It has a large modern kitchen with walk-in pantry and breakfast bar. Passive solar heating and solar electric provide most of the heating and electric. 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.
