Built for the sun. Ready for net-zero.
An efficient envelope is the foundation of every low-energy home. SCIP delivers it — and pairs perfectly with solar.
The smartest solar strategy starts with the walls.
Adding panels to a leaky, poorly insulated house is like filling a bucket with holes. We build the bucket right first — an airtight, high-mass, continuously insulated shell — so every solar kilowatt goes further.
A high-performance envelope
Continuous insulation with no thermal bridging keeps conditioned air in and Florida heat out, so your HVAC works far less.
Dramatically lower demand
Because the shell is airtight and high-mass, a SCIP home needs a fraction of the energy to stay comfortable — the cheapest kilowatt is the one you never use.
Solar-ready roofs
Structural roof panels are engineered to carry rooftop PV arrays, so going solar is a clean, planned addition — not a retrofit.
Storage & resilience
Pair solar with battery storage and an efficient envelope to keep the lights on and the home comfortable through outages.
Lower monthly bills
Less demand plus on-site generation means utility bills shrink — often dramatically — for the life of the building.
A path to net-zero
Start efficient, add solar, add storage. The efficient envelope makes true net-zero achievable and affordable.
“Comfort you can feel, bills you’ll notice, and a home that’s ready for whatever the grid — or the weather — does next.”
Frequently asked questions
- Are Now Eco Home SCIP houses solar-ready?
- Yes. Our structural roof panels are engineered to support rooftop solar arrays, and the highly efficient SCIP envelope means a smaller, more affordable solar system can offset a larger share of the home’s energy use.
- How does SCIP construction reduce energy bills?
- A SCIP shell is continuously insulated and airtight with high thermal mass, which eliminates the thermal bridging and air leakage of conventional framing. This sharply reduces heating and cooling loads — the largest energy cost in most homes — so bills drop even before adding solar.
- Can a SCIP home reach net-zero energy?
- Yes. Net-zero is far easier to achieve when the building envelope is already efficient. By combining a low-demand SCIP structure with appropriately sized rooftop solar and optional battery storage, a Now Eco Home can generate as much energy as it uses over the year.
