For the Beauty of the Earth: Solutions to NET ZERO ENERGY 

Introduction of the building integrated solar technologies that to be attractive, powerful and versatile. Instead of putting regular solar panel on the roof or in the yard, it is the weather skin of the building, like roof tiles, canopies, skylight, and facades. The quality are usually better and as the weather skin of the buildings, they are well protected. In additional, one could apply and build using solar as one could imagine in making an iconic project. Sun is a very powerful source of energy. Building Integrated Photovoltaic Thermal(BIPVT)could optimize the capturing of the sun’s energy in getting a much higher solar conversion efficiency than regular panel along. As to versatility, one could obtain matching color to suite one’s aesthetic. To achieve NET ZERO ENERGY could be simple and eventually more cost effective. BIPVT applications on transportations and Greenhouse are included.
