What makes your home a Green or Healthy Home?

This SOLAR home offers multiple energy solutions. It can be operated entirely off grid relying on the 3000 watt solar array and battery bank or utilizing the grid tie-in system drawing extra needed power from the local electricity co-op and selling excess solar power back to them at the same rate. Either way, you can be self sufficient, utilizing solar energy with generator backup, propane appliances, and wood heat, but have the security of access to the grid if desired. And selling excess energy back into the grid can be an income source as well! This hobby farm is also chemical free and fully organic!!
