Overview: This case study describes about the Bircher home which is not only energy efficient but also uses renewable energy systems, and takes a very practical approach to solar energy. The solar energy systems did not cost a fortune (about $9,000), cover the entire roof, or meet 100% of Bircher family's energy needs - however they do dramatically improve the home's overall energy efficiency. The Bircher home has two small 275 W grid-connected PV panels. The panels are mounted on top of the garage, over standard shingles.
