Southern Illinois Lake House
Project Description
Installation Details
On this family’s current home, they had limited roof space. They opted for an oversized ground mount system located next to their shed. This ground mount is enough coverage for their current house and shed. With no previous utility bills to measure the energy usage of their new home, they decided to install a 10kW system and left room to add more modules on in the future. They chose black on black modules that blended into their roof. Due to their unique roof layout, the panels are spread across the east, south, and west facing parts of the roof for optimal sunlight exposure.
