Commercial Roof (BIPV)
BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaics)
With the rising price of electricity, businesses are looking more to rooftop solar as a way to lower their bills. However, the current solutions are still expensive and can even damage the roof. The basic solar module design has not changed in 50 years. While this design has worked for ground mounted systems, it is not the best choice for rooftops. Metal racked, glass based solar modules require penetrations, ballast and create heavy weight point loads. The result is shorter roof lifetime and increased service calls.
Our vision is to make every roof a solar roof. By creating a solar solution that works with the roof, requires no ballast or penetrations, Nanosolar is able to offer a more scalable solution. Fully integrated solutions, known as BIPV, are projected to be one of the fastest growing solar segments. At less than one pound per square foot and with utility class power densities, our innovative PV designs will drive down electricity costs and enable solar to reach more rooftops.
