Here is our design to use Solar Thin Film Glass as Building material to build a Solar Collector Dome on top of the house. To replace the conventional Gable roof. Not only add solar power generation, the house gain a bonus Green room on the top. The Thin Film Glass panels can also be replaced by Concentration Fresnel Lens panels.
Spare the roof for visually aesthetic reason, also for safety concerns.
They can be multiple different designs. Canopy or Awning can also be other options!
1. Fire Chief’s Alert
=================
Fire Chief had asked Californian to reconsider to build Solar Array away from the conventional Gable roof?
Because during a fire, the fire fighters many not find the Solar Disconnect to disable the PV array.
If there is a high voltage, normally 1500V solar array? The Fire Fighters have the right to decline to go up to the roof.
Because they need to break a big hole to inject fire retardant foam to save the houses that are on fire.
2. Cleaning of the PV array
========================
PV panels gather dusts and need to be cleaned once a while. Going to the roof will be a task unsafe for home owners
An stand alone Metal structure could be easily cleaned by a water hose or a long brush.
