WisconSUN Case Study: The Lagerman-Mann Home: The article describes about energy systems. The Lagerman-Mann home exhibits the sustainable ethics and solar passion of its owners. Not only is the home very energy efficient, it also has four solar systems, including a photovoltaic PV system co-funded by WisconSUN. The solar systems include active and passive solar space...; Tags: Photovoltaics, WisconSun, PV System, Manufacturing; Case studies
WisconSUN Case Study: The Bircher Home: This case study describes about the Bircher home which is not only energy efficient but also uses renewable energy systems, and takes a very practical approach to solar energy. The solar energy systems did not cost a fortune (about $9,000), cover the entire roof, or meet 100% of Bircher family's...; Tags: Renewable Energy, Solar Energy, WisconSun, Bircher Home, Telecom & Utilities; Case studies
Consumer's Guide to Photovoltaic (PV) Systems: This paper summarizes the process of buying a grid-tied solar electric system. A PV system will never run out of fuel and it won't increase energy imports. It will also create jobs in Wisconsin and reduce the economic impacts caused by sudden increases in the cost of fossil fuels. A...; Tags: Photovoltaics, WisconSun, Manufacturing; White papers 2003-07-18
Photovoltaic (PV) Roofing Products - Are They Reliable?: This document focuses on Wisconsin Solar Use Network WisconSUN, which promotes the mainstream use of photovoltaic PV systems. By mainstream, we mean PV located in an urban environment, where land is expensive, and PV systems must be aesthetically pleasing. The pre-1997 UniSolar modules used two, three-layer cells of PV material...; Tags: Photovoltaics, WisconSun, UniSolar Triple-junction Module, Manufacturing; White papers 2003-04-14
Options for Integrating PV Into Your Building: Building integrated photovoltaic BIPV systems are both electric generating systems and part of the building shell. Examples of BIPV systems are roofing, atriums, and shade screens that integrate PV modules into their design. Besides generating electricity, integrated BIPV systems can also enhance a building's beauty, visibility, and prestige. This document...; Tags: Photovoltaics, WisconSun, Manufacturing; White papers 2003-02-07

Introduction to Photovoltaic Energy Systems: Most of Wisconsin's power is generated by coal-fired (70%), nuclear (23%) and, increasingly, natural gas fired power plants. These energy resources are finite. Solar energy is clean and abundant, and can meet Wisconsin's growing demand for energy. Photovoltaic energy systems (sometimes referred to as "solar power") are devices that use...; Tags: Wisconsin, Solar Energy, Photovoltaics, WisconSun, Energy System, Manufacturing, Telecom & Utilities; White papers
