Solstice Shingle seamlessly integrates with any asphalt shingles, and can produce about as much energy as conventional, rack-mounted solar panels without the bulky look. It has a category-leading hail impact rating*, and offers superior performance under diffused light and shade leading to increased energy production throughout the course of the day. The shingle can be installed directly by a roofing contractor - with the assistance from an electrician. 

Solstice Panel features stylish all-black solar panels that can be installed with either a new or existing asphalt shingle roof. For those wanting to lower their home’s energy consumption, the Solar Panel balances style, efficiency, and value.
