Depending on the use, a SQPOD can be placed directly on a concrete surface, or foundation suitable for your land. This will require input from a builder or component person such as a engineer.
Do I need to paint my SQPOD?
No, SQPODS frames are finished with a zinc rich paint and walls have a powder coated protective steel cover.
Are SQPODS Insulated?
A SQPOD is supplied with 75mm high performing insulation to walls and roof.

Note, the cost of connecting a SQPOD to mains or Solar power is not included in the purchase price.
Can Solar be added to a SQPOD
Yes, all SQPODS are Structurally Engineers to support SOLAR panels and an inverter mounted on the side.
Adding solar power to a SQPOD is clever, low maintenance, and a zero carbon emissions power source that will benefit for many years to come.
The cost of Solar depend on your location, how much power and when it is needed. If you're only looking to power a few lights and maybe a computer during the day a small solar system suit your need. Now, if the SQPOD is in a remote location you will need an OFFGRID system with battery storage; we are able to provide direction; please ask a SQPODS consultants.
