Muses Inc Netherlands 20:25 Jul 5, 2010  I just looked at the link below - thesaurus.com- and the only thing that makes sense to me in the context is 'rooftop coverings'... which will then be covered by solar panels... I'd stick with roof too! http://thesaurus.com/browse/roof?__utma=1.1252133129.1277032...|utmccn=(direct)|utmcmd=(none)&__utmv=-&__utmk=33525950 Robert Mavros Spain ASKER 20:24 Jul 5, 2010  Thanks, I'll take yor advice.
