Seed Eco-Home Genealogy
From Open Source Ecology
- The stock model of the Seed Eco-Home comes with 6kW or 12kW of PV. This is sufficient to save $1-2k/year in energy bills. 6 hr*6kW*365 days=$1700 market value and for 12kW, it is $3400 market value of energy at 13 cents per kWhr. See Solar Energy for cost of electricity.
- Seed Eco-Home 2.0 is the 10x performance version of the house, which produces all of its electricity and household water from the sun and air. This includes water catchment for irrigation and possibility of year-round greenhouse. The 10x comes from thermal energy storage and from hydrogen energy.
- This leads to an honest analysis of lithium reserves and hydrogen feasibility. The answer is yes for hydrogen, but the world needs to be brought up to the concept. See Lithium Reserves
