Solar shingles are basically solar cells that convert the sun’s radiation into usable electricity, but also, they work as the roofing material for your home. These roofing solar cells are commonly shaped into shingles or tiles which are seamlessly arranged to provide structural support for the house roof and other types of buildings.

Rooftop solar panel systems make use of your home’s rafters to support the weight of the solar array. Roof mount systems are the standard choice for most home solar installations, as they are the most convenient and cost-effective option available.

Solar shingles, or solar roof tiles, are made of slim photovoltaic (PV) sheets that either overlay or replace the existing shingles on a roof. They absorb sunlight and convert it into electricity.
