Eli5: Why didn’t some form of solar shingle/form end up successful?

302 views

I know there probably is a good reason, either the tech, financial trade offs, etc.

And I’m not a homeowner but I’ve been watching on the topic lately.

Wouldn’t serving as a roof have a significant offset to the true cost? Even at 50% off the roof?

It seems they do the opposite, build on the existing ones.

Edit roof not form

Instead of large panels you now need to have a ton of small ones, and they have to look like real roof shingles/tiles.

You also have techs specialized in installing and setting them up.
