Our ZEDpower Ltd UK team is working on innovation in Building Integrated Photovoltaic's - to deliver quality and beauty! Stephen "Steph" Groce Mailon Rivera Najah Roberts Pilialoha Kilohana Jay Corrales Melissa Elder, PE
The ZED team were early adopters of Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) systems. We know better than most about their design and their limitations, it is for this reason that the ZED team have spent the past decade perfecting a best in class product that can be used on walls or roofs. The ZEDRoof only uses: Double glass laminate solar panels - which have the longest known service life of any type of panel. Aluminium for the framing system. Aluminium for all the flashings. Pure silicone for the gaskets. Stainless steel fixings throughout By using double glass laminate panels the ZEDRoof can have opaque or translucent panels which means solar atriums and solar loft rooms become possible. The ZEDRoof framing system can have opening sky lights, double glazed units, heat pump panels, windows and doors all fitted straight into the frame making total over cladding a reality opening up new possibilities in retrofitting. The team are currently onsite building a 250kw solar barn as a Showcase project in West Sussex. We hope you can come and visit when it is finished.

What does innovation in utilising Building Integrated Photovoltaics’ (BIPV) in architecture look like? Some images from The C4GS - ZED Life San Diego Scheme the unique solar framing system uses double glass laminate panels for the longest possible life cycle. It can use opaque and translucent panels creating solar atriums. The system can also incorporate sky lights, openers, windows, doors and even a heat pump panel so the roof fabric provides surplus electricity as well as surplus heating and hot water (or cooling in warmer climates). As an early adopter of BIPV the ZED team know better than most of potential long-term problems and have spent the last decade designing them out to develop the ZED Roof product. ___________________________________________________________________________________ We are gearing up for wider commercialisation and Zed Power are always appraising meaningful collaborations across the globe - drop me a message if you or your organisation can be part of the story.

Rather than simply assigning blame, let's work together to find solutions for the problems we've inherited and those we're creating for future generations.
We must co-create the future in tandem with ALL people and ages. Today - we live at a time calling for training a new generation to use their imagination and skills. Skills needed to address the global housing and climate crises. Our common sense knows best: introduce our young adults and youth to technical skill development and get them critical thinking, innovative and job ready... ...Educational research backs up our common sense, showing technical skill development is tantamount to the development of skills missing in our society today: People who are confident, inspired, capable and connected to their community - are resilient and at peace with the world around them. Want to start a ZEDlife Studio learn, design and build program with us?
