Solar energy is designed into our homes BEFORE they are built. Most importantly, lots are selected with ocean views to the North, and South roofs (rear of house) prepared for panels. Villas are built accordingly, with a protected roof section in back of house for panel installation and maximum solar exposure.. This is most important. Electric systems are installed to American/Euro standards, with correct ground and transfer switches ready to connect to Solar inverter. We don't install the actual panels until needed. Panel selection and quantity depends very much on the Owner of the house, their electric needs and lifestyle. We recommend living in the house for a year to assess your electricity needs. When you are ready, panel installation is fast and there are several good contractors available. Most importantly, the house and its electric system and roof have been properly set up.

Rainwater harvesting diagram for sustainable villas Puerto Plata DR.

Villas have Public Water service with large (4,000 to 8,000 gallon) underground concrete cisterns for storage. Cost of public water is inexpensive ($10 to $20US / month). But it's good to have a backup water supply in DR. Rainwater harvesting is becoming popular because 1. DR has abundant rainfall but the water drains away fast 2. During the dry season (June to October) you need a lot of water if you have gardens. 3. With the world being more unstable, it is good to have your own backup rainwater supply. We are about the only ones building sloped, reinforced concrete roofs. This costs more than the ordinary developer "box" house. Sloped roofs require more advanced engineering, which we have. Roofs are sealed with cement mortar and silicone, then we apply lifetime cement-based tiles. This again costs more than the usual villa. And our roofs NEVER LEAK. The water from a sloped roof is cleaner. It is piped into an underground cistern (5,000 to 8,000 gallons) totally sealed and hygenic. A separate pump delivers water to your gardens or to house if desired. We can install Water Purification systems that include filters, UV sterilization, reverse osmosis and carbon treatment. You can use rainwater for gardening and cleaning, or purify it and use in your house, or both. You can use both the Public water and your own rainwater, at same time yet keep them separate. Our Villa Verde has a rainwater cistern 6,000 gallons, and the water level has never dropped below 2 feet (8 feet deep). LOTS of water in DR if you store it.
