Colored Solar Experts

MARKET DRIVERS

Solar cell efficiency is increasing, cost is decreasing, and government incentives are making adoption of solar PV more attractive. However, there is still a resistance to installing standard PV panels where they cause a visible blight to architectural or historic elements.

Colored Solar's™ products eliminate this barrier to adoption by offering colored and stylized custom solar installations, and products that blend with and accent the architectural elements of buildings and historic places.

Colored Solar™ is 100% American owned and operated company who offers colored Stylish Solar Panels™ that:

• Compliment architectural aesthetics.
• Are equally efficient and cost competitive to other premium bankable black panels.
• Can be mounted in and color matched to architectural features such as awnings, railings, sculptures, and roofing systems
• Façades of the envelope of the building.

Our patent pending high efficient PV mono/polycrystalline panels are designed and engineered to look better than black solar panels while performing equally well based on validated testing done at the US Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

Market Drivers.

With an exponential estimated growth in the PV industry, Stylish Solar Panels™ are positioned for incredible growth in sales, and market acceptance. Our general target market is hot, sun-drenched climates like California, Arizona, Hawaii, Texas, Nevada, New Mexico, and Florida. California is the largest grid connected United States market.

Despite the difficult market environment (President Biden - BUILD BACK BETTER AMERICA) for the solar industry as a whole, the opportunity for both building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), and building-applied photovoltaics (BAPV) looks extremely promising. BIPV is set to become one of the fastest-growing segments in the solar industry.

Until recently, aesthetic and performance concerns greatly limited the ability of architects to use BIPV/BAPV technology in their building designs Teslas attempt at the solar roof, or Tesla November 2022 paused solar roof installations with the end of solar roof product. However, Tesla December 2022 $400,000 Solar Roof, unrealistic. With these features, BIPV will no longer be confined to spandrel or overhead applications. Rather, the entire building envelope will be able to put it to use, allowing the structure to produce its own power and feed additional power into the grid system.

The United States has enormous, long-term growth potential for sustainable PV.

The United States is home to an excellent photovoltaic resource. While the Southwest provides the highest insolation, or exposure to the sun’s rays, even northeastern states offer insolation that is, at a minimum, equal to or greater than the resources of Germany, who has invested more per capita than the US.

Though there is ample availability of land for PV development, particularly in the Southwest, the urban and suburban areas represent a still largely untapped distributed expanse of independent power-producing surface area that is already connected to the grid. Increasing utilization of available urban surfaces will increase the need for PV independence that can address the aesthetic considerations of these areas. Colored Solar™ specializes in delivering innovative applications of colored Stylish Solar Panels™, Architectural Accents™, and built-in solutions.
