Injection moulded photovoltaic roof tiles - Ready to hit the market
By the summer of 2009, consumers can expect to see plastic photovoltaic roof tiles on the market. The product will feature an injection moulded tile with a compression laminated photovoltaic layer.
Getting the tiles to market hasn’t been easy. Peter Bressler, founder and principal of Bresslergroup, a Philadelphia-based industrial design and product development firm, explained how he did it in this video report. He is speaking at the Industrial Designers Society of America’s recent national conference in Phoenix.
PRW's sister title Plastics News is teaming up with the 3,500-member IDSA to deliver a series of videos from the event.
PN reporters interviewed students, educators, inventors and design/innovation leaders from such firms as Lenovo, Nike, Dell, Navistar, HP, Bayer, GLS, Hong Kong Polytechnic and many more.
The series is called “Design Briefs: An original video series on collaboration, education, sustainability, China & more.” The interview with Bressler is the first in the series. Watch for at least 12 video clips, to be released one per week, on the IDSA.org and Plastics News Global Group Web sites.
