Photos Taken When Simon Cope Was In Japan Watching Roof Integrated PV Solar Modules Being Installed...

Following is a photo sequence as a Canon stepped roof profile was installed on a mock roof structure outside the Canon Inc. Ecology Research & Development Center in Kyoto, Japan. Kristina and Simon Cope visited here in 1999 - absolutely eye opening experience to the possibilities here in New Zealand!

Already completed was various other prototype profiles (when I find the other photos I took I will post them here) - for example a corrogated style profile - perfect here in New Zealand!.

To look inside the attic at Kristina and Simon Cope's solar powered house in Meadowbank, Auckland to see why they have a massive hot water cylinder along with km's of cables (what of earth for!), then click here.
