DOW Solar Roof Shingles
More Markets Roll Out as DOW Trains Roofing Companies in Various Markets
From Ucilia Wang a Contributor for FORBES:
"On a hot sunny day in late May, a roofing crew arrived at the Madrigals’ home near Sacramento for a rather unusual job. Taking out what appeared at first to be typical shingles out of cardboard boxes, workers pounded nails into what were in fact sheets of solar cells covered in thin glass. When completed, the Madrigals got a new power-generating roof and became the first customers in California for Dow Solar’s hybrid shingles."
"Dow is producing shingles in a limited quantity at a pilot line. It’s building a larger factory, also located in Midland, Mich., and plans to start producing shingles there in early 2013, Pezolt said. He declined to disclose the new factory’s production capacity, which would provide a clue to the company’s sales forecast."
