The architectural and constructional integration of PV into five dwellings in Leiden, the Netherlands, can be called successful. Originally, the houses were equipped with custom made solar thermal collectors covering the full south slope of the roof. After 18 years of operation, technical problems made a renovation necessary. The occupants now are the proud owners of a PV roof. The project revealed many of the architectural, constructional and financial aspects of solar renovation. [Copyright: Riesjard Schropp]

De Kleine Aarde in Boxtel, the Netherlands. This environmental education centre features a glass corridor with integrated PV. The solar modules combine two functions in one element: the production of electricity and shading, making this PV application attractive for many atria and sunspaces in large office buildings.
