HIGH-TECH ROOF


A worker (top photo) installs solar shingles Tuesday at a new home on Clinton Avenue under construction by local builder M.F. Smith & Associates. Mike Smith (below) holds one of the solar shingles. The shingles replace regular asphalt shingles and are manufactured by CertainTeed. Each shingle generates 52 watts. Seventy-seven shingles will be installed on the south side of the roof and should generate a total of 4 kilowatts, Smith said.
