Roof Panels


View of the Stewart/Cool Solargon 30 addition with the roof panels on. To the right is the link which will connect the Solargon to the existing home. This Solargon addition boasts R-42 roof and wall panels giving this super strong structure big advantages over any conventional building.


Above is the link framing to the main house. Two small ponds will be added with a small stream feature running under the link from one to the other.

Stewart Progress

Glen Haven Cabin


This mountain getaway is just 45 minutes from town in the front range of the Colorado Rockies. Located in the canyon can be cold in the winter, so having a R-42 wall and roof package keeps this cabin warmer with minimal energy demands.

Borowski Solargon in Glen Haven

Just a few miles out of Estes Park, Colorado along the North Fork is the little town of Glen Haven, site of the latest Solargon 30 project. Glen Haven is a very small town with a market and the Glen Haven Inn. Coffee is 25 cents at the market, and as soon as you arrive in town you are leaving town. Take the switchbacks out of the valley to the top of the hill and you find the view below of Longs Peak in Estes Park.




Above is the crown beam assembly with rafters which supports the R-42 roof panels.



View from the driveway with most of the roof panels installed.

Stewart Solargon 30 Addition


  The Stewart Solargon project located in Longmont, Colorado has broken ground. They plan on using their Solargon for a master suite complete with a link to the existing house. A small brook will flow under an arched opening below the link.
Pictured above is the stepped foundation ready for the concrete pour.
