Photovoltaic Roofing Solutions
From Federal tax credits of 30% to state and local government initiatives and local utility company rebates and programs, there are
numerous ways to significantly reduce the cost of a photovoltaic system.
Photovoltaic cells are made of special materials called semiconductors such as silicon, which is currently used most commonly.
Basically, when light strikes the cell, a certain portion of it is absorbed within the semiconductor material...
Photovoltaic technology has been around since the late 1950’s, when it was used to provide electric power for earth-orbiting satellites.
Photovoltaic (PV) or solar cells are semiconductor devices that convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. When grouped
together and electrically configured into modules, they can be used to power any number of electrical loads. Today, PV modules are
being used as a power system for both residential and commercial uses and are rapidly be installed with roof systems on buildings
as well as being interconnected to utility networks.
Installing photovoltaic systems can not only reduce your overall utility costs,
but may offer economic opportunities such as state rebates or Federal tax incentives. RAMCON provides the ability for nearly all of
our roofs to be installed with photovoltaic systems, which allow the roof area to be used to produce reliable, affordable “green”
power for businesses, schools, hospitals, and federal agencies.
