The current product we're looking at seems very low on efficiency due to the density of the solar cells on the shading surface. Can you suggest a product you've worked with and consider worth recommending?<BR><BR>Any opinions/experiences on using products ready for use Vs custom designing such a system?<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR><BR>Ramana Koti, LEED AP<BR>Sustainable Building Analyst<BR><BR>ELEMENTS division of BNIM architects<BR>106 W. 14th Street Suite 200<BR>Kansas City, Missouri 64105<BR><BR>p 816.783.1635 f 816.783.1501<BR>www.bnim.com| <A href="http://elements.bnim.com/">elements.bnim.com</A> _______________________________________________<BR>Bldg-sim mailing list<BR>http://lists.onebuilding.org/listinfo.cgi/bldg-sim-onebuilding.org<BR>To unsubscribe from this mailing list send a blank message to
