Solar Energy Built for Your Neighborhood

Shaw's rapid transformation into a tech and culture hub has brought solar-savvy residents. Creative rear-addition installations and modern condo developments make Shaw a solar adoption leader.

Optimized for Shaw Homes

Shaw properties feature historic front structures with modern rear additions—perfect for solar installations invisible from the street.

Typical Roof Types

  • Flat-roof rear additions (very common)
  • Historic front roofs (often north-facing)
  • Rowhouse party walls throughout
  • Modern condo buildings with shared roofs

Challenges We Solve

  • North-facing front roofs not ideal
  • Rear additions may be smaller
  • Shared condo roofs need HOA approval
  • Dense blocks create building shading

Our Solutions

  • Focus on south-facing rear additions
  • High-efficiency panels maximize limited space
  • HOA approval packages for condos
  • Shade analysis for optimal panel placement
