Integrated wind-solar hybrid roofs combine solar panels with small-scale wind turbines to generate renewable energy directly on-site. This dual approach optimizes energy production and reduces reliance on external electricity sources, which can significantly influence a home’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating.
How Wind-Solar Hybrid Roofs Affect EPC Ratings
EPCs assess a property’s energy efficiency by evaluating heating, cooling, insulation, and energy consumption. Homes with integrated wind-solar hybrid roofs can benefit EPC scores through:
Increased Renewable Energy Contribution
On-site generation from both solar and wind energy reduces dependency on grid electricity, improving EPC ratings.Reduced Heating and Cooling Loads
By supplementing power for HVAC and lighting systems, hybrid roofs help lower overall energy use.Support for Regulatory Compliance
Integrating renewable energy technologies can help meet or exceed national energy efficiency standards, positively affecting EPC scores.
