This video shows the installation of PV solar panels on a roof as explained by Steve Heckeroth of the company Energy Conversion Devices. He explains the benefits of the solar panels he uses versus more heavy and expensive panels. Steve also explains how electricity is generated through these panels through the pwer inverter.
Installing clean, reliable, inflation-proof solar power is easier than ever, thanks to the invention of thin-film photovoltaic (PV) … all » laminates that can be bonded directly onto metal roofing panels. Unlike crystalline PV material, there’s no need for obtrusive racks and heavy, expensive glass. Instead, unbreakable thin-film PV is produced using amorphous silicon, encapsulated in Teflon and other polymers.
