These homes can either be active or passive.
Home deisgn with solar panels.
The solar panels produce electricity during the day when the sun is shining and that electricity is used to power your home.
Don t compromise your home s curb appeal instead turn your home into the envy of the neighborhood not only for its curb appeal but also for its smart use of a renewable energy source.
Solar system design takes into account two important factors the amount of space that you have available for installing solar panels and the amount of electricity you consume annually.
They lack the aluminum frame of a conventional solar panel.
Solar photovoltaic system or solar power system is one of renewable energy system which uses pv modules to convert sunlight into electricity.
The electricity generated can be either stored or used directly fed back into grid line or combined with one or more other electricity generators or more renewable energy source.
Frameless solar panels with a backsheet and glass on glass panels.
Sleek and durable our solar panels are low profile and durable quietly converting sunlight to energy for decades to come.
In this approach the solar panels are hidden through either compositional strategy or design innovation.
So apart from getting rid of energy bills you also eliminate the costs of charging your electric car.
Passive solar design takes advantage of a building s site climate and materials to minimize energy use.
Active houses use the sun to run it.
Solar panels cannot produce electricity at night when the sun is down so that is when your home will draw power from the grid.
A well designed passive solar home first reduces heating and cooling loads through energy efficiency strategies and then meets those reduced loads in whole or part with solar energy.
Disguise the solar panel design.
But if a unique design that will stand out is your goal you should consider frameless solar panels.
Frameless solar panels are exactly what they sound like.
The total power of the system is 4 2 kw.
There are two types.
Featuring a black on black design minimal framing low profile mounting and sleek edges the solar panels we install offer a clean look to every home.
Usually when solar panels are installed on a home they are tied to the grid.
This strategy is best used in conjunction with form follows as architecture designed around the size and shape of a solar panel is best suited to disguise the panel like these solar rooftops from.
The system is made of 30 x 235w mono solar panels that generate enough electricity for the entire house plus for charging the electric car you see in the picture.
Other factors like shading analysis and the efficiency of solar panels and inverters also come into play depending on your property.
