While not technically a floor, it will be noted here. The roof is simple and to the point. The solar panels will be located on the roof. In addition, the elevator room for the residence’s elevator will be here. On top of the roof of the elevator room will be where the antenna will be mounted. As one can see, the roof will have a lot going on to make things work. There will be no infrastructure for satellite internet, nor satellite TV services. This is so to not interfere with the solar panels, and the need for a maintenance person to access the roof through the residence.
The solar panels will blanket the flat roof. Obviously, the panels will provide for electricity. Each battery bank will be charged, and the residence will draw on the banks rather than the electrical line. This is to reduce spikes and surges that could damage electrical equipment. When the battery banks are full, excess electricity will go to the grid. If more electricity was used than sent to the grid, there will be an electric bill. If less generated electricity was used than went to the grid, a check will be provided. The check will go to the PMB, and I will deposit the check into my personal account.
The elevator room for the residence’s elevator will be much like the other elevator room in the basement. There will be the hoist machinery, and an ATA (Analog Telephone Adapter) to connect with the elevator company in the case that the elevator goes out of service. The residence will be responsible for the internet connection that is needed for the elevator’s telephone line.
The OTA (Over The Air) antenna will be located on the roof of the elevator room. This will be the highest point of the building, and therefore should gain the best signals for any unit using the antenna for the TV stations. If cable TV is not worth the cost, this will provide for a free alternative option with a wide variety of stations. The antenna will be maintained by the owner, and if need be, replaced.
