[QUOTE="Jack Arnott, post: 82393, member: 304"] Re: Home building/living suggestions wanted. The grass is prairie type, so does not need mowing. The roofs here are more efficient white. Better to repeal sun in the summer, than pick up in the winter. That is the job of the southern exposure. I have plans for the solar to be much lower angle than is recommended. For three reasons. One, won't need much for the summer, extra heat will just need to be tapped off. Two, better angle for winter pick up, when heating is needed inside. Three, added bounce from snow reflection in the back yard. There are Spanish style tiles, the double curve terra cotta looking things, that have PV in them, and connect one to the other. [/QUOTE]
