Incorporating solar energy into your house plans will help boost the output of the array and therefore increase your return on investment. Here are four tips to use when installing on a new construction.
1. Orient the home for solar panels
If you will be mounting your solar panel on the roof of your new home, it is important to have a large south-facing roof. If your home has a rectangular shape, one of the long sides should face south. This provides more roof space for your solar panels.
Sufficient space is essential if you want your solar system to produce all the electricity your house will consume throughout the year. A small south-facing roof will limit your space for panels, decreasing the possible size of the array.
