:  Photo-voltaic Solar Panels PV Solar Panels are finding increasing use in commercial roofing application. Often they are used alongside single-layer membrane systems. The benefits of using PV Solar Panels are that they absorb direct sunlight convert it to electrical energy and store it in batteries. This eco-friendly form of electricity can then be used to partially power the building. However, when using PV solar panels that are harvesting this free form of energy is not always as it seems.
