FAQs: Solar-Ready Building Envelopes

Q: How does tropical weather affect PV curtain walls?

A: Our systems use anti-reflective glass and corrosion-resistant frames rated for 150 km/h winds and 95% humidity.

Q: What maintenance is required?

A: Bi-annual cleaning and annual electrical checks – far simpler than traditional HVAC maintenance routines.

Q: Can older buildings be retrofitted?

A: Yes! We’ve successfully upgraded 15+ heritage structures in West Africa using lightweight composite materials.
