Photovoltaic Roofing

A Photovoltaic System uses solar cells to convert light into electricity. It consists of multiple components, including cells, mechanical and electrical connections and mountings and a means of regulating and/or modifying the electrical output. These systems can power the building they cover and often are able to put electricity back into the grid.

The technology is in constant evolution, with new self-adhered versions recently entering the market.
