That's the problem though. Thinking your product will get by on looks when it's clearly outcompeted on performance, price, availability and longevity. That's not just optimism, it's delusion.

I'm also not sure if its actually worse on longevity.
I'm sure the steel shingle will last a fair time but if the PV elements need replacing four times a century, that's not a non-trivial cost.
When my PV panels die, it's just £400 a panel, four hex bolts and some quick connectors to replace it. It's no contest.
May I present to you the Apple corporation, at least until recently.
