BUILDING A SOLAR-READY HOME

A home with solar grids

Designing a solar ready home is a good step to minimize construction and installation costs especially if you are exploring the possibility of future upgrades. Integrating your home design to a future solar build will maximize the solar system’s potential and make the installation easier and hassle free.

Allot good roof space, tilt and orientation

Roof space with solar panels

To make the most of your solar, providing optimal placement and good roof space for your solar panels will result in higher efficiency of the system. It is best to orient the solar panels towards what is referred to as the ‘solar window’, for the system to receive the maximum amount of solar energy at any time. In Metro Manila, the ideal set up is to face the panels towards the “True South”, with tilt of between 10 to 20 degrees.

Be careful of the possibility of shading

Make sure that your roof is free from any obstructions that may later on cause shading on the panels that will be installed (such as trees, antennas, or surrounding buildings). Carefully plan where to put the vents, skylight, or heater, and place them where they cannot affect the solar panels.

Does that mean I have to sacrifice on design?

Organized solar grids

Not really. In fact, the whole concept of a solar-ready home is to design the establishment to be more well-built and solar equipped when a homeowner finally decides to install one. The homeowner can approach their architects and contractors to better incorporate your home design with solar. This can be a huge breather especially since constructing a home and installing solar can be an expensive combination. Preparing your home to be solar ready will make your future solar installation easier – like plug and play.

The trend of going green

With the increasing awareness of climate change and global warming, people are starting to look for green alternatives. From using eco bags and switching to metal and wooden straws, many are looking for ways on how to make a positive contribution and lessen their negative impact on the environment – thus, the concept of planning, designing, and building your green home. Going green is the new trend!

Designing green homes is not foreign to our ears. A lot of people are not just referring to green homes by building it with recyclable or eco-friendly materials – green homes also refer to houses that are designed to be environmentally self-sustainable. This includes homes that use and maximize sustainable sources of energy.

 

What solar-ready actually means

What solar-ready actually means

Usually, the homeowners approach the architects and contractors because they want to “go solar.” Incorporating solar-ready design in homes can help lessen construction costs in the long run by reducing the need for future upgrades. Home and building designs can be upgraded today to maximize the potential of solar installations. This makes the future solar system more cost-effective and feasible.

The concept of a solar-ready home, building, or facility refers to designing and building an establishment that is built and equipped in a way that solar technology can easily be integrated when the owner decides to have one. This optimizes the installation of solar after the establishment is constructed. This would also make the solar installation easier and more ready to install in case the client has a tight budget and doesn’t allow the installation of the PV system at the current time.
