Advent of the Headrick Solar-Voltaic{trademark} Dome Power Station. Smith, E.M. (Solar Development Cooperative, Washington, DC (United States)). pp. 259-264 of Proceedings of the American power conference: Volume 59-1. McBride, A.E. (ed.). Illinois Inst. of Tech., Chicago, IL (United States) (1997). 613p. (CONF-970456--: 59. Annual meeting of the American power conference, Chicago, IL (United States), 1-3 Apr 1997).

Building-integrated photovoltaics is a whole new industry with its own natural set of economic and technology deployment rules. Energy deployment using large remote sites do not exploit the natural benefits and characteristics of photovoltaics. The PV industry will flourish with solar electric building walls and colorful mosaics creating electricity woven into structures. Through the vast construction industry in the US, and the world market, the authors plan to evolve the US as a respected world leader in domestic as well as global BI-PV deployment. Using quality BI-PV technologies, the authors direct and accelerate the global marketplace out of the fossil and nuclear fuel era into the coming age of sustainable energy. Two Headrick Solar-Voltaic Dome{trademark} Power Stations in each state will result in over 26MWp of clean PV energy. The next step is the 1,000 Unit, 15-year $2 billion dollar business plan creating a demand for 21 million SF of PV surface to produce 262 MWp grid-connected clean solar energy by 2010.
