Abstract: . . . February 2005 More recently the national grid has proved only 2530% efficient in providing us with energy from fossil fuels. Photovoltaics (PV) is an important energy technology for many reasons. As a solar energy technology, it has numerous environmental . . . . . . conventional grid-connected power. But, when considering environmental benefits and available grants and tax incentives, a PV roof system can be comparable to the cost of conventional gridconnected power.

As designers and builders of structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems in buildings, architectural engineers and constructors have a tremendous opportunity and responsibility to address . . . . . . strengthen the economy. As it costs increasingly less to produce and use, it becomes more affordable and available. And there are many more reasons, as we shall see. http://www.osti.gov/dublincore/gpo/servlets/purl/537 317-nWTC9G/webviewable/537317.pdf . . . . . . illustrates the relative suitability of commercial photovoltaic projects, by state, using price of electricity, amount of sunlight available, and government programs.
