Snow and Solar in Mueller Austin

In the late hours of a December night in 2008, it snowed for the first time on the homes in Mueller Austin.

By morning snow had settled on the roofs.

The roofs have a pretty steep pitch, which according to the Austin Solar Power company that came to assess our home for solar panels, is the ideal pitch for solar electric production at our latitude.

And the good thing about solar panels for residences at Mueller Austin is that they are already permitted in the master plan guidelines. Which means we just have to tell the architectural review committee that we're not going to put any unusual shaped panels on our roof and we should be good to go.

So we'll have high performance, energy efficient three star green homes with even lower utility bills than before.
