So where’s all the solar?
A message for builders and architects: Full Solar Homes are the opportunity of a lifetime to take the lead in your market. We’re here to help you. A Full Solar Home represents a new value paradigm for housing. As demonstrated by our interactive calculator, this is already a massive shift, and becomes more valuable as energy prices rise. The growing share of electric vehicles will reduce demand for oil by 50% within a decade. You don’t need to be an economist to see that this means continually rising fuel prices, which will only accelerate adoption of electric vehicles. Meanwhile, utilities are adding more renewables but there is no evidence that electricity rates will come down. Sooner or later, any home that does not produce as much energy as the home and vehicles use will be as obsolete as a home without indoor plumbing. Full Solar Homes can be built of wood or steel framing, blocks or poured concrete, whatever suits you and your market. Architects: the design approaches shown on the Design page demonstrate that a Full Solar Home can work in a small footprint anywhere snow load is not an issue, meaning where about 75% of new homes are built in the U.S. these days. (Where snow is an issue, you need a steeper roof and more panels.) The “flat roof” approach is a cool solution, ideal for Florida and the southern half of Texas, for example, up to about 30º North latitude before you need to expland the footprint to fit more panels. Of course the “flat roof” is really two minimum-pitch planes so the ridge is only about 7” high and the roof drains to the back corners for easy water management. A “flat roof” plan works for any orientation of the house while solar panels face south. A solar array could even be configured for a house on a corner lot. The short parapet wall assures the solar panels are not visible from the street. The 10º-sloped roof approach accomodates even more panels on the same footprint. We see plenty of opportunities for creative architects to add some style to these minimalist platforms. In general, the squarer the footprint, the easier it is to fit more solar panels. You probably already have plenty of floorplans that can be made into Full Solar Homes. Our mission is to make Full Solar Homes a new normal. You can have a portfolio of Full Solar Home designs in no time. Let’s talk about how we can help you get started. Call 772-519-8231 or email us. Take the lead in your market with Full Solar Homes before someone else does.

Builders: being first in your area with a Full Solar Home makes you the market leader that everyone else will eventually follow. You’ll sell as many Full Solar Homes as you can build, forever. You don’t want to be second. The mass builders are not going to switch to Full Solar Homes in the middle of building out their latest cookie-cutter subdivisions. And when they do, they can’t afford to offer Full Solar Homes too close to the prices of their conventional stock. This gives you and your customer a big advantage. This is the opportunity of a lifetime for independent builders to grab market share. We’re telling the world how to get the solar for the best cost by including it in new construction. With pre-wiring and detailed instructions, installation of all the solar takes two days or less. Everything on the roof just plugs together and bolts to the rails. Let the customer pay the distributor invoice prices for the hardware, and charge a fair price for the labor. You make money and no one can undersell you on solar. Your customers get the best possible value. Many independent builders turned to remodels and rehabs after the last housing bust. We can show you how you can build Full Solar Homes fast and efficiently with a core crew of 4 to 6. If you currently build to order, or build to sell, we’ll rework your favorite plan into a Full Solar Home with a “flat roof” or 10º-sloped roof. We’ll provide 3D renderings with the maximum number of panels that will fit, and expected performance in your in your area. In most cases it will be plenty for the home and two vehicles. We provide a complete solar system design specific to the client and site, including installation and wiring plans. Let’s talk about how we can help you get started. Call 772-519-8231 or email us. Take the lead in your market with Full Solar Homes before someone else does.
