Swedish photovoltaic (PV) manufacturer Midsummer has partnered with metal roofing firm Clix Steel Profile to develop a cost-effective building-integrated solar roofing system, certified for pitches as steep as 5 degrees. The system is designed specifically for the construction of buildings in Sweden and can be installed on any roof that meets the requirements set by the Swedish Building Code or other building regulations. Forthcoming regulations in Europe and some US states require the mandatory installation of solar PV in new commercial and residential buildings.
