What makes your home a Green or Healthy Home?

We have an Outback 4.4 kw Solar PV system that is on/off grid with Outback components and LG solar panels. So “on the grid” we sell our excess solar energy to Excel and receive a check each month from them. Or with a flip of a switch, the house can operate totally off grid, producing it’s own electricity from solar power. There is also an impressive back-up battery system to store solar power for off-grid needs. We also have a KVAR Power Factor Optimizer Capacitor system and 90% LED’s throughout the house to further reduce the power needs. Other energy saving features include Pella double pane windows throughout the house, 7-zone central boiler radiant heat, 2-zone AC, ceiling fans in every bedroom and living room.
