I occurred to run right into a rep for a big producer of roofing supplies earlier at the moment, which gave me the chance to ask him about building-integrated photovoltaics. (“It isn’t on the roof; it is the roof.”)
I informed him that I’ve been researching environmentally sustainable supplies for 15 years, and that I used to be dissatisfied that BIPV by no means took off.
He defined that the early expertise had defects in it, and that even at the moment, it’s dearer per Watt than the photo voltaic panels which can be mounted on our rooftops. That mentioned, the worth of BIPV is falling, and he considers it way more aesthetic than roof-mounted PV. He’s hopeful, and thus so am I.
