New homes are able to be built which create more energy than they use by design, saving money in the construction process and rolling the savings into the solar component. These homes cost around the same as stick construction, but are stronger, quieter, and go up faster. The 4 bedroom 3 bath model home in Iowa produced 159% of it's own energy last year, certified by an Accountant.
