What is a Solaxis Solar Powered Home?
A solar home uses free energy from the sun for light and all kinds of electrical power.
Passive Solar Homes
Designed to make use of the sun's free heat and light, allowing the sun to shine deeply into the house during cold months to be absorbed by the mass of floor or walls and then radiated out slowly at night. This kind of solar homes are designed mostly in Europe and North America.
Active Solar Homes
In Africa, we focus mainly on active solar homes that use photovoltaic technology to convert sunlight to electrical power. Solar home power gives freedom from dependence on rising utility prices and noise pollution caused by petrol generators.
Benefits of Solar Powered Homes
Energy Independence
Freedom from dependence on rising utility prices and unreliable power grids.
Clean Energy
No noise pollution or dangerous emissions from petrol generators.
Cost Savings
Lower long-term costs with solar incentives, tax credits, and reduced bills.
Built to Last
Pre-fabricated materials designed for minimum maintenance cost.
More Than Just Solar Panels
A Solar powered home is much more than mounting panels. Before installing solar panels onto a home, the owner must consider a very important concept: the house's energy efficiency. The very first step towards creating a solar home is to convert an energy wasteful home into a lean, clean energy efficient home.
Hence at Solaxis we prefer starting from the designs up to the implementation using our pre-fabricated building materials ranging from steel to special concrete materials, taking into account environmental conditions like humidity and other factors to ensure a home that could last forever at minimum maintenance cost.
Is Solar Electricity Too Costly?
No, especially when you consider current Solar Incentives!
- International tax credits
- State, city and utility subsidies
- Grant programs
A common argument is that solar electricity is too expensive compared to utility company electricity. This is not the absolute truth! The real truth is that wasteful use of energy is never sustainable.
We pay for our over-consumption in taxes that go towards subsidising dirty energy sources and cleaning up the environment. We pay for it in healthcare costs for breathing dirty air and eating dirty foods.
In Africa, we pay even more — the cost of petrol powered generators, the noise pollution and dangerous emissions caused by these sources are unbearable and can even cause death in some cases.
A solar home that incorporates passive solar house design uses less energy, and the cost of the solar electric system to support it is reasonable and affordable.
A sustainably designed solar home by our Czech and African partners will give you independence from the economy's ups and downs, protect you from spiraling energy costs, help lower our carbon footprint, and slow global warming.
