What is a photovoltaic solar panel?

Photovoltaics, more commonly known as solar panels, are one of the purest and most reliable methods for producing renewable energy. Each panel is composed of photovoltaic cells, which activate when exposed to the sun, absorbing its rays and converting them into clean electricity.

Are solar glazed structures a good choice?

Solar’s glazed structures are constructed from durable aluminum framework and the HVHZ certifications speak to the strength engineered into every structure solar produces. Though preferential in many commercial applications, an all-aluminum structure is not always ideal for a residence.

Are solar roofs a good option for low-density homes?

Lower-density homes with solar roofs are not a new phenomenon; however, recent technological advances give builders and architects the option of adopting green initiatives without compromising a home’s design. Solar Roof systems come in a range of UV-stable, fade-resistant colors and patterns in keeping with design needs.

Are building-integrated photovoltaics a viable alternative to solar energy harvesting?

Historically, solar energy harvesting has been expensive, relatively inefficient, and hampered by poor design. Existing building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) have proven to be less practical and economically unfeasible for large-scale adoption due to design limitations and poor aesthetics.

Does a glazed sunroom add value?

In addition, the addition of a glazed structure adds to the property value. Residential sunrooms can be designed as small additions or large, free standing structures. All dimensions, shape, materials, and configurations are custom designed for each project.

Do solar roofs need a specialized installation?

Solar Roof systems come in a range of UV-stable, fade-resistant colors and patterns in keeping with design needs. Helpfully, no specialized installation is required, and once installed, their elements require no maintenance because they are treated with an anti-soiling coating that reduces the accumulation of dust and dirt on surfaces.
