BIPV SYSTEM DESIGNED TO MEET ARCHITECTS’ NEEDS MOON TOWNSHIP Pa. — Ener, gyPeak’s pre-designed and system integrated building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) laminate technology for standing seam roofs is designed to make solar energy attainable for projects of all sizes. Beginning with seven system sizes, from 3 kW to 120 kW, EnergyPeak pre-designed each system, including auto-CAD drawings and system part numbers for electrical drawings. EnergyPeak’s ROI calculator reportedly allows architects to accurately predict numerous aspects of the BIPV system before it is installed. After receiving detailed project data, the ROI calculator determines expected power production and 25-year cash flow information.This COOL ROOF data is then combined with any available public and private incentives, renewable energy credits and depreciation to determine final ROI.Visit www.energypeak. com for more information.
