Uni-Solar has a unique concept that combines the function of roofing
shingles with solar PV. These flexible thin-film solar cell shingles can
be installed in new construction nailed in place using common roofing nails on
conventional roof decking over 30-lb felt underlayment. They can also be
placed over existing roofing. The surface is textured to blend and
complement the granular surface of the surrounding conventional
shingles. Two 12" long 18 gauge lead wires exit from the underside
of each shingle strip. The lead wires on the backside of the head-lap
pass through the roof deck to allow wiring connections to be made in the roof
space or attic. The sun warms the solar electric shingle providing a
bond that forms a weather-resistant covering. Suitable for roof pitches
between 3:12 and 21:12. UL Listed.

Note that the higher cost per
watt of these shingles as compared with traditional PV modules is offset by
several factors including: no supporting structures required, replaces the
cost of asphalt shingles, virtually unbreakable. In addition, this
thin-film technology is less affected by high temperature than crystalline
solar products resulting in up to 20% more delivered energy.
Installation must be performed in accordance
with the National Electrical Code. Systems with a 2500 watt inverter use
up to 152 shingles at 475 volts dc. Systems with a 3800 watt inverter
use up to 220 shingles at 600 volts dc. When installing these shingles on
an attic roof a pair of Panduit type PD6 raceways is normally mounted under
the roof deck in the attic and connections are made from each shingle through
a 1/2" nipple. A combiner box with individual fuses along with a dc
disconnect is also mounted in the attic. Multiple raceways if required
are connected together using 1/2" flexible conduit.
