PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- SRS Energy, a leading developer of
integrated solar roofing products, has received a 2009 "Best of What's New"

"We're proud that our Sole Power Tile system has been recognized by the
editors of Popular Science magazine as a product that is moving solar
technology forward," said Marty Low, CEO of SRS Energy. "The Sole Power Tile
system takes solar out of the glass box. We've fused this viable renewable
technology with a desired product profile for the roofing environment. This
is the first product to integrate with the Mission-style roof line of the West
and Sunbelt regions. Homeowners and architects can now choose renewable energy
without compromising on curb appeal."
"For 22 years, Popular Science has honored the innovations that surprise and
amaze us -- those that make a positive impact on our world today and challenge
our views of what's possible in the future," said Mark Jannot, Editor-in-Chief
of Popular Science. "'The Best of What's New' award is the magazine's top
honor, and the 100 winners -- chosen from among thousands of entrants --
represent the highest level of achievement in their fields."
Each year, Popular Science reviews thousands of new products and innovations
and selects the top 100 winners across 11 categories for inclusion in an
annual "Best of What's New" issue, which is on newsstands November 11. To be
selected for the award, a product or technology must represent a significant
step forward in its category.
SRS Energy's Sole Power Tile system blends seamlessly with several styles of
US Tile's clay tiles, providing energy without unsightly solar panels and
preserving design flexibility. The partnership between US Tile and SRS Energy
makes going solar easy by integrating the BIPV system into the purchase of a
new roof or a replacement roof.
The Sole Power Tile employs cutting-edge thin film solar technology, valued
for its ability to convert a greater spectrum of light into electricity as
well as its relative insensitivity to heat when compared to other solar
technologies. As a complete roofing system, the barrel tile profile allows
for airflow beneath the tiles, reducing the overall cooling needs of the home.
SRS Energy and US Tile are currently launching the Sole Power Tile system in
select West Coast markets and will begin a nationwide rollout of the product
in 2010.
