Improving the aesthetic requirements of the design elements led to the fact that the solar panel and solar tiles are design element. Solar roof tiles are a new technology and have increased their energy efficiency and aesthetics over the 10 years of their existence. An alternative technology of thermoelectric generators has a lower level of efficiency, but at the same time it can work even without solar radiation. The analysis of the payback of solar panels showed that the sensitivity of the use of technology depends not only on the cost of the equipment itself, but also on the cost of traditional energy sources. The prospects for new solutions will depend on the reduction in the cost and increase in the cost of electricity for the household consumer.
