Are you ready to build solar-ready?
Some simple guidelines when building new construction...
does your project have an unobstructed southern-facing roof, + or -20°; is there a minimum 150 feet² on this area of roof?
Most homes have many more windows than doors. Replacing older windows with new energy-efficient ones can reduce air leaks and utility bills. The best windows shut tightly and are constructed of two or more pieces of glass separated by a gas that does not conduct heat well.

BUILD YOUR FUTURE ON MODERN ENERGY BEST PRACTICES
Save energy on the inside, create energy on the outside..
Green building is an industry trend, not a fad. The built environment has a profound impact on our natural environment, economy, health and productivity.
By incorporating modern energy solutions like solar thermal and solar pv during the new construction phase, the cost savings can be + 10% over a retro-fit solution and allows the new owner to amortize the cost of the system over the life of the mortgage. Today there are multiple benefits to adding green solutions to new construction:
- Generates LEED points
- Help secure energy efficiency mortgage credits and tax credits.
- Creates a critical point of difference in new home market and adds to resale valuation.
- Reduces operating costs and adds element of security
- Contributes to overall quality of life
At the earliest possible stage of construction, invest in a Plan. Something as simple as the facing direction of your new property can have a dramatic impact on the solar footprint. Provide us with some of your basic information to get you started and before we discuss your Modern Energy Plan project.
