Each PV shingle being installed on this roof will produce 17 watts under full sun, for a total system size of 1.2 kW. The shingles mount directly on to the roof structure and take the place of asphalt shingles. The whole PV system is connected to the utility grid through an inverter and produces electricity on customer's side of the meter.
Solar-electricity or photovoltaics (PV) convert sunlight directly into electricity. You may be more familiar with PV cells as solar cells that power watches and calculators. But PV can do much more. It can provide electricity for residential and commercial buildings, including power for lights and air conditioning. PV can also be a convenient source of power for pumping water, electrifying fences, or aerating ponds in remote applications.
