Have you heard about the 'net-zero energy' home trend? It is a home or a residential property that generates more energy than it consumes. It is a sustainable trend that many homeowners have utilised. Even commercial properties can become net-zero properties. If you want to become a proud 'net-zero' homeowner, you can learn more about it.

Net-zero homes are places where people use solar for home. Apart from being sustainable, solar electricity can e�ectively reduce your carbon footprint drastically. With a few installments, your home can also become 100% solar dependent like thousands of other homeowners. You not only qualify as a net-zero home, but you can also rise to become a net-positive one! The excess electricity a household produces goes to the grid to decrease everyone's carbon footprint.
WHAT IS A ‘NET-ZERO’ HOUSEHOLD?

Reasons that drive people to commit to residential solar panel and becoming 'net-zero' are as follows.
1. Savings : Generally, homeowners have to pay for their monthly grid electricity from their provider, which is not cheap. Electricity bills never stop or become cheap. As the availability of fossil fuels decreases, the price of electricity production rises. As a result, there is a never-ending hike in bills. On the other hand, by going solar for home, you can tap into the free energy the sun provides and reduce (or eliminate) your electricity bills.
REASONS FOR GOING NET-ZERO

2. Policies Many states government and local government have their own policy. Let's we discuss about the Randwick city council has brought forth a progressive approach that has the potential to 'green' their homes. City Councils have codes that require new community developers and construction teams to include sustainable designs in their plans. They give up to five hundred dollars as solar rebates for each property that has gone for solar for home.
Since net-zero properties consistently deliver more savings to their occupants and less pollution for the rest of the community, the green building codes are becoming more and more popular.

People have come up with various ways they can become net-zero. But to become completely self-su�cient, most projects use a combination of all the following strategies.
1.Insulation : The first step is to insulate your home to prevent heat transfer, especially if you live in the colder parts of Australia. Similarly, you don't want cooled air to escape during the summer. Heat transfer is wasteful and expensive. Hence, insulation is your best friend.

2.Electrification This is a strategy to upgrade your gas-powered appliances with electric alternatives. You can electrify your stoves, ovens, furnaces, etc. If you make the switch, you can power them with renewable solar energy instead of fossil fuel.

3.Solar Power : Your property needs access to alternative and renewable power sources. Unlike oil, natural gas, coal, etc., solar energy is impressive. Recently, many providers now allow homeowners to choose their electric grid from sustainable sources such as wind, solar or hydro. If possible, you can opt for these to decrease your fossil fuel-based consumption.
