Integrated system
How the systems connect
Solar, storage and efficient heating work together around your home, with the grid as a backup.
Solar
Generates electricity on site.
Smart battery
Stores energy and decides when to use it.
Grid
Balances supply and demand when the home needs it.
Heat pump
Delivers efficient electric heating and cooling.
01
The four steps
1. Reduce and manage
Energy evaluation, air sealing, insulation and monitoring.
2. Electrify heating
Replace fossil fuel heating with a cold-climate heat pump.
3. Add smart storage
A battery optimizes timing and adds resilience.
4. Generate with solar
Size solar to the electrified home's annual use.
02
Limits to be aware of
Roof area, shading, orientation and household consumption can make full net zero impractical for some homes. A net-zero-ready home that is efficient and electrified is still a substantial improvement.
