The Solar Parade of Homes To the left, renderings of the two of the homes. Below, an aerial of the homes included in the “parade.” Both in home design and site plan, they are typical of up-market homes from the period in a typical suburban subdivision layout. Much more attention was paid to energy efficiency with a special emphasis on passive energy saving features. Note that some, but not all homes have solar photoelectric panels. All had solar hot water generation.
