Yes it is possible. But it will cost you a lot to build and operate the house.

Of course. Our house is on electric, powered by a 5kw solar system. The AC, dryer, refrigerator, water heater is all electric. Our heat is from a wood stove, but we could put in a whole house electric heating unit if we wanted. No problem. I don’t know much about wind energy, but I know a house can be powered solely by solar power. Putting in wind power would be another expense.

You would have to pay up front, when the house is bring built, but the monthly costs would be next to nothing (depending on whether you’re hooked up to your electric company’s grid versus on rechargeable batteries – out electric company changes us about $6/month for the privilege to be hooked up to their system).

It’s expensive but you can do it. Most likely, the only way for it to be cost-effective, would be for you to do it yourself. I’ve included a link in my sources.

Yes. There are 2 ways to do it.

1. Off the grid. You buy it, you make it, you store it, you use it. Pro: you’ll still have lights in a blackout.
Con: If you don’t make enough you sit in the dark.

2. On the grid. You have the equipment to generate power that is then sold to the power co. for storage and sale. They in turn sell you power. You have 2 meters, what you generate turns backward and what you use turns forward, you hope they net to 0 at the end of the month.
Pro: you don’t need to have the storage on site (batteries) and the power co. will usually give you a partial subsidy for the equipment.
Con: dependent on the grid.

No trackbacks yet.
