How does BI PV by Shift work?

BI PV by Shift solar power metal roofing product is a 2-in-1 metal roofing product that integrates solar modules into metal roofing materials.
All necessary solar components are integrated right into the solar roof panels, eliminating the need to install any potentially obtrusive traditional types of solar panels.
The installation process is similar to installing a standard metal roof, with the addition of the electrical components being tied into your building’s electric panel.
This allows you to produce power, use that power, and send any excess power right back to the grid where your bill is automatically credited via net metering.
Go Solar, in a revolutionary way
BI PV by Shift looks like a sleek black metal roof, but it’s quite far from ordinary. The 2-in-1 design integrates high output solar cells, with a lifetime grade roofing material. You can now have a roof that looks amazing and produces its own power. Power that can fully, or partially, offset your energy bills, saving you money, reducing grid dependence, and helping your community produce cleaner energy.
