There’s Always The Sun

The Invisible Solar Revolution: Why Traditional Panels Are Losing Ground

Solar is no longer an afterthought — but traditional panels still look like one.

As the pressure to meet sustainability goals rises, architects and builders face a critical challenge: how to integrate clean energy without compromising design.

Traditional bolt-on panels are bulky, disruptive, and increasingly outdated. That’s why innovative building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) — solar in the roof, not on it — are reshaping how we think about architecture.

Join this free CPD session to discover how standing seam solar metal roofs offer a seamless, compliant, and future-ready solution.

What You’ll Learn

  • The key differences between BIPV and traditional PV systems
  • Design and installation workflows for standing seam solar roofing
  • How integrated solar meets energy and fire safety requirements under UK building regulations (Approved Documents B & L, CDM 2015, Building Safety Act)
  • Performance benchmarks, expected lifespan, and warranty structure
  • Ideal use cases: heritage buildings, new residential, and contemporary architecture

How It Works
