I dont want a glazed roof due to poor performance in summer and winter.
I would prefer a solid thermally insulated roof but just been thinking another option may be solar glazing with an embedded pv array.

I know it will be expensive but just wanted to know if anyone had actually used any and how expensive it is and would it provide any thermal insulation in the winter.

Thanks]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=69&Focus=675#Comment_675 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=69&Focus=675#Comment_675 Thu, 01 Mar 2007 09:51:37 +0000 Keith Hall
I dont think there is any insulation value. I've never heard of it in double glazing. let us know what you find out Nigel.]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=69&Focus=711#Comment_711 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=69&Focus=711#Comment_711 Fri, 02 Mar 2007 14:29:45 +0000 Jane Smith http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=69&Focus=713#Comment_713 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=69&Focus=713#Comment_713 Fri, 02 Mar 2007 14:42:32 +0000 nigel
Its based on a double glazed unit which can be argon filled to give a reasonable U value.

I have come to the conclusion that its more aesthetic than effective and it would be better to put on a solid roof and use some roof integrated pv.]]>
