About this course
Learn the steps and design choices that will enable a new construction project to supply 100% of its load through renewables. Together we will explore how suite conditions will affect the cost and production of going solar (“Solar Right”).
When installing solar is not an immediate option, however, it is still necessary to take measures that ensure improvements can be made easily later (“Solar Ready”).
This lesson will provide an explanation of the minimum requirements for installing solar technologies and review potential strategies for making it easy to retrofit your projects with solar.
Participants will:
- Understand the minimum code requirements for solar technology implementation
- Understand how to plan and execute projects that meet code minimum requirements
- Understand how to plan and execute projects so new homes can be easily retrofitted with solar technologies
