Solar Photovoltaic Home, Ohio

www.motherearthnews.com/Renewable-Energy/Thin-Film-Solar-...

Unique home with integrated shingles incorporating flexible triple junction hydrogenated amorphous silicon and silicon-germanium alloy photovoltaic materials on stainless steel foil. A stack of three thin film solar cells, each with a different semiconductor band gap enables light collection over a broader range of solar wavelengths than is possible with a single band gap amorphous semiconductor.

This home generates its own electricity from sunlight.
