Open House at a Net Zero Energy Home
Part of the American Solar Energy Society’s National Solar Tour

If you are interested in solar technology and zero energy homes, please visit this 30 -year old house in Harriman, TN.  In the fall of 2005, the owners began renovations to convert it to a zero energy home.  This open house is an informal opportunity to talk to to the homeowner.   During renovations photovoltaic panels were installed to provide electricity, and a solar hot water system was added as well.  Other changes were make to make the home as efficient as possible.  As a result, this home has produced more power than it has consumed since April 2006.  To find out more about the renovation click here.
