Dvele announcement
La Verne, California Out of the ashes of the Ventura County, California fires, new life comes from Dvele, the modular smart home builder. The San Diego-based Dvele now offers virtually invisible, and very powerful Sunflare solar panels seamlessly integrated into their roof tops. The system shown, generates over 13,500 kWh, and can cover 100% of the electricity used in the household.
Dvele’s core principles are totally aligned with Sunflare’s. They are 100% environmentally conscious, and they offer advanced technology, beautiful design, and very fast building timelines.
Dvele has high-end finishes using modern materials that are safer, cleaner, and sustainably produced. The houses are also built to Passive House standards. Passive House is the world's most stringent building science and energy efficiency based certification program. It is a conservation first approach to the building envelope, ensuring buildings are also long-lasting and resilient. “Dvele is re-imagining the home buying and living experience, creating healthy and efficient homes that positively impact the lives of our clients,” according to Chief Innovation Officer, Brandon Weiss.
How smart are the Dvele houses? You have the option to have an integrated intelligent home package that allows you to rest easy. Just tell Dveling that you are going to bed and want to wake up at 7:00 am, and then begin to drift off to sleep, because the rest is taken care of for you. The lights start to dim slowly, all exterior doors lock, security measures activate, outside air circulation engages, the temperature adjusts to help you sleep, the lunar power-saving mode turns on, sleep-inducing sounds fill the bedroom and the shades close. You can wake up refreshed at your desired time when the shades gently open. It’s like a dream come true.
Sunflare solar modules are in their own way dream-like. They are light, thin, flexible, and durable. They also have the cleanest footprint and the lowest climate change potential among existing electricity sources. Global warming potential is measured by the increase in emission of gases, which in turn, increase the earth’s temperature overtime. Sunflare’s Flex60 lightweight modules have a CO2 footprint only 1/5 of silicon and a lower climate contribution than both on-shore and off-shore wind.1 And Sunflare’s extremely thin light-absorbing CIGS layer uses less than 1mm of materials in its production process. Over ninety percent of the solar modules in the world today are made from glass-covered, aluminum-framed silicon, which requires temperature of 1800 degrees Celsius to manufacture.
Sunflare modules are 86% lighter than silicon when installed. Flexible Sun2 cells are encapsulated between durable polymer sheets. And the modules are easy to install by just peeling the backing paper from the panel and sticking it down. These panels do not require racking, or ballasts. In addition, a bypass diode at every cell enhances energy production -- even in shade.
“We are excited to partner with Dvele. They reflect everything we believe in, particularly in simplifying smart and environmentally conscious homes. They are changing the modular housing market and we are shifting the energy landscape,” said Philip Gao, CEO of Sunflare.
