SOLARGLASS SYSTEM OVERVIEW
A Solarglass roof functions in fundamentally the same way as traditional roof-mounted PV systems.
Sunlight is converted to DC electricity at each individual module. Each module is individually connected
to a diode in series “strings” of up to four modules side-by-side. The Diode Harness directs the collected
energy to a typical string inverter.
