The POWERHOUSE Solar System 2.0 (PH 2.0) combines the performance and protection of a conventional asphalt roof with an integrated photovoltaic (PV) system that powers the home. PH 2.0 is a higher energy density system that improves industry leading integrated aesthetics and delivers the same high quality you have come to expect in a Dow solution.
PH 2.0 has been developed with the professional roofer in mind, featuring robust waterproofing integration with common roofing materials and fewer roof penetrations than panels, all backed by a 20 year warranty. PH 2.0 gives homeowners the utility savings they expect while displacing traditional roofing materials for an additional savings that panels cannot offer.
PH 2.0 serves the need of homeowners who want to go solar, but aren’t willing to accept the complexity and sub-optimal aesthetics currently offered by bulky, rack-mounted systems.
POWERHOUSE Solar System 2.0 Product Details
The POWERHOUSE Solar System 2.0 (PH 2.0) operates as both a roof and solar product, and is installed directly onto the roof deck along with standard asphalt roofing shingles. PH 2.0 is both the roof and the solar energy generator, and has a uniform appearance for superior aesthetics. PH 2.0 has projected lower installation costs and eliminates the need for specialty underlayments. PH 2.0 has easier removal and the replacement of the solar PV insert provides flexibility in system maintenance and replacement. The PV material used in PH 2.0 is a thin CIGS (Copper indium gallium selenide) technology produced by NuvoSun called NuvoSun Flex PV cells.
