How Solar Roofing Works
1. Solar Panel or Solar Shingle Absorption
2. Conversion of Sunlight to Electricity
3. Powering the Home
4. Net Metering (If Connected to the Grid)
5. Battery Storage (Optional)
Types of Solar Roofing
- Solar roofing systems use photovoltaic (PV) cells to capture sunlight.
- These PV cells are made of semiconductor materials (like silicon) that generate electricity when exposed to sunlight.
2. Conversion of Sunlight to Electricity
- When sunlight hits the PV cells, it creates direct current (DC) electricity.
- Most homes and buildings use alternating current (AC) electricity, so an inverter is required to convert DC to AC.
3. Powering the Home
- The AC electricity is used to power your home’s appliances, lighting, and other electrical devices.
- If your solar roof generates more power than needed, it can be stored in a battery system (if installed) or sent back to the electrical grid.
4. Net Metering (If Connected to the Grid)
- Many solar roofing systems are tied to the local power grid.
- Excess electricity sent to the grid may earn credits on your electricity bill through a system called net metering.
5. Battery Storage (Optional)
- Some homeowners install solar batteries (e.g., Tesla Powerwall) to store extra energy for nighttime use or power outages.
- This increases energy independence and resilience.
Types of Solar Roofing
- Solar Panels on Roofs: Traditional PV panels mounted on the existing roof.
- Solar Shingles: Photovoltaic shingles that replace traditional roofing materials while generating electricity.
