Renewable and Low-emission Energy Technologies Sections:

Known areas that can reduce uptake include: • insufficient knowledge to carry out the project; • uncertainties about the long-term energy savings and the payback period; • uncertainties in the (relatively) new technology’s long-term performance; and • uncertainty in selecting the best contractors to install, operate, and maintain the systems as required. [...] The age and condition of the rooftop is also considered; if the roof requires replacement during the lifetime of the system, the entire system will need to be removed for the rooftop replacement, and re-installed.
