    Ep. #17: Power Moves: Designing Homes that Stay On

    Hosts: Daniel Glauser and Tim Hill, with guest Derek Evans In this episode, Daniel and Tim sit down with Derek Evans of Native Solar for a deep dive into designing resilient homes. Derek shares how solar, battery backup, and generators fit into modern residential design, why early coordination with the builder and architect matters, and how client goals (from ROI to peace of mind) shape every system. They cover everything from site constraints to electrical infrastructure, roof layout, load-shedding, off-grid possibilities, and frequently overlooked considerations during planning. Derek also breaks down common misconceptions, the shift toward battery-backed systems after Texas’s 2021 winter storm, and what it takes to design a home that stays comfortable and functional when the grid goes down.
