This document discusses the benefits of going solar, including saving money by stopping rising electricity rates, reducing one's carbon footprint, and receiving tax credits. It notes that San Diego has the highest electricity rates in the US and that rates will continue increasing. Going solar can save a homeowner over $100,000, provide a 17-25% annual return on investment, and increase property values. Quality solar products with long warranties are recommended over cheaper alternatives.

A Zero Energy Home (ZEH; often referred to as a net zero energy home) is a building that either uses no energy or one that generates as much energy as it uses. So, how does a home become a Zero Energy Home? All ZEH projects include these basic elements: vigorous energy conservation, renewable energy generation and a renewable energy-based heating system. However, the path to zero energy is unique to each home and family. Starting with why and how the owner wants to pursue zero energy, the path is also determined by house size and condition, renewable energy resource and the future needs of the family. Efficiency Vermont is investigating how to guide homeowners to retrofit their homes into ultra-low energy homes.
