I had previously added a link to a global directory of installers around the world ( http://www.enf.cn/database/installers.html) - since people looking up information on solar roofs / BIPV may be interested in finding local companies to offer such a product to them. The information was taken down by someone who hadn't actually reviewed the validity of the information but was deleting based on the fact that I posted up several links to ENF.
On the suggestion of one of person that removed the information, I am submitting suggested comments/links here in the hope that other editors will evaluate the relevance and resubmit it to the main page:

I have removed this section as I believe it was almost completely irrelevant to the article in addition to being very US and especially California-specific, and not very well written. The only relevant part was a mention of solar shingles which appears earlier in the article. The section went into too much detail describing solar energy setups that can be found in more relevant articles. Also examples of residential solar programs did not appear to building-integrated. Placing PV modules on existing roofs doesn't qualify as BIPV. I am planning more minor edits to the rest of the article to clarify the idea of BIPV. JKRS ONE 04:24, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
In that case my apologies for mis-understanding the situation, and happy editing. Lithron 04:44, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
BIPV for houses should be added. After all, it was residential applications that were the first targeted application for BIPV. A section should be devoted to residential applications for BIPV starting with Uni-Solar's residential shingle, SunPower's residential product and now Dow's residential shingle.

Just resumed editing this page after a long break. Mostly minor edits so far. Added a few citations, reworded/added some missing letters. Also removed a picture I didn't feel was a good example, as well as a link that was added under references that seemed like an advertisement. I'm still not really pleased with the article overall. It is still missing several citations. Hopefully soon I will combine the second paragraph with the third section which needs to be retitled. I need to find a source that lists different forms of BIPV. Mentioning which companies manufacture these elements is not necessary. JKRS ONE ( talk) 01:54, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
I noticed multiple neutrality issues in this article and try to correct them. See below.
This article reads as one long sales pitch from a BIPV manufacturer. A tell tale sign is the inclusion of an advantages section but the lack of a list of disadvantages. It needs urgent clean-up for it contains many unsubstantiated claims (and hollow imagery):
The entire section Advantages is biassed and full of hollow PR-talk:
In the Forms section is a list of presumably available types of BIPV's but not verifiable due to a lack of sources given.
The Photovoltaic roof tiles and shingles section is in part superfluous -its already mentioned in Forms section- and part advertisement.

What about the Incentives section? I get the impression that the incentives mentioned are more to do with promoting solar power production, than that they are incentives for using integrated solutions specifically? SavannahD ( talk) 12:34, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
I made numerous edits to this page with appropriate references based on specific industry knowledge. All of my changes were rolled back by Jojalozzo. Why? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fotonical ( talk • contribs) 16:52, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
Newcastle Polytechnic may be worth adding here. They had one of the first building-integrated systems in the UK, some time around 1990. Sponsored heavily by BP. Andy Dingley ( talk) 11:28, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on

The original contribution on Patrina Eiffert that explained her role in this products adoption should be restored, with possibly more research to support it, but should not have been rolled back on May 6, 2011, as is currently posted in this article, because its inclusion is now virtually meaningless. Apparently, the editor who is still on Wikipedia did not understand what was written to such an extent that they substantially reduced the entry and its significance to what they could grasp intellectually - which at this juncture makes almost no sense because it was so truncated by him that what it purports now is only conjecture... At some point this earlier contribution should be restored and embellished to possibly include the roles of others and other organizations that were part of the promotion of this technologically significant innovation...
