Photovoltaic Technology Metal Roong + Solar Arrays: The Perfect Combination

The Challenge: Well-known Fact: Americans are too dependent on oil and natural gas. We’re also the leading consumer of energy in the world, second only to China in carbon dioxide emissions, making us one of the largest polluters in the world. Our impact on the environment is detrimental. So, it’s time for Americans to step up to the plate, compete with European markets and become a leader in renewable energy. According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), more energy from the sun falls on the earth in one hour than is used by everyone in the world in one year. Solar cells, also...

The Solar Solutions: MBCI offers two types of PV systems for your building’s roof › Glass-Based Crystalline Silicon - The crystalline solution is a rigid module which can be installed on standing seam roofs using a non-penetrating clamp assembly. This option provides the highest energy conversion efciency at 13-18%, which is about 10 watts per square foot. The glass-based crystalline module weighs 3-4 pounds per square foot. The modules perform best during peak sunlight hours. F › lexible Thin Film - This lightweight option, approximately ¾ pound per square foot, is typically adhered to the metal...
