    Case Study: The Go Green Home

    Case Study Solar ​Design

    PHOTOVOLTAIC
    At The Go Green Home we're installing approximately 742 square feet of photovoltaic (PV) panels on the roof, which will produce up to 7 kilowatts of energy. To illustrate, the average American household uses 600 kilowatt hours of electricity per month; a 7 kilowatt PV system can produce over 1,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per month. Any excess energy can be fed back into the grid; the power company credits you for that energy, and you single-handedly reduce the demand for power generated by non-renewable resources. With nearly 300 days of sunshine each year, the Los Angeles basin is a natural for solar power.

    PASSIVE SOLAR​

    The Go Green Home makes good use of passive solar design strategies as well. Most windows and glass doors are located on the south wall; this eases the demand for artificial lighting. Less artificial light = less heat = less artificial cooling. The end result? Energy efficiency. Rooms on the hot northwest corner include the garage, master bath and media room, all areas which benefit from having fewer windows.
