A new concept in solar power, photovoltaic shingles, can help protect your home from the elements while generating pollution-free electricity.Wires from the photovoltaic cells on each shingle connect to a junction box. The current is sent to a battery for storage, and an inverter converts it to AC power. You can operate everything from a home computer to a security system with the electricity generated by these shingles.

Joe Kreis from MJ Cordaro Electric Company explains the installation of a Leviton structured wire system. The system is designed to seamlessly allow the transmission of data, phone, and cable signals within the home. The home was pre-wired at the Simplex factory to plug into a central control panel once the modular pieces were assembled. Each bundle of wires runs from the individual room�s networking box directly to the home�s central system with no splits or connections.

Inspired by the interior wall panels seen in the Winslow-Crocker house in Yarmouthport, Mass. (see tour in episode 1), Bob and crew go to work on replicating the panels in the Modern Colonial project house's dining room. To talk more about the general design of the home, Ben Larochelle, director of custom home plan services for Drummond Designs, visits the project house. Larochelle demonstrates the computer design software that was used to modify the house plans. Using professional design software, Drummond Designs can make custom modifications to any home plan to suit the owner's needs.

Keep electrical wires separate from computer or cable wires. The household current carried through electrical wires can cause interference in other cables. An easy solution is to keep then at least 4 inches apart and never tie them together. If they need to cross, keep them at right angles.
