Certainteed solar roof?

4 years ago

last modified: 4 years ago

Does anyone know about or have a Certainteed solar roof? I am looking into their Apollo II product https://www.certainteed.com/solar/products/apollo-ii/ It sits much more flush with the roof than a typical solar panel so I like the asthetics but wondering if it is a good product and haven't been able to track down any reviews online. Thanks!

A photo would help, but I wouldn't go any darker than the Pewter based on sml's photo. It would work with white siding and the other colors you mentioned. Depending on the house design, extremely dark roofs can be pretty severe and also create a lot of focus.

Trying to decide between "shadow grey" and "autumn blend" and real-life pictures will help! Is the autumn blend more brown than grey? I want more grey tone, but with just a sprinkle of red/browns. Hope someone can help! TIA.

That is a great picture - I couldn’t find our roof in pictures. We do love that roof - used to have heavy red tile. The stone is wonderful - maybe someday. We are testing swatches of SW Portico wall with SW Natural Tan trim. The gutters would be Portico (or darker? Don’t want to make roof even larger, though.) Might paint the new garage doors in trim with the inner square panels in wall color.
