EnergyPeak is a photovoltaic laminate system that allows photovoltaic panels to be built directly into roofing. The thin, easy-to-apply panels can be factory installed on roofing materials, and are intended to be an integrated element of a project’s design rather than an aftermarket addition. Unlike traditional solar panels, EnergyPeak can produce power in low-light conditions. The system comes in seven predesigned sizes, ranging from 3 kW to 120 kW.

Green Cement Mix: Composed of Recycled Materials
RediMAXTM Cement is a cement binder technology which consists of 95% recycled waste materials, and is intended as an alternative to traditional portland cement. This “green” cement is designed for all typical construction projects: footings, foundation walls, retaining walls, elevated slabs, etc. It has high early strengths, with 3,000 psi at six hours and a 28 day strength of almost 10,000 psi. While it can be transported and delivered like traditional portland cement, RediMAXTM remains in an unreacted state until a special admixture is introduced.
