The flexible thin-film solar cell shingle blends into a roofing pattern of traditional asphalt shingles. 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. Lead wires on backside of the head-lap pass through the roof deck to allow wiring connections to be made in the roof space.

• Appearance: The surface is textured to blend and complement the granular surface of the surrounding conventional shingles.
• Shingle Size: 86.4" x 12"
• Exposure: 5" (12 - 7" tabs per shingle).
• Electrical connections: Two, 12" long, 18-guage lead wires exiting from underside of each shingle.
• Installation: Nailed in place using common roofing nails on conventional roof decking over 30-lb. felt underlayment. Applied in consecutive overlapping layers. Lead wires on back side of the head-lap pass through the roof deck to allow wiring connections to be made in the roof space.
• Seal: Sun warms the solar electric shingle providing a bond that forms a weather-resistant roof covering.
• Wind Load: Independently tested up to 60 mph.
• Weight: 140 lbs/sq.
• Array: Size dependent on power demands. (See table below).
• System: Typical systems range from 1 kW to 4 kW.
