green roof with solar panels, east west formation

We have 12 + 6 new solar panels since August 2015 and November 2018, in east west formation, low, so very little worries about wind. The power optimizers are also new, so that with shade on one of the panels, the others still give a good profit. It looks very beautiful, we find. The new solar panels generate 3 times as much as the former 6 solar panels, high panels facing the south, which we bought in 2010. We could sell the old solar panels via Marktplaats.

We also have a green roof, that captures fine particles from the air, gives our solar panels a higher production and looks nice. It works isolating, in the summer it is cooler in the house, in the winter it is warmer on the highest floor. The green roof retains rainwater, by which there is less load on the sewer system with heavy rains. Once a year we participated in Nationale Duurzame Huizen Route (National Sustainable House Route). People can visit us to see our solar panels, the green roof and people can listen to our music.

The unit of the air source heat pump on the roof of the kitchen takes in air from outside. Using electricity, a compressor in the kitchen compresses the air. The energy which is released is being used to heat the water, that is stored in the green-yellow-red coloured hot water cylinder, for the (floor) heating of the house and tap water.

Our house became energy neutral. With a big investment in a heat pump and solar panels in east west postion, which generate 3 times as much as the former solar panels, we don't need gas anymore. We bought the new kitchen counter for € 100 via Marktplaats. We put legs under it and red doors we bought at Ikea. We also have a green roof and a vitaliser which brings the water to its original state again with vibrations at the entrance.

Besides that we are also engaged with biological clothes. We buy more and more organic clothes from eco-friendly materials, like hemp, biological cotton, wool and silk. When we have things we don't use anymore, we find it important that they can be recycled. A very nice and social website is
