Keep the Party Going with Backup Energy Systems

Architects are at the forefront of pioneering green homes and combatting climate change. Their designs touch upon every aspect of a home's energy needs, from the direction of the windows to their window coverings, the integration of solar panels and other renewable energy, and the system that manages all the power sources, from the grid to green energy and the backup generator.

But what about the basics and some of the year's most important celebrations and family gatherings? What about the energy management solutions for the holidays? No one wants to be that guy, the Clark Griswold of the family that plugs the Christmas lights in only to cause a power surge and a total blackout.

Let's explore the best backup energy solutions that ensure an uninterrupted holiday gathering.

Solar Plans Must Be Submitted with the Building Permit Application!

California has long been a leader in solar and renewable energy. To reach its goal of achieving 100% clean energy by 2045, it needs to triple its solar power capacity. To accomplish this, the state has passed several laws, including the California solar mandate, requiring all new homes built in 2020 and beyond to have rooftop solar photovoltaic systems. This system must be able to generate all the energy the home needs over the course of a year.

Now, in Sonoma County, a new regulation regarding solar power took effect on October 1, 2024. It's the reason why your new build needs complete solar plans when you submit your permit.

Here, we'll explore the details, how it's affecting new builds, and how the team at Summit Technology Group can help. Keep reading to find out!
