Abstract: An exemplary system and method for forming a solar panel system includes manufacturing solar panel sheets via thin film solar technology that include a flashing overlap and a non-dry adhesive located on the bottom surface of the sheets such that the solar panel sheets form a moisture barrier on the roof while providing a renewable solar energy source. The solar panel system that forms a moisture barrier on the roof of a structure may include a non-glare surface treatment to provide the appearance of standard 30 year shingles. Additionally, the solar panel system may include a temperature/pressure/light transmissibility sensor system configured to notify a homeowner when the solar panel system is dirty, obscured, or should be changed to reverse current mode to melt snow or ice buildup.
