The house has undergone upgrades to enhance energy efficiency and reduce utility costs. It boasts 74 Tesla solar panels on the roof that collect energy from dawn until sunset. Two Tesla storage batteries power the house when the sun sets. This system is designed to be off-grid, and Duke Energy purchases electricity from our system. We have an instant hot water system that allows simultaneous showers, baths, and appliance use.

A well is used to irrigate the three-quarter acres of grass and planting. Household water usage is less than $25 month.
