[edit] Business-side info

I had previously added a link to a global directory of installers around the world (http://www.enf.cn/database/installers.html) - since people looking up information on solar roofs / BIPV may be interested in finding local companies to offer such a product to them. The information was taken down by someone who hadn't actually reviewed the validity of the information but was deleting based on the fact that I posted up several links to ENF.

On the suggestion of one of person that removed the information, I am submitting suggested comments/links here in the hope that other editors will evaluate the relevance and resubmit it to the main page:

[edit] BIVP in houses

I have removed this section as I believe it was almost completely irrelevant to the article in addition to being very US and especially California-specific, and not very well written. The only relevant part was a mention of solar shingles which appears earlier in the article. The section went into too much detail describing solar energy setups that can be found in more relevant articles. Also examples of residential solar programs did not appear to building-integrated. Placing PV modules on existing roofs doesn't qualify as BIVP. I am planning more minor edits to the rest of the article to clarify the idea of BIVP. JKRS ONE 04:24, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

In that case my apologies for mis-understanding the situation, and happy editing. Lithron 04:44, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
