Cost Performance

On average around the world, sunlight delivers a barrel of oil of energy on every square meter of land every year. At $100 a barrel, a 100m2 roof is receiving $10,000/yr of energy - a quarter of a million dollars over 25 years. With photovoltaic systems we can convert up to 20% of this raw energy directly into electricity. Unlike traditional power sources whose economics depends on the ever changing price of fuel, solar energy systems come with a 25 year guaranteed free fuel supply direct from the Sun. While electricity prices are increasing all around the world, once you have invested in a solar system you will have little or no additional costs to pay.

Our building integrated (BIPV) modules are unique building materials that generate revenue. When compared to other high quality glazing and cladding materials, a BIPV system is extremely reasonable. Many other glazing options can be comparable in cost, while materials such as granite and marble are more expensive (and produce no income stream!).

The exact costs of a solar energy system will vary from system to system, but the factors to consider are:
