Solar technology continues to advance as time goes on, especially in the field of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV). Lately, solar shingles and solar tile technologies have become an increasingly popular offering from installers, and many large companies like Tesla are tailoring their offerings to include these specialized installations.

When Tesla first announced its solar roof tiles in 2016, it was seen as a unique and revolutionary offering. But many other companies are coming out with similar products, and Chinese solar manufacturer Hanergy is the latest to take on this trend. Hanergy primarily manufactures thin-film panels, and just announced plans for a new generation of their solar tile technology, dubbed “HanTiles.”
