In San Francisco, they’re harnessing the sun’s energy with elegance, creating Mission-style clay roof tiles that convert sunlight into electricity.

Solé is the lightweight, recyclable tile developed by SRS energy that is revolutionizing the style of the green movement, according to an article in the San Francisco Chronicle. The tiles can last up to 20 years and are much more durable than similar tiles, withstanding high pressure and intense sunlight.

Michael McCaffrey, the company’s chief financial officer, said the tiles aren’t fragile like clay – people can walk all over them. Even more impressive is only 700 square-foot squares of tiles can provide up to 75 percent of a home’s energy needs, capturing solar power even on cloudy days.
