January 31, 20206 yr I'm considering the possibility of some solar balustrading on the new house I'll be building. If I search for the idea it seems to be quite common now overseas e.g. its easy to find images like If I search in a local/za context I turn up almost nothing however. Has anyone done anything with PV balustrading locally or know of companies doing it etc.? Particularly I guess our architecture code has various standards in terms of balustrade strength and so on which may be different to other countries so I guess its not just a case of buying the same railings as a normal glass balustrade and throwing a panel in instead of glass, or is it that simple?
January 31, 20206 yr The difference may be the sun angle, in that in Europe the sun is mostly very low to the horizon, and here mostly overhead. In ideally placed circumstances in SA those would be much less efficient that roof mounted ones, buy hey, give it a try!
