Both solar PV for the home and separate domestic solar panels with a 105 gallon tank. Never run out of hot water and the home also has a backup battery system just in case the electricity goes out. Skylights and dedicated solarium provide warmth provide a thermo-siphoning lfow that is completely natural. Please see "Gee-Whiz" features.

On clear days the sun produces plenty of electric energy (kilowatt hours) from the roof-mounted photovoltaic (PV) system. Its back-up batteries keep delivering electricity if the electric grid goes down. In less than a second after a grid problem, the home still has key lighting, water pumping, communications, and refrigerator and freezer operating normally. And the PV system keeps charging the battery bank whenever the sun is up!

DOMESTIC HOT WATER HEATING SYSTEM The solar-heated domestic hot water (DHW) system is fully functional. Control electronics have been upgraded, a pump replaced, and most important, a 105-gallon water tank has been installed. It’s super insulated and contains no metal (except for back-up electric heating elements.) Accordingly, it does not rust and will likely last for a very long time. It supplies plenty of hot water even when the sun is clouded over for a few days. See the presentation on the bulletin board on the north wall for more info on the hot water system.

This home is equipped with two identical, super-efficient Mitsubishi air source heat pumps (aka “mini splits.”) This unit serves the downstairs studio/bedroom. It also serves the solarium when the fan control on the west side of the solarium is actuated, and interior doors are open. The other unit heats and cools the main living area on the north of the home. In practice, the heat pumps are almost never used for cooling because the whole-house fan does an excellent job. But the option of heat pump cooling is available at the touch of a button.
