Abstract
A solar panel system includes a plurality of solar modules that produce DC electrical energy when exposed to sunlight. Each of the solar modules includes a frame, a photovoltaic panel mounted to the frame, and an electrical coupling for outputting the DC electrical energy from the photovoltaic panel. The solar modules are mounted to the deck of a roof having a ridge and a ridge vent extending at least partially along and covering the ridge of the roof. One or more micro-inverters is located beneath the ridge vent and each is electrically connected to a bank of two or more solar modules selected from the plurality of solar modules. The micro-inverters on the roof convert the DC electrical energy produced by the photovoltaic panels to AC electrical energy, and the AC electrical energy is aggregated from the micro-inverters and delivered to a remote electrical system.
