interesting thing is that house you see around you are all solar houses so we're gonna show you this is the before shot of that house over there so that's what it looked like before now that's old solar yeah we've got some close-up shots so we can show and if you look if you look carefully you can actually see the the solar cells behind the glass this is a textured glass tile if you look carefully you can see the solar the solar cells yeah see that so we have a malfunction on the LED good so all right so the better house is also solar and that's a sort of a style above a french slate which is one of the hardest things to to do is it's considered one of the best roofs you can possibly do as a conventional roof so said well if okay can we make a french slate roof that's so low that looks as good or better than a conventional French slate roof and we're able to do that as well that's done with hydrographic printing so each tile is unique so that it's the production process itself makes each tile especially unique is sort of special snowflake tile the but the nice thing is like no two roofs will be the same so it's not just cookie cutter you can take any two roofs like that and they will look different because they are different this is the so what the French late hydrographic looks like and see that and then this the third house is really transformative guess believe it or not that's what it looked like before so we changed the roofings like whoa put that roof on we got to change the house too so that that you know that that tile is is more of a modern look and here you can really see as the angle changes that you can see the solar cells so here we put a film with micro louvers on it so that as as the angle changes it goes from transparent to opaque so from the vantage point of the street or anywhere near the house it looks completely opaque but from the Sun it's to the Sun it's transparent and then probably the most pricing one is that the Tuscan tuscan glass so this is also solar panels but we put two versions of the the tuscan glass approach all of the dark tiles have solar panels so we interleave a dark and light and then the dark ones are the ones with solar panels again you can see that the transparency changes quite a bit so as you from the sun's vantage point which tends to be high angle you can see that the sole of the solar cells but as you change the angle to shallow angle it reverts to a sort of a orangey color as a demonstration video show you what happens if you drop a drop a big weight on a conventional roof tile and one of our glass tiles so so that's the solar roof weren't just we wanted to look better last longer provide better insulation and cost less all things considered than a conventional roof
