The Danish Energy Agency will launch a DKK8.3m (US$27 million), three-year pilot to determine the efficacy of glueing solar modules directly to rooftop insulation layers. The PV Rock Roof initiative, running from October 2019 to October 2022, will use weather-proof modules manufactured by Dansk Solenergi and will assess the use of translucent coloured layers, as well as various approaches to the cost-effective thermal insulation of large roof areas. The PV industry is also exploring covering whole buildings in solar skins to reduce electricity demand on the grid.
