Building integrated solar systems are those that are built into the fabric of the building. These systems are somewhat more expensive to install, can often be difficult to retrofit but are often considered more aesthetically pleasing.
Roof Integrated Solar Tiles
Solar tiles integrate into the fabric of the roof. Flush mounting, these tiles offer the most aesthetically pleasing choice for domestic settings.
Excellent choice for new builds and can be retrofitted to existing buildings.
Integrated Solar Glazing
PV glazing modules add architectural accents to a building while generating clean power. PV glazing modules can be integrated into a building as non-view windows, skylights, greenhouse windows, curtain walls, facades, etc.
PV glazing is semitransparent—thus it is not used where view glass is required. However, skylight and greenhouse glazing is commonly heavily tinted or patterned to minimize heat gain and control glare. In these instances semitransparent PV glazing is an option.
