St. John’s may not be known for its sunny weather, but that doesn’t mean you can’t harness the power of the sun with solar panels. In fact, even on cloudy days, solar panels can still generate electricity from diffused sunlight.
A solar roof or rooftop photovoltaic (PV) system is a setup where electricity-generating solar panels are mounted on the roof, utilizing the prime exposure of the rooftop to sunlight and creating one of the most environmentally friendly roofs possible.
Building Rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems represents a pivotal technology in this transition. By harnessing solar energy through photovoltaic cells, these systems provide a decentralized and renewable energy source.
