Solar panels developed by EPFL spin-off Insolight deliver
I think the concentrated solar panels would look ok on my roof. I think the contrast of solar panels on a Spanish tile roof with a lot of dormers is pretty ugly. That high end roof is the kind that needs a Tesla solar roof if it is ever becomes available. I think if you have a white asphalt roof, these panels would blend in and disappear.
