ENERGY INDEPENDENCE
A net positive energy house
​
Enough free electricity to power two Dungog homes*
​
The home is wired for 3 phase electricity. In addition it will have a 9.6 kwh solar feed in tariff system producing a daily average of 39kw. This combination will give us electricity independence.
The excess will be fed back into the grid and the returns from the power supply company should cover any excess electricity costs used at night. There will be enough power to use all electrical goods plus more!

* AER (Australian Energy Regulator ) website "Energy Made Easy" electricity consumption for a typical 2 person household for in the area code 2420 : Daily average consumption of 14.1 kWh (5141 kWh/year) https://www.energymadeeasy.gov.au/benchmark

CARBON FOOTPRINT
Removing 12 tons of CO2 a year
More than enough electricity will be generated to cover all the our electrical appliance and EV (electric vehicle) needs:
​
Electrical appliances:
Electric cooking top and stove
Light fittings
Ceiling fans
Electric hot water tank (300l)
Infrared heating throughout the house
