Dow Chemical to produce thermoplastic solar roof shingles

MIDLAND -- Solar shingles is not a new disease, but Dow Chemical Co. hopes they spread like gangrene.
During the past year, engineers, scientists and others at Dow Solar Solutions -- a $50 million investment -- have worked at a photovoltaic facility, a retrofitted former research and development building in the company's sprawling 1,900-acre complex here.

Their goal is to produce thermoplastic solar roof shingles for sale throughout North America. With President Barack Obama's insistence on renewable energy and conservation, the time is ripe for such an enterprise, said Robert J. Cleereman, senior director of solar development for Dow.

Using thin film photovoltaic technology, Dow intergrates solar cells with shingles. By 2011, officials expect to begin selling the product with its partners -- home builders Lennar Corp. of Miami, Pulte Homes Inc. of Bloomfield Hills and Jefferson City, Mo.-based Prost Builders Inc., and Global Solar Energy, a maker of flexible materials.

2. Don't you just love how the corporation-nation states are now allowed

to cash in further with the green energy concepts? They have raped every dime from us and are now wanting to rape us some more. The tech the article is talking was developed at a University, which then sold the license. On Eco-Tech, on one of the Discovery Channels, showed this technology.
