Here is one of the first Eco houses - designed by Susan Roaf to explore what PV cells could do. It has been so successful that it is both net exporter of electricity and Sue manages to run her car off the roof as well!

The Oxford Solar House is the first low energy house in the United Kingdom with a fully integrated photovoltaic roof. It was designed to function as an ordinary standard family home which requires only a minimum amount of energy for heating, cooling and lighting. In order to optimise the value of the electricity generated by the photovoltaic system, the energy demand in the house was reduced by using all available energy saving technologies but without impairing the comfort of the occupants.
The house was built to evaluate the potential for photovoltaics to contribute cost effectively to domestic and industrial energy supply and to demonstrate the potential of solar energy to replace as much as possible the environmentally damaging electricity and gas supplies in a dwelling which result in carbon dioxide emissions that fuel climate change.
