IQ Homes LLC was formed in 2015 by Bob Waterstripe, a custom homebuilder who designed and built the solar home shown here for a client. Now retired from building, he leads a team of architects, engineers and CAD designers to provide plans for Full Solar Homes to homebuyers and builders, and to help builders and architects transition to Full Solar Homes by freely sharing the information in this website. Bob built the interactive calculator and discovered the financial synergy of solar power and EVs. He devised a simple financial plan to use just part of the savings on energy to save $100K or more in interest and eliminate 10+ years of house payments, too. Eventually the savings on energy and interest exceed the price of the home. The trick was to get enough solar on the home, solved by the “flat roof” design, which also greatly simplifies the installation and crushes the cost of adding solar. As a former builder, he realized that in a pre-planned simple installation, the cost of adding solar is reduced to the basic distributor price of the hardware, plus two or three days of labor for a small crew. With a Full Solar Home and EVs working class families can accumulate generational wealth in a single generation, money that would otherwise be burned to create carbon emissions. And did we mention they eliminate a lot of carbon emissions?
ABOUT US
This 6,800 sq.ft. (AC) residence has 5,800 sq.ft. of roof area including over the lanai. Of this only 1,200 sq.ft. was useful for solar, and that only by using solar roof tiles. This worked out to 18kW, ironically the same amount of solar power as the smaller example homes shown throughout this website. This is a solar home but not a Full Solar Home (not enough power for vehicles, too).  P.S. We don’t recommend this type of solar panels. Feel free to ask why.

Bob built the interactive calculator and discovered the financial synergy of solar power and EVs. He devised a simple financial plan to use just part of the savings on energy to save big money in interest and eliminate 10 years of house payments, too.

The trick was to get enough solar on the home, solved by the “flat roof” design, which also greatly simplifies the installation and crushes the cost of adding solar. The 10-degree roof designs are also quite versatile and can accomodate even more solar in the same footprint.
