which will enable solar energy generation materials to be incorporated directly into the design of commercial and residential building materials; such as roofing systems, exterior sidings, fascias and more.

Traditionally the costs for photovoltaic or solar power have been very high and uncompetitive and the process to incorporate them on homes has been very cumbersome for homeowners.  Dow is working with a consortium of partners to change all that.  This new innovative product and technology is designed to make solar power more accessible and affordable for homeowners, and because it can be installed by the same roofing contractor that installs conventional shingles, it will reduce installation time and costs.

Recently Dow Solar Solutions unveiled its line of DOW POWERHOUSE(TM) Solar Shingle, revolutionary photovoltaic solar panels in the form of solar shingles that can be integrated into rooftops with standard asphalt shingle materials. The solar shingle systems are expected to be available to select builders and channels partners in limited quantities by mid-2011 and are projected to be more widely available in 2012, putting the power of solar electricity generation directly and conveniently in the hands of homeowners.

Groundbreaking technology from Dow Solar Solutions (DSS) integrates low-cost, thin-film CIGS photovoltaic cells into a proprietary roofing shingle design, which represents a multi-functional solar energy generating roofing product. The innovative product design reduces installation costs because the conventional roofing shingles and solar generating shingles are installed simultaneously by roofing contractors.

Once again, thank you for your interest in Dow Solar Solutions.
