Paticular areas that I am concerned about include: increased maintenance costs due to dust from construction site, the fragility of PV modules, how much shading is likely to reduce efficiency, whether planning permission is required, and of course the payback periods for both money and carbon emissions from manufacturing (I have heard extremely varied figures regarding this last point).

Any comments would be appreciated, thanks.]]> PVs on construction sites https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=143&Focus=1544#Comment_1544 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=143&Focus=1544#Comment_1544 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 10:13:47 +0100 nigel
To have any meaningful benefit you would need a large surface area.
Also there would be no subsidy from LCBP.]]> PVs on construction sites https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=143&Focus=1547#Comment_1547 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=143&Focus=1547#Comment_1547 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 10:44:53 +0100 Guest PVs on construction sites https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=143&Focus=1548#Comment_1548 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=143&Focus=1548#Comment_1548 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 10:45:52 +0100 annabel PVs on construction sites https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=143&Focus=1551#Comment_1551 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=143&Focus=1551#Comment_1551 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 10:56:02 +0100 fostertom
