UNI-SOLAR Solar Shingles SHR-17

Triple Junction Technology

The foundation of the new UNI-SOLAR Solar Shingle SHR-17 is the Triple Junction silicon solar cell unique to UNI-SOLAR . Each cell is composed of three semiconductor junctions stacked on top of each other. The bottom cell absorbs the red light, the middle cell absorbs the green light and the top cell absorbs the blue light. This spectrum splitting capability is the key to higher efficiency.

• UL rated to withstand 80 mph wind loads
• No support structures needed
• UL Listed as prepared roofing
• Wind and water tight roof
• Suitable both for renovation and for new construction
• Direct nailing on wood decks with fire-resistant underlayment
• No back-ventilation of solar shingles necessary

Product Description and Application
Each SHR-17 Solar Shingle (photovoltaic shingle) utilizes the proprietary Triple Junction solar cells manufactured by UNI-SOLAR. These cells are made in a roll-to-roll deposition process on a continuous roll of stainless steel. The result is a unique, flexible, lightweight, solar cell. The UNI-SOLAR PV Shingles are encapsulated in UV stabilized polymers making them exceptionally durable. Bypass diodes are connected across each cell, allowing the modules to produce
power even when partially shaded. The Solar Shingle will replace the conventional shingle. The solar shingles are UL Listed both as an electricity generator and as a prepared roofing cover. Each solar shingle has a pair of wires coming off the back of the solar shingle that will be fed through the roof deck for wiring inside the attic. The solar shingle wires can be “shorted” during installation. The wires from adjacent solar shingles are connected together using moisture resistant butt splices (supplied with the System). The wires are rated for 600 volts maximum. The wires are mounted over a fire resistant underlayment (ex. Elk® Versa Shield).

Application Criterion
• Mount 35 inches up from the eave (to ensure adequate wiring space below the roof deck)
• Install Versa Shield Underlayment directly on wood decking
• Extend Versa Shield Underlayment 12” around entire perimeter of the array
• Installed per manufacturer’s Instructions
• Wood deck repairs must be completed before installation
