How do solar shingles work?
Solar shingles, also known as photovoltaic shingles, are designed to generate electricity using sunlight. These shingles contain solar cells made of crystalline silicon or thin-film technology, which can convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. Each shingle is connected to a power inverter, which converts the DC electricity produced by solar cells into alternating current (AC) electricity that can be used by household appliances. Solar shingles are installed on the roof just like traditional roofing shingles and can generate electricity for up to 25 years. They are an alternative way to power a home with renewable energy while also providing protection and insulation.
