HOW WE DESIGN FOR SOLAR POWER?
For a home to fully harness solar power, our architects meticulously design the roof to face the sun's longest exposure. This principle applies to both pitched and flat-roofed homes and can involve adjustments to the home's positioning on larger properties for optimal sunlight capture.
Furthermore, certain solar power systems enable the storage of energy in large batteries. These batteries facilitate the utilization of stored energy during nighttime and overcast days when solar panels are unable to harness sunlight.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COSTS?
Leasing solar panels entails a significantly lower initial investment compared to purchasing them outright, offering the flexibility to upgrade panels once the lease term ends. However, leased panels may not yield the same long-term savings as owned ones. Nonetheless, both options contribute to substantial reductions in non-renewable energy usage and result in considerable savings for homeowners.
Meanwhile, while the initial investment for purchasing solar panels may be substantial, the ensuing long-term savings are considerable and often recoup the initial costs within a few years. The extent of sunlight exposure directly influences the speed at which homeowners achieve a full return on their investment, underscoring the crucial role of architectural design in maximizing cost savings for the home.
