Roof Shingles roof shingles, and photovoltaic shingles

Combining solar innovation with award winning design, the flexible SHR assumes the pattern of traditional asphalt shingles. The new PV shingle enables roofs of residential or commercial buildings to become sources of electricity as well as protection from the elements. The PV shingle face is textured to blend and complement the granular surface of conventional surrounding shingles. Each shingle is 12 inches (30.48 cm) wide by 86.5 inches (219.71 cm) long and nailed in place on roof decking over 30 lb. felt sheeting. Electrical lead wires, #18AWG, extend 12 inches (30.48 cm) from underside of each shingle and pass through the roof deck allowing interior roof space connections. Once in place, the sun’s warmth helps bond shingles together forming a weather-resistant seal. Cell exposure 5.0 inches (12.7 cm) x 86.4 inches (219.46 cm). Array size depends on power demands.
 

How do you install the solar shingles?

Roof Shingles roof shingles, and photovoltaic shingles

An owner's installation manual is included with the purchase of all solar roofing products.  In general, a roofing contractor will begin by following conventional roofing installation procedures, until the solar shingle installation. Using a template provided by Manufacturer, the roofer will then mark and drill holes for the solar shingle wiring to be pulled through the roof. After the solar shingles are installed to match the course of the conventional shingles, an electrical system installer will wire the solar shingles together in the space below the roof, and then wire the array of shingles to the combiner box.  The electrical contractor will take the wires from the combiner box and run them down to the power conditioning equipment (charge controller, meters, system disconnect switches, fuses, inverter, and batteries).
