Passive solar design takes advantage of a building’s site, climate, and materials to minimize energy use. A well-designed passive solar home first reduces heating and cooling loads through energy-efficiency strategies and then meets those reduced loads in whole or part with solar energy.
Passive solar energy refers to techniques that allow solar energy to be harnessed directly without having to process it. For example, depending on the design of the building construction, the amount of natural energy that is harnessed can be significantly improved. Passive solar uses components to control the heat generated by the sun.
In simple terms, a passive solar home collects heat as the sun shines through south-facing windows and retains it in materials that store heat, known as thermal mass. The share of the home’s heating load that the passive solar design can meet is called the passive solar fraction, and depends on the area of glazing and the amount of thermal mass.
Savings on heating and cooling is one of the most obvious benefits of passive solar. By harnessing the sun’s natural heat and avoiding thermal losses, passively designed buildings require less energy to maintain a comfortable temperature, reducing energy bills in the long run.
Our home solar PV systems and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment in Polish conditions. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control with remote management capabilities.
