Tool developed by LBNL to calculate potential savings from increasing wall and roof solar reflectance.

A structural insulated panel (SIP) roof has no embedded lumber in the structure, and therefore nothing substantial for attaching PV array and solar hot water mounts. Single or double lumber splines could be put into the panels, or I-joists at 4-foot intervals could be added.

A document providing guidance on integrating a PV array with a roof system.
