Excellent post and excellent timing; I need a new roof and am considering going solar.

The way I hope the industry is heading...
Instead of shingles AND solar panels, why not combine both into a ~rubberized coating that absorbs heat and charges a battery bank?
Repairs would be simple; just reapply some more coating.
Same sort of technology for cars.
Cars could charge in the parking lot without ANY infrastructure.
Lots of real estate on f/r hoods and roof.
