What makes it Green:
This bayfront "green" home is similar in concept to a hybrid automobile. It can run on public utilities or function equally as well on its own solar-powered electrical system and 7,500 gallon rainwater cistern. The entire home was built with the environment in mind while still offering all of the amenities of a luxury waterfront residence. It has been featured in numerous publications highlighting its energy-saving design.
This home's best feature is its location in a gated community, on one acre, with native hardwood forest and a natural white sand beach overlooking the watercolor views of the Gulf. There is a deep-water dock for your boats and a huge deck for enjoying the Florida Keys sunsets. Experience nature at its best.
Photovoltaic System (installed in 2002 & 2005)
2,800 watt, utility grid-tied system with battery back-up. Solar array consists of 24 Kyocera solar panels (each produces 120 watts at 48 volts), mounted on a UniRac mounting system and pitched at an angle of approximately 15 degrees facing southeast. Mounting hardware and installation specific to resist max uplift/wind-load rating, exceeding hurricane wind-load requirements.
Trace SW5548 inverter enclosed in weather-proof metal box
Eight 6-volt golf cart batteries 240 Ahr enclosed in weather-proof metal box
The home is 2,450-square-feet (under air) concrete construction with 1,400 square feet of porches and decks; three bedrooms, three baths, laundry room. Home is solar-powered and grid-connected and features solar hot water and a 7,500-gallon rainwater cistern with a water purification system. It was built with "green" products.
