Installing solar shingles is not difficult and can be very cost effective. Think of your entire roof as solar panels and you start to get the real sense that the development of this product is a real breakthrough.
Most solar roof shingles are made by Uni-Solar, Combining solar innovation with award winning design, the flexible shingle (SHR) assumes the pattern of traditional asphalt shingles. The new PV enables roofs of residential or commercial buildings to become sources of electricity as well as protection from the elements.
The PV face is textured to blend and complement the granular surface of conventional surrounding buildings. 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 suns warmth helps bond them 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.
UNI-SOLAR Photovoltaic shingles serve as a conventional solar shingles for weather protection, while generating clean solar electricity to commercial and residential buildings.
This product has been honored with the prestigious Popular Science Grand Award, “Best of What’s New (Environmental Technology),” and Discover magazine’s “Technical Innovation Award” for best innovation (Environment).
UNI-SOLAR photovoltaic laminates (PVL) are flexible and lightweight laminates made exceptionally durable by encapsulation in UV stabilized polymers. The polymer encapsulation is partially constructed of durable ETFE, (example, Tefzel) a high-light-transmissive polymer.
Power Ratings from 64W to 136W, Lightweight, Flexible, Easy Peel and Stick Application, Virtually Unbreakable (No Glass), High Heat Tolerant and Shadow low light performance, Quick connect terminals, 20 year warranty 80% power output, U.L. listed.
Using this product is a great way to save money on your energy bills by producing energy from your entire roof. Most applications are made on only the south facing side but it depends on your own roof design.
The cost is equivalent to most conventional roofs and is especially cost effective in new construction where a new design incorporating the fact that the sun must hit the panels directly to work best must be taken into account.
It is not a difficult matter to make one entire roof pointed directly at the sun, it is a simple part of the overall building plan to do so.
Many people ask about the price of this product and each application is different depending on shipping, location and your installation skills. It is important to contact the company for specific information about your location and power demands.
Solar Shingles can work for you, either new construction or on an existing building.
