Founder, Solar Homes Inc

Solar Homes Inc. designs and implements plans for homeowners to get their homes to Net Zero, helping homeowners achieve their goals of emissions reductions, improved comfort or reduced operating costs. This is achieved sometimes in a single dramatic renovation or phased over several years with a defined plan and achievable end goal. Currently, Solar Homes Inc’s completed projects represent hundreds of tonnes of reduced annual emissions. Peter retrofitted his own home in 2015.

Solar Homes has been taking homes that are draughty, expensive to operate and emissions intensive and transforming them into high performance homes of the future, capable of generating all the energy the family needs.
