When considering site-generated renewables, I suggest priorizing active daylight transmission to interior as having 10 times the solar utilization compared with PV to cover core lighting. UBC's solar canopy illumination is a great example. Secondly,hybrid PV/thermal is available in many forms greatly improving economics and area utilization. If anyone is interested, I can send some links. I would like to be involved having designed zero carbon buildings and working on cost-effective net zero retrofit solutions.
