The usual rooftop solar panels can now be produced in a variety of colours. If you are adventurous you might be interested in purple, gold or pink. There are some more subdued tones available too – brown, red and grey. But why would you want coloured solar panels?
Apart from making you stand out from the crowd these coloured panels do have a practical use – blending in. One of the objections to rooftop PV is the visual effect. Black solar panels on the red roof of a listed property would stand out. So there is now the option of having red panels instead. A solar farm in a field could be visible for miles, but if the panels were green they wouldn’t be so obvious.
