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.

they make solar shingles too... Not sure it's affordable though. I wanted a new roof and I wanted metal, but thankfully that old roof was still go enough for now.
