HOW IT WORKS
How integrated solar roofing works
BIPV is a 2-in-1 product that functions as both a durable metal roof and a high-output solar array. The solar components are integrated directly into the panels for a seamless look that eliminates the need for traditional racking. The installation is similar to a standard metal roof, with the electrical components tying directly into your building’s power system.
WHY BIPV
Let your roof become an asset
Shift BIPV gives you a sleek black metal roof that generates electricity and pays for itself over time. Your roof becomes both protection and a revenue source for your business.
