The Project

We knew from the beginning that this wasn't going to be an easy install, but we were up for the challenge! This customer had visions of using solar energy to heat his domestic water and assist with space-heating. The only thing standing in his way was his living roof. We were able to create a custom mounting structure that impacted his roof very little, allowing him to take advantage of a terrific solar resource. In the end, we delivered a system that will offset approximately 70% of his family's annual hot water consumption.
