OUR IP- HOW IS WATERSHED DIFFERENT?
Here’s how we offer a very special product, aesthetic and practical, without a huge bump in system cost.
When the solar acts as part of the facade, we call it “BIPV”, or “Building Integrated Photovoltaic”. BIPV is the gold standard for attractive solar installations. When done right, they can eliminate other costs by reducing the need for standard cladding, and sometimes structural components. NOT ALL BIPV SYSTEMS ACHIEVE THIS FINAL GOAL- OUR SYSTEM BEATS THE OTHERS HANDS DOWN IN THIS AREA.
Other BIPV manufacturers struggle at early stages with low volume and are crippled by pour economies of scale. Our system uses standard solar modules manufactured by the millions in order to side-step this business roadblock.
ABOUT US
Our Vision and Experience
