The term "passive solar" simply means collecting the suns heat without any machines or moving parts. Builders and owners in the southwest benefit most from this due to the mild climate throughout the year. With a little extra attention to the homes position on the lot, the southern exposure lowers utility costs and provides a comfortable, bright environment with very little added expense to building costs. By carefully choosing an appropriate floor plan and window design, passive solar can create a unique, natural heating system without the clutter or solar panels or other expensive, unsightly systems.
