Solar power happens to be one of the hottest topics for home and commercial building owners today. So much that innovation guru’s like Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Motors, would buy out businesses like Solar City.

Take that concept one step further and you get Building Integrated Photovoltaic or BIPV, and Costa Mesa manufacturer SKYCO Skylights is making it their mission to bring more viability to these hidden power gems.
