Find out if your conservation area has a problem with solar slate roofing? (gb-sol.co.uk) (There are a few other companies that do integrated/'invisible' PV tiles now. I only mention GB Sol because they're based in south Wales and have been around for decades.)

I pre-ordered it in the UK thinking it would arrive in time for Halloween. Alas, apparently the UK publication date is January 2026. Ah well, a new years grisly romp is almost as good as a Halloween one. (Maybe too much grisly romping at Halloween anyway.)
