Ready Solar’s Competitive Advantage
Ready Solar focuses exclusively on homeowner needs.We meet the critical consumer demands of appearance, convenience, and value through superior design, lower installation cost, standardized products, and ecommerce-based marketing and sales.
Ready Solar’s solar mounting system uniquely installs a solar electric system with only half the number of roof penetrations as traditional methods, substantially reducing installation time and cost.
Additionally, the logistics of this revolutionary mounting
system makes it feasible for homeowners to move the system to a new house, something not possible today.This one of a kind portability significantly reduces “payback concerns, often a barrier to PV system purchases.
Because Ready Solar primarily offers standardized products rather than customized units, our cost structure is lower, enabling us to profitably target a potentially unlimited number of smaller installations.In addition, Ready Solar systems are also
modular, and expandable, allowing customers to enter the solar market without making a significant upfront investment.Ready Solar systems are packaged and sold in a convenient, time efficient manner, also unique in the solar industry.
All of Ready Solar’s attractive, affordable and convenient systems offer these unique features and benefits:
• Revolutionary, frame-based mounting systems with beveled frames surrounding the panel, enable them to appear more like large skylights than tacked-on solar arrays
• Up to 50% fewer mounting points than traditional roof mounting methods, reducing installation costs and risk of roof leaks
• Fewer mounting points and greater ease of installation also enables portability, reducing “payback ” concerns
•Systems come with standard and premium solar panel offerings
• Exclusive modular design means customers can start small or large. Systems are expandable
•Colors available to complement or accent any roof type

We believe that our homes and neighborhoods should be healthy, vibrant places that uplift the spirit and gracefully fit our needs. We call for an end to poor construction, bad design, misleading marketing, unfair lending practices and environmental neglect in the housing industry. We acknowledge our collective responsibility to create CLOSE, SIMPLE, LIGHT places to live that leave a positive legacy for future generations.
provides design focused information that homeowners can use to improve the quality of how and where they live. It takes its name from the slow food movement which arose as a reaction to the processed food industry. The sprawl of cookie cutter housing that surrounds us is like fast food - standardized, homogenous, and wasteful. It contributes to a too fast life that is bad for us, our cities, and the environment. In the same way that slow food raises awareness of the food we eat and how these choices affect our lives, Slow Home empowers you to take more control of your home and improve the quality of how you live while reducing your environmental impact and futureproofing the long term investment value of your home.
