Solar for New Homes: Powering the Future from the Start
In 2016, we helped a young couple integrate solar energy into their newly constructed home, creating a sustainable and energy-efficient foundation for their future.
The home’s architectural plans incorporated solar from the beginning, optimizing energy production. The garage roof, oriented due south at a 180-degree azimuth with an 18-degree tilt, was the perfect spot for the 24 solar modules. This configuration ensures maximum solar harvest throughout the year.
