The solar generation system for homeowners still is not very efficient when it 
comes to installation.  In my case, I installed a new roof, then covered much 
of it with solar panels.  That is a waste of materials and money.  Ideally, the 
solar panels could replace the roof, which could reduce installation costs.  I 
understand one company now makes solar shingles, although my concern would be 
all the connections waiting to fail.  But, large interlocking panels could 
allow the homeowner to install the panels on south facing roofs, when 
replacing.  

My panels put out a couple hundred volts, when then goes to an inverter.  Heck, 
we could power the inverter directly from the solar panels, then when the sun 
comes out, fire up the big amp.
