Grid-Connected Metal Roof Shade & Parking Structures
Grid-Connected Agricultural Metal Roof Structures
Residential Grid-Connected Systems
Schools, Municipalities & Institutions
Renovation or New Construction

UNI-SOLAR® Photovoltaic shingles serve as a conventional shingle for weather protection, while generating clean solar electricity to commercial and residential buildings.

These shingles have been honored with the prestigious Popular Science Grand Award, "Best of What's New (Environmental Technology)," and Discover magazine's "Technical Innovation Award" for best innovation (Environment).

(Right) Cass Technical High School utilizes a 2 kW solar shingle system funded by the Detroit Edison Foundation and the State of Michigan. This system not only provides electricity to power computers and lighting in the school, but also gives science and engineering students hands-on experience with a multi-kilowatt solar array. It is part of a fully accredited solar curriculum.

Combining solar innovation with award winning design, the flexible SHR assumes the pattern of traditional asphalt shingles. The new PV shingle enables roofs of residential or commercial buildings to become sources of electricity as well as protection from the elements. The PV shingle face is textured to blend and complement the granular surface of conventional surrounding shingles. Each shingle is 12 inches (30.48 cm) wide by 86.5 inches (219.71 cm) long and nailed in place on roof decking over 30 lb. felt sheeting. Electrical lead wires, #18AWG, extend 12 inches (30.48 cm) from underside of each shingle and pass through the roof deck allowing interior roof space connections. Once in place, the sun’s warmth helps bond shingles together forming a weather-resistant seal. Cell exposure 5.0 inches (12.7 cm) x 86.4 inches (219.46 cm). Array size depends on power demands.
