We have seen everything from concepts of Solar Powered ships to placing a huge amount of solar panels on warehouse rooftops. Well designers don’t want to stop there. This time Solar PV developers are concentrating on solar panel windows which are transparent and can go on the side of any building. The windows can generate anywhere from 80-250 watts each, depending on the size and you an cover the entire side of a building without having to worry about not being able to have a view.

First we saw the Vatican install hundreds of solar panels on its rooftop and now another church in California has done the same. They installed a total of 150 solar panels which will generate 34,000 kWh each year, and will save the church between $900 and $1200 every month. Not only did they install the panels though, they are now educating the children in the churches school on solar energy. Also according to the Pastor he says that in the future they hope to double or even triple the solar capacity that it currently has.

Just recently we showed you a recent project which involved the installation Solar Panels on the top of companies warehouse roof tops. Well other flat roofed places are also doing the same and the latest one is the panels that have just finished being installed at the Vatican. They installed a total of 2,400 panels on the Paul VI Auditorium roof which is reported to generate 300 kilowatt per hour.

I’ve never really thought about this but the top of warehouse roofs are completely flat and they are pretty big as well. Well Southern California Edison saw this and took advantage of all that free space by installing Solar Panels across their roofs. They are planning to install these panels across 150 rooftops and one rooftop has been completed so only 149 more to go. Once all of the rooftops are done they will produce a combined peak capacity of 250 megawatts so the space is very nicely used.
