The Problem

Current Status Quo of Residential solar-PV in
North America – Aluminum Racking Systems:

  • Provide nesting sites for birds and rodents,
  • Must be removed/reinstalled for re-shingling, and
  • Its low-profile blends into roofing for improved aesthetics.

The Solution: CHE BIPV

In contrast, the CHE Building-integrated PV system:

  • Eliminates nesting sites by sitting flush to the roof,
  • Is not removed to replace shingles, and
  • Its low-profile blends into roofing for improved aesthetics.
