SOLAR PANEL GUIDE

Three product categories are enough to start.

For a building owner, the useful distinction is not a long list of cell technologies. Start with how the product is built and how it relates to the building.

01

Conventional glass modules

Includes common single-glass framed and double-glass modules. Mature, widely available and usually the economical starting point when the roof can accept the weight and mounting system.

02

Lightweight modules

Building-roof products that reduce glass or use lighter encapsulation structures. Useful where added load, roof age or intrusive mounting is a concern—subject to roof and fixing verification.

03

BIPV solar building materials

Products that generate electricity while also performing a building function, such as waterproof roofing, canopy cover or façade enclosure.

The right question is not “Which panel is best?”

Ask which category fits the roof, structure, waterproofing requirement, installation method and project objective. Product efficiency alone does not answer that.

Check which direction may suit your roof.

The quick roof check takes about one minute.
