Using Solar Panels to Achieve Net-Positive Energy
peckham architecture’s leed platinum, Phius Certified home office produces more energy than it consumes. During May 2016—our first month of occupancy, and the warmest May on record—our building produced so much electricity, we received a $179 credit on our bill.
Installing solar panels on our standing seam metal roof was an essential final step in achieving net-positive energy. In addition to the photovoltaic system, our passive house has super insulation, LED lighting, energy recovery ventilation (ERV), an instant hot water heater and Energy Star appliances.
