Prototype Rafters

The rafter installation was stopped several days ago to allow for "rethinking". The roof angles for solar, transitions from metal to Lexan, and solar panel mounting system were spinning in Brad's mind and needed to be resolved. This photo is of the new rafter configuration for the main living. The lower area of the roof will be metal roofing. The upper area will be metal roofing as well except over the patio. Lexan, which will let in light, will cover the upper section over the patio area. The solar tubes will be on the south edge of the upper roof, at an angle best suited to capture the sun. Over the patio the rafters and solar tubes will be visible through the Lexan.
