Here's the article that introduced me to solar roof tiles: http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2004/10/65413 what a GREAT idea, unfortunately i have the curved tiles on my home now, and a complete reroof is out of the question - my house is only 3 weeks old! but if someone bites, let us know, and post up some pics for reference! http://www.premierpower.com/solar_energy_residential/roof_solar_tile.php
Looks interesting, but I never buy the first release of anything. Let someone else be the bug checker. I'd be concerned about damage, but I guess it wouldn't be any more suceptable than any other panels.
Wait five years for the price to come down. I considerd putting them on 2 years ago after the hurricane. They couldn't promise they would take a 125 mph wind.
Living in South Florida that is one of the issues that with hurricane frequency we would have a ton solar panels as liter all over the place after a storm...
