Building Custom Homes With Solar Panels

Many of the custom homes that BCBE Construction LLC has built have installed solar panels. Solar panel refers to a panel designed to absorb the sun's rays as a source of energy for generating electricity or heating.

A photovoltaic module is a packaged, connected assembly of typically 6x10 solar cells. Solar photovoltaic panels constitute the solar array of a photovoltaic system that generates and supplies solar electricity in residential applications.

Fortune Magazine says the global market for solar panels is expected to soar to a record high in the first half of 2016 because of strong demand as well as favorable policies in the United States and China. Currently, in the U.S., 22.7 gigawatts of solar panels are in operation. However at the end of 2016, the U.S. will reduce an important 30% tax credit for customers to 10%. Overall, the market for solar panels is expected to continue to grow globally beyond 2017. As the cost of installing and making solar panels continues to drop, the technology will increasingly be more attractive to customers as an alternative to fossil fuel-based energy.

BCBE Construction And Energy Efficiency

BCBE Construction LLC practices many "Green" building initiatives when building or remodeling a customer's home in Southwest Florida. We are committed to protecting South Florida's beautiful communities by using environmentally safe building practices and materials.

Over the last forty years "Green" building methods have evolved to benefit the building industry, the home owners and the community and BCBE Construction LLC has been committed to using these products and techniques throughout the building process. We provide our customers with a concise and value-added framework for implementing green building design, construction, operations, and maintenance.

Energy Efficiency: BCBE Construction LLC can help with all your energy efficient needs. Some of the ways BCBE can help you become more energy efficient in your home include:
  • Installation of energy efficient appliances such as high-efficient air conditioning equipment with programmable thermostats, pools with high efficiency pool pumps, etc.
  • Installation of impact glass in windows
  • Non-vented attics with insulation applied directly to the underside of the roof
  • Solar Panels
  • Green Roofs
  • Water Systems

Water Conservation: BCBE Construction LLC uses native, drought-tolerant plantings for landscaping thus reducing the amount of water needed for irrigation. We can also use the solar energy to heat the floors in your home.

Indoor Air Quality: Through the installation of high-efficient air conditioning equipment, separate dehumidification equipment and sealed attics, BCBE can help reduce humidity in your home as well as provide fresher air to breathe while diluting indoor air pollutants such as household chemicals and cleaning products. 

Insulation: Spray foam insulation is a high performance insulation and air barrier system that works to minimize the intrusion of outdoor pollen, allergens, and pollution from entering the home. This system seals the home, which controls moisture transfer through the building envelope and increases the energy efficiency of the home. BCBE uses this type of insulation in almost every home we build.

Durability of your Home: BCBE Construction LLC uses high impact windows that withstand all current wind load requirements. If a window is struck by debris, it may break, but it will not shatter.

BCBE constructs the home with concrete and concrete block for all exterior walls, arches, columns and balconies because concrete requires minimal maintenance and cannot be damaged by water thus it does not promote mold growth.
