You can if it’s a new construction because mechanical ventilation and heat recuperation keeps humidity low enough to avoid condensation. We do it in our house but the panels are actually huge radiation surfaces installed in the ceiling with a low temperature differential to the temperature in the air. In winter we run the loop at around 25C and in summer at about 17-19C. We do need awnings to control direct sunlight into the house but it works pretty well. With the solar panels and batteries we have we generate about 50% of what we need.
- CalRobert 2y agoThat's really cool! Can I ask roughly where this is? I wonder if it's an area with generally low humidity.
- christkv 2y agoNorthern Spain, horrible humidity usually 80-100% max and low of 40-50% max. Company that’s did the installation is a startup https://sunthalpy.com/en/ https://sunthalpy.com/en/. I was worried humidity would be too high but after the building mass dried out it’s stable around 42-48% humidity no matter what the external humidity is.
