•Distributed Energy Source
–Roof Retrofits–BIPV– Tiles, Shingles–Facades–Parking and Sound Barriers
•Centralized PV•PV Systems for Transportation
–Cars, Boats, and Bikes
Photovoltaic Cells as
Distributed Energy Source
•Located near the consumer in order toeliminate transmission losses (which canbe higher than 50% on some antiquatedgrids).•Panels can be placed on roofs, built intoroofs, building facades, carports,highway sound barriers, etc.•Any surface which is exposed to sunlightis fair game.
