sunpower-solar-panelsSunPower announced its T5 Solar Roof Tile. Claimed by the company to be the most powerful solar rooftop system in the industry, the system doubles the energy per squared meter generated compared to systems mounted onto flat rooftops. In combination with SunPower's 96-cell solar panels, the T5 produces the industry's maximum solar energy per roof and provides great energy savings.

This is the industry's first all-in-one non penetrating rooftop product that combines a solar panel, frame and mounting system into a single pre-engineered product. The interlocking solar tiles provide wind resistence and a secure installation. The design is further adaptable to any flat or low-slope rooftop surface. The whole assembly is made from an engineered glass filled non-reactive polymer which eliminates the need for electrical grounding of the array. This makes the T5 easier and faster to install.
