Solar?

Many home owners have rejected solar panels because of their obtrusive and architecturally poor appearance.  In fact a significant number of high end subdivisions do not allow solar to be seen regardless of where their placed. The solar panels seen here have been integrated into the design. They are vertically mounted on a south facing wall with a sufficient overhang to keep them from overheating in the summer. In the winter they get full sun and add significantly to the heating needs of the dwelling. Hurlocker Homes is committed to building efficient dwellings within our contemporary design esthetic.
