What Vitruvian Energy is at its core
Vitruvian Energy specializes in integrating photovoltaic systems into homes in a way that keeps the solar components hidden or blended with the architecture, ensuring the home’s design remains intact. We achieve this through collaboration with architects and builders, utilizing the latest advances in building-integrated and roof-integrated PV materials, along with cutting-edge installation techniques. Our work is highly specialized, primarily focused on high-end luxury homes. These projects typically cost 2-3 times more than conventional solar installations and cater to environmentally conscious property owners prioritizing sustainability, along with extremely advanced and smart technology.
As Tesla Roof certified installers, Vitruvian Energy is proud to offer the Tesla Roof, an innovative solution that integrates seamlessly with your home’s design while providing the benefits of solar energy. Vitruvian Energy is the first full-service solar EPC focused exclusively on architectural solar integration for high-end luxury residences.
