Photovoltaic shingles serve
as a conventional shingle for
 weather
protection, while generating clean solar electricity to commercial and
residential buildings. SHR17.
PV SHINGLES (SHR)
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?
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).
