Intelligent Architectural Solutions
Welcome to SolarCity, where homeowners and design professionals connect to get advice on how to incorporate solar into their building projects.
SolarCity is committed to the development of intelligent solutions for the integration of solar energy into buildings. It has built a specialist design and innovation team that works alongside architects, homeowners and developers to help integrate active solar into the built environment with the objective to optimise not only the production of energy, but also to make important energy savings for the building.
Active solar technologies convert solar energy into usable heat and power. From refurbishments and renovations through to new build projects, active solar architecture can be incorporated into almost any building project using a selection of versatile solutions.
Solar provides a unique way for buildings to harvest energy from their environment and save energy.
