The popularity of residential solar power has resulted in the introduction of various new tools. One of the most important tools to be introduced recently is the residential solar shingles. These shingles include photovoltaic cells used to convert the sunlight into electricity.

These solar shingles are installed in a way that they stay connected to each other. They are further connected to an inverter which converts the generated DC voltage into AC voltage. The solar shingles can even be connected to a battery to store the extra power that can store the energy for later use.
