This application actually expands technological potential of PV systems even further, because in buildings, they can play more roles than solely producing electricity. Besides generating electricity integrated BIPV systems can also enhance a building&rsquo;s beauty, visibility, and prestige. There are several ways to integrate PV into a building&rsquo;s design :</font><span style="font-family: Symbol"> </span><font face="Times New Roman">Roofing, Facades, Atriums, and Shade screens</font></font><font face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 10pt">.</span><font size="3"> PV shade screens provide a large area for generating electricity and also reduce solar heating in the summer, which cuts cooling loads and glare. Shade screens cost less than other BIPV systems because extra ventilation of the PV modules is not needed. They can be retrofitted onto existing buildings or integrated into a new building's design.<span style="font-size: 10pt"></span></font></font><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">It is also important to note that facades offer a large area for PV modules. Besides generating electricity PV facades must look appealing and protect the building from weather. They can be integrated with windows, daylighting, and shading schemes to provide multiple benefits. However, vertically oriented PV panels at the latitude angle from - 35 deg<span>&nbsp; </span>to 35 deg. have much reduced electricity output compared to panels sloped toward the sun. The reduction is greatest in the summer when the sun is high in the sky; this is also when electricity is most valuable. To overcome this problem, facades can be sloped using a saw tooth design.<span style="font-size: 10pt"></span></font></font>

<p>The news about SUNTECH is a highly encouraging one. Am glad to read about thier great achievements and I wish them more progress.</p><p>However, these news will not have reached the world without your highly informative website.I encourage you to continue in your good works.&nbsp;I have been in renewable business for the past 12 years in Nigeria. Just within 14days I got to know your wesite through my&nbsp;Spanish friend I have gathered so much informaionas if I have known you for past 2years.</p><p>My&nbsp;country Nigeria suddenly woke up from a deep slumber to&nbsp;policies that will see renewable energy playing greater role in&nbsp;our economy in the next 10 to 15years.&nbsp;Am glad to be among the pioneers in the sector in Nigeria. Information obtained from your website news will be of immence help to me towards advicing my government through Nigerian Energy Commission.</p><p>Am glad to know your website and will introduce it to some other coporate friends of mine.But I will also expect to&nbsp;read news about renewable energy growth in Africa.</p><p>Thank you</p><p>Udemba Hyacinth</p><p>Nigeria West Africa</p>
