Preferred term

solar housing  

Definition

  • The prominence of the sustainability movement and an increased emphasis on green development has led to increased interest in the incorporation of passive and active solar in both new home construction and the retrofitting of existing homes. Advances in solar technologies, rising energy costs, and an increase in the availability of tax credits, rebates, and other incentives for homeowners at the federal, state, and local level, as well as from utility providers, have also helped advance the use of solar at the residential scale.
