Services for Private Clients & Homeowners

SDA specializes in designing and implementing 'energy autonomous' homes that produce as much energy as they consume. These residences are custom tailored to meet our clients needs and wishes, sited to optimize solar potential, and implemented using precise and demanding construction criteria to create the most energy conserving structures possible. Their photovoltaic and solar thermal arrays are sized and tuned to meet a majority of their requirements, 100% where necessary or desired, and otherwise only looking to utility support during the longest, grayest periods of the winter. These wonderful structures are places of pride and contentment for their owners, serving as both a statement of their commitment to sustainable practices, and as a means of achieving it.
