It can be difficult to  select the right BIPV  system for your business, but it is  necessary  to choose wisely. To start, consider where you want the system to  go. Do you have a flat roof or are  you considering windows? Flat  roofs work well for solar panels, windows can aid in design and bring light inside.  Next, consider how much power your business consumes. If you consume a lot  of energy,  you will need a system that produces more power. Also be sure to see how much sunlight your location receives. It may not be as effective if your building is in a shady spot.

Now, the materials. Some BIPV systems take the form of glass with solar  cells embedded inside that can look really nice. Others could include conventional solar panels  that look like part of the roof. We carry variety of styles and material that you can use to  fit your needs at Top Energy. Also, think about your budget.  BIPV systems may cost more than traditional solar panels, but  they can end up saving you money. You ought to  consider how long it will take for the savings to outweigh  the costs. Finally, and it’s an intelligent idea to consult with professionals. That way, they can assist  you  on the installation and  make sure everything is in  working order. At Top Energy, we have staff on hand to help you  through the process  and make sure you choose the system that is right for your business. For example, our TE-A – Stone Coated Metal Solar Tile is a great option if you're considering a stylish roof solution.

How to Choose the Right Building Integrated Photovoltaic System for Your Business?

Some common  frustrations However, there are a number of typical problems BIPV system buyers encounter. One  big problem is the cost. BIPV  systems can  be pricier than traditional solar panels though, and the increased cost can cause some buyers to hesitate. They’re  anxious about the potentially  high up-front costs and whether they’ll actually save in the long run. Another issue is installation. BIPV systems must be properly installed to perform effectively, and it  can sometimes be difficult  to ascertain just whose expertise in installing them you  might need. When not installed correctly it can result in leaks or other issues. Additionally, utilizing Solar Panel Mounts for Stone Coated Metal Tiles can help ensure effective installation.

Yet one big  question is how much power such a system would generate. Some buyers may believe  they will save more than  they  actually  will. You should adjust your expectations for energy savings  accordingly. And, of course, there can be maintenance issues. BIPV systems are constructed for  durability, yet they also require attention. Without proper upkeep  they will not  run as well as they’re supposed to. Finally, there may be problems with building codes and ordinances for buyers.  Cities have their own rules for how to install solar technology, and these can prove difficult  for homeowners to navigate. At Top Energy, we are here to try and demystify these technical intricacies for our customers – and lend a helping hand. We want to do everything we can so that your experience using BIPV is simple and fruitful.
