Solar Pv Roof Tiles

The tiles are screwed to battens on the roof plywood level.

Solar pv roof tiles.

L shape hooks for tile roof racking system can result in tile breakage due to the impact of wind and weather. Suntegra photovoltaic shingles are based on the same solar technology that is used for standard solar panels. Since the integrated pv surface is curved by nature sunlight will always reach the roof tiles at an optimal angle. Solar shingles are thin photovoltaic pv sheets that can replace or lay on top of existing roof shingles.

The technology also known as solar roof tiles was pioneered by dow chemical and further innovated by tesla. A roof solar array will be moving up and down in moderate wind causing the panels to flex continuously. Each shingle includes 16 solar cells with a power output of 64 to 67 watts. The flexsol solar roof tile not only respects the design of the structure it is placed upon it generates more energy than conventional pv panels.

The shingle system is built to match with asphalt shingle roofs while the tile system will integrate with concrete roof tiles. Desol power tiles also has a solar roof but uses individual polypropylene tiles similar in shape to traditional roofing tiles. An entire roof is installed with some of the tiles having 17 w monocrystalline solar cells embedded.
