This is wonderful...and because the plastic bottles and seal around them will most likely decay, along with the galvanized roofs, in the sun and weather, this will be an ongoing, but truly environmentally benign, low cost, green project. That is, unless the sealant has toxic chemicals in it.

BY CONTRAST - solar panels installed in homes are not so green and benign...they end up needing rare earths which are causing untold misery from cancer and early deaths in Chinese villages where these minerals are mined.

By explanation, the film on the glass of these solar panels contains rare earths.

Smart consumers today are looking no further than solar panel electricity as a natural and efficient energy source.
