The building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) manufacturer has completed a residential installation in Michigan following UL certification of its Velario® solar roofing module. The project marks the company’s first reference site in the United States. Its expansion into North America is supported by a partnership agreement with US-based installer ArcEdge, which led the installation at a private residence in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
US debut
After more than 3,000 installations in 30 countries, primarily in Europe, the company has introduced its solution to the US market following UL certification of its Velario® module. The certification covered fire resistance, electrical safety and weather performance, all of which the product met.

Greg Grace, Chief Growth Officer at Roofit.Solar, pointed to rising interest among US property owners looking to integrate distributed generation without compromising architectural design. He added that the company’s expansion into the US market reflects its intention to support this trend.
