Welcome

Hello and welcome to my blog.

The purpose of this blog is to help share some ideas, and get some feedback for my applied research project. I am trying to find out if incorporating PV Panels onto the facade of high rise buildings would be a practical idea, and also part of a solution to creating more sustainable buildings.

I am really excited about this project and look forward to hearing any and all of your observations. I would also like to invite any feedback from others outside of the Thompson Rivers University ARET program.

Cheers,

Samantha :)

  1. Hi Sam, I was trying to send you the pdf specs on those bifacial panels. Apparently I can not attach the file so here is the site and let me know your email and I will forward the pdf.

  3. Hi Samantha,
    This is a very interesting concept that you have come up with. With increases in energy demand more practical energy alternatives must be presented and this is exactly what you appear to be working on. It will be interesting to see whether this is currently economically viable or not. If you are looking for more sources you might try looking at the Solar Energy Council in California as they have a few links and contacts on the manufacturing and installation end of things that may be useful. There website is www.solarenergycouncil.org . Hope this helps you.
