The first curved solar tile to be introduced to the U.S. market, SRS
Energy’s Sole Power Tile(TM) seamlessly integrates with US Tile’s premium “S”
clay roofing systems. Sole Power Tile(TM) maintains the depth and aesthetics
of a sophisticated roofline. At the same time, Sole Power Tile(TM) is infused
with cutting-edge, electricity-generating technology. The partnership between
US Tile and SRS Energy makes a solar upgrade easy by integrating it into a
straightforward roof purchase.

“Consumption without consciousness is over,” said Steve Gast, president of
US Tile. “The industry is building smarter, more efficient homes. US Tile
has remained on the cutting edge of the green movement with cool roofs, LEED
outreach, and our recent Cradle to Cradle certification. With Sole Power
Tile(TM), SRS Energy offers the solar solution our customers want.”

Designed to blend with several of US Tile’s authentic clay tiles, SRS
Energy’s Sole Power Tile(TM) provides sustainable solar electricity without
unsightly solar panels. In this way, builders can offer homeowners appealing
options, and homeowners can go green and generate savings without sacrificing
aesthetics or dealing with the added complexities typically associated with
going solar.

“SRS Energy’s Sole Power Tile(TM) gives homeowners that seamless look,
which is something they seek. We also understand that the seamlessness cannot
stop at the roofline, which is why our Sole Power Tile(TM) will be sold and
installed by US Tile-certified contractors. No extra steps or complicated
installation by a separate technician,” said Marty Low, CEO of SRS Energy.
“We have made the sustainable upgrade a simple one for the homeowner, which
means it is also more accessible.”

US Tile is currently launching Sole Power Tile(TM) in select West Coast
markets. For more information, visit http://www.ustile.com or
