Solar panels are no longer taking the back seat when it comes to home design. Photovoltaic Systems were always an afterthought for the home owner and as a result often times looked clumsy and out of place. Now more than ever home owners are considering solar panel integration at the same time they are deciding on what roof type will be used. In addition the actual orientation and pitch of the home’s roof line is being driven by the desire for high performing solar panels. The result is a much more aesthetically pleasing end product. One which truly makes the solar panels part of the house – and not an unsightly add on.
