Architecture must rise to meet the challenge, for the integration of photovoltaic systems with their hapticvisual qualities and materiality presents an inspiring new source of innovative design concepts. Intended for planners and architects, but also for the interested layman, this book outlines the huge variety of design of photovoltaic modules, showing realized buildings as examples.
