The Photovoltaic Ready Guidelines are specifically targeted towards the installation of PV modules and components as tested and/or certified according to relevant Canadian Standards Association (CSA) test standards; and as installed by qualified installers. For more information on relevant CSA test standards, see Section III, Part 7.
Note: The solar PV conduit should be installed entirely within the building envelope (except for conduits terminating above the roof). The Photovoltaic Ready Guidelines suggest installation of one dedicated PV conduit of at least 3.8 cm (1-1/2") diameter for use by a future PV system.
In most residential applications, roof-mounted equipment is the most cost effective way to install a solar PV system. Figure 1 describes the recommended roof space, orientation and mounting angle of the solar PV modules.
PV system installed on roof of village houses Photovoltaic (PV) systems installed on roofs or roofs of stairhoods of village houses must comply with the specified requirements for green and amenity facilities and must be properly installed and not adversely affect the structural safety of the buildings.
Although the RERH specification does not set a minimum array area requirement, builders should minimally specify an area of 50 square feet in order to operate the smallest grid-tied solar PV inverters on the market.
Homeowners can expect to save about 50% on the installation of a PV mounting system in a house built Photovoltaic Ready versus a standard house. (Assumes PV Ready houses include Solar Ready Trusses, while standard houses often require additional structural support added to their standard trusses).
The global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%. Europe follows with 32% market share, where standardized home storage designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting residential storage for backup power and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 4-7 years. Modern home installations now feature integrated systems with 10-30kWh capacity at costs below $700/kWh for complete residential energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving home solar storage and inverter performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 40% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,200/kW to $650/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow home systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing homeowner savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for solar storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $600/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with residential projects typically achieving payback in 5-8 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard home systems (5-10kWh) starting at $8,000 and premium systems (15-20kWh) from $12,000, with financing options available for homeowners.
