The United Kingdom first solar home in 20 years’ ago

The United Kingdom first solar home in 20 years’ ago, Professor Sue Roaf received an ambition to power her home from the energy generated with the sun. Sceptics sacked her, scoffing that photo voltaic photovoltaic and photo voltaic thermal technologies couldn’t possibly work in the uk – you’d need direct sunlight to shine. However Roaf pressed in, adamant that photo voltaic would sit the primary focus of her experienced Oxford Ecohouse.

The design in the Oxford Ecohouse was innovative right from the start. The entire variety, orientation and structural shading of the house was designed in order that the house stayed warm in the winter and cool in the summer. However, it’s the roof-integrated 4kWp photo voltaic array that marked one of the most radical break having tradition.
