Rammed Earth Home Solar Panel Installation

Viridian Solar completed this 8.4kW grid tie solar panel installation on this beautiful rammed earth home on Saltspring Island in 2016. Combined with the geo-exchange heating system, rammed earth walls, and timber structure this makes for an energy-efficient, natural West Coast home, powered by local rooftop power. The solar panels were installed on the South, West, and East roof surfaces to maximize energy production.

Non-penetrating roof clamps were used to secure the solar panel hardware on the roof ensuring the metal roof waterproofness was not compromised.
