Coloring the roofs of the world

Why should solar panels all be the same color? Nayiye Hwang, the President of LOF Solar Corp. (which won a 2013 Taiwan Excellence Award), thinks that there is room for change. LOF Solar panels come in a variety of colors to match a variety of environments, or even a client's whims. For example, red panels are popular in Italy, where tiled roofs are common. The green panels have been used in German domestic architectural designs, and LOF panels formed a decorative mosaic to help power the China Pavilion at Shanghai World Expo 2010. Hwang admits the price is higher than that of conventional solar technology, but the versatility is prized by architects and planners who wish their creations to present a distinctive appearance.  (Bloomberg Businessweek November 11 - November 17, 2013 Page S2)
