Solar PV, which was booming in 2011 and has suffered in 2012, is quickly reinventing itself by becoming more ingenuous, claims Cernunnos Homes. Building Integrated PV (BIPV) is fast becoming a more economical and aesthetic way to install solar PV into buildings and other structures, it states.<br> <br> Cernunnos says that the simplest type of BIPV is the PV Slate Roof Tile which replaces typical slate tiles and blends in with the roof.<br> <br> There are also solar greenhouses, which replace the glass roof panes with transparent PV panes that allow through the correct type of light particles which can even enhance plant growth.<br> <br> Cernunnos Homes md Peter McKeown comments: "BIPV is a fast growth area. While costs are still relatively high, they have been falling and now make a lot of sense, especially for those worried about aesthetics or feasibility." <br>
