Beat the Heat and Save with Solar Panels: A Homeowner's Journey
Imagine coming home to a house that feels like an oven, with heat radiating from every surface. This was the reality for Mr. Tan, a homeowner in Singapore, whose house had a flat roof made of concrete. With the tropical sun beating down, the heat absorbed by the roof made his home unbearably hot, especially during the peak of the day where temperatures on the roof could reach 55 degrees Celsius.
To make matters worse, Mr. Tan was feeling the pinch of increasing electricity tariffs. He knew he needed a solution that would not only cool his home but also help him save on energy costs. That's when he decided to explore the idea of installing solar panels on his roof.
However, before the solar panels could be installed, Mr. Tan needed to address the issue of his hot roof. He discovered ENVI-Gel 365, an insulating paint that could help prepare his roof for the solar panel installation. The paint would not only seal minor cracks but also insulate the roof from the heat generated by the solar panels. On a hot day, the temperature of the solar panels could reach as high as 70 degrees Celsius, which would further contribute to the heat inside the house.
After applying ENVI-Gel 365 to his roof, Mr. Tan noticed an immediate difference. The temperature of the roof surface dropped by approximately 20 degrees Celsius to 35 degrees Celsius, making his home much more comfortable. With his roof now prepared, Mr. Tan went ahead with the installation of solar panels.
The solar panels not only provided Mr. Tan with clean, renewable energy but also helped him save on his electricity bills. With the combination of ENVI-Gel 365 and solar panels, Mr. Tan was able to beat the heat, save on energy costs, and do his part for the environment.
Mr. Tan's story is a testament to the power of innovative solutions and sustainable practices. By taking simple steps to address the heat issues in his home, he was able to make a positive impact on his comfort, finances, and the environment.
