How Solar Electric Roofing Tiles Work
1. PV roof

Daylight hits the PV and is converted to clean electricity, even on cloudy days. There are no moving parts so this happens silently.

 

2. Inverter

The electricity generated by the roof is DC (direct current). An inverter makes it AC (alternating current), in sync with mains electricity so that it can be used normally.

 

3. Fuse box

The solar electricity is fed into the mains via your fuse box, for safety.

 

4. Meters

The PV roof generates electricity all day. Spare electricity automatically flows out to the grid and is sold back to your electricity supply company.

As an option you can fit an extra electricity meter that measures how much you export.

 
5. At night

At night, the PV does not produce any electricity. Instead, your mains power is automatically supplied from the grid.

Extra power is always available from the grid at times of high demand.
