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Traditional bolt-on panels are bulky, disruptive, and increasingly outdated.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
