Revolutionizing the Future of Sustainable Living: Create Solar’s Timber Cabins – Part 1

In response to the escalating housing demand post-COVID, Create Solar is spearheading innovation in sustainable living with our latest Research and Development (R&D) project: off-grid net-zero timber cabins. Rooted in advanced solar technology, these cabins epitomize our commitment to pioneering eco-friendly solutions for modern living.  We are developing the following cutting-edge features into our future-friendly living solution:

  • 6” solid timber walls engineered for efficient heat storage, a product of rigorous R&D efforts.
  • Integration of the latest in insulation technology, achieving an impressive R12 rating for energy efficiency.
  • Groundbreaking Photovoltaic (BIPV) system developed in-house by our dedicated R&D team.
  • Collaboration with GSL ENERGY to implement state-of-the-art Solar Energy Storage Systems.
  • Utilization of our latest Heat Pump Hot Water Heater product, with advanced air cooling features, a result of ongoing R&D endeavors.
  • Implementation of Solar HVAC systems developed through collaborations with industry leaders OM and CHE.
