PV Solar Planet Becomes an EnergyPeak Solar Standing Seam Roofing Provider

(Denver, Colorado) PV Solar Planet announces the release of the Sunseeker 68/136, a new Building-Integrated Solar Electric Generator. This new product uses EnergyPeak technology and standards to create a best-of-breed solar roofing product that is affordable and suitable for virtually any roofing project, both new and retrofit.

The foundation of PV Solar Planet’s impressive energy generating capability is United Solar Ovonic’s UNI-SOLAR® state-of-the-art thin-film solar laminate, a lightweight and highly flexible material that integrates onto the surface of PV Solar Planet’s Sunseeker standing-seam metal roofing panels. When exposed to sunlight, these solar laminates produce electricity, even in high temperatures and cloudy environments. Electricity generated by the laminates is fed back through the electrical meter into the power grid.

This enhanced efficiency of the Sunseeker 68/136 Solar Electric Generator, combined with ever increasing government incentives, tax rebates and renewable energy credits, promises lower initial cost and impressive returns on investment (ROI). PV Solar Planet’s Sunseeker 68/136 Building-Integrated Solar Electric Generator comes with a 20-year warranty.

EnergyPeak is an organization founded in 2007 through CENTRIA Services Group to standardize and integrate, on behalf of the standing seam roofing industry, best-of-breed solar technology with standing seam metal roofing.

“As an EnergyPeak provider, PV Solar Planet demonstrates commitment to not only offering the latest in sustainable technology, but also to the environment we live in,” explains Rick Mowery, President, CENTRIA Services Group. “With the rise in energy costs and environmental concern, we sensed a need for quality, affordable solar options that fit well with proven standing seam platform. EnergyPeak will help us accomplish this.”

PV Solar Planet offers a Return On Investment (ROI) calculator that provides architects and building owners with a complete analysis of the proposed solar energy system. Using numerous variables, including up to date rebates and incentives, the ROI software predicts system power output and return on investment, both financially and in years.
