The advantage most homeowners don’t use
New construction and ADU projects give you one huge benefit: you can design solar into the build, not around it.
That means:
Cleaner layout
Better conduit routing
Fewer compromises
Better performance long-term
California’s energy standards also include solar-ready / solar-related requirements that shape roof zones and shading considerations.
What to plan before the roof goes on
Roof planes: pick the roof faces that give the best sun exposure
Shading: avoid placing vents/obstructions where panels should go
Electrical planning: panel, inverter location, and future battery readiness
Future expansion: ADU today, battery tomorrow—design for both
“The best solar install is the one you barely notice—because it was designed into the home.”Even if your idea feels small, clarity helps you find the right direction.
