Building a Spec Home? Skip this step. 

Our plans meet (and often exceed) the minimum DOE Net Zero Energy Ready Solar PV requirements.

Building a home for your family?

A family's electrical usage needs is very specific to your size & habits. 

Do you use a a microwave daily?  Are you at the oven 8 hours a day 7 days a week?! 

Are you good about turning off extra lights?Do you have a dozen computers?! 

Use an online calculator to estimate your electrical needs.

We've recently developed an Energy / Power Consumption Calculator to help our customers with this step!

With your electrical needs in hand, reference our Plan Book Comparison Table.  

Look at the estimated Solar PV columns, to verify which plans will meet your needs.

For ease, we have it as a single sheet PDF for download here:  https://netzerohomeplans.com/btf-plan-comparison-table 

With a list of plans that meet your electrical needs, review the design North arrows.
