The fully automated PV system utilizes four 20-year life maintenance free sealed telecommunication batteries. A Trace inverter and Heliotrope charge controller provide approximately 7000 watts of electricity per day. Utility grid power and an Onan generator can augment the solar electric if needed. A Jotul woodstove and an 80,000 Btu forced air natural gas furnace augment the passive solar heating. The interior temperature never falls below 65 degrees, unheated. The Straw Bale guesthouse features a stucco exterior with post and beam interior, long covered porch, custom oak cabinets, a full bath, and deep-set windows.
