A new concept in solar power, photovoltaic shingles, can help protect your home from the elements while generating pollution-free electricity.Wires from the photovoltaic cells on each shingle connect to a junction box. The current is sent to a battery for storage, and an inverter converts it to AC power. You can operate everything from a home computer to a security system with the electricity generated by these shingles.

Joe Kreis from MJ Cordaro Electric Company explains the installation of a Leviton structured wire system. The system is designed to seamlessly allow the transmission of data, phone, and cable signals within the home. The home was pre-wired at the Simplex factory to plug into a central control panel once the modular pieces were assembled. Each bundle of wires runs from the individual room�s networking box directly to the home�s central system with no splits or connections.
