Less is More Zero is Everything
Acrersquos core mission is to deliver a more advanced home one thatrsquos sustainable efficient and which leverages technology to improve daily life
Herersquos how we accomplish that
Energy amp TechnologyOptions
What does it mean to be NetZero
NetZero simply means you produce as much power as you consume Typically this entails using solar panels to produce more energy than you need during peak daylight hours and selling that back to the utility then buying power from the grid at night
Balancing this to Zero is the goal
The Acre approach to NetZero
Our philosophy is to treat the entire home as an ecosystem We drive down the demand for energy by building a well-designed structure and using low-er-consuming equipment Then we monitor and automate the home to get the highest performance out of each element This allows us to supply your energy needs with a reasonable PV array and even offer the option to go off-grid entirely
Energy amp Tech NetZero amp PV
80 81
Standard PV Package
We provide between 35 and 6kWh depending on average energy needs for your climate
We have carefully selected the major home appliances and equipment to be low-consuming and we integrate technology that helps you monitor and balance energy use The rest of your equipment and your lifestyle habits will impact overall energy use As long as you keep an eye on usage NetZero is easily achievable in an Acre home If however you have specific energy demands several PV upgrades are available as well
Complete our Energy Use Analysis Survey to determine whether you are a low average or high energy user Based on these results we can discuss any upgrades you may require
Requires four PV panels per vehicle in most climates Compatible with most EVs
1-car $50002-car $8800
If you are a heavy energy user we can add panels to meet your demands Can be used to accommodate larger families heavy tools amp equipment or pools and hot tubs for example

Wersquoll work together to analyze your energy patterns and design a system that functions off-grid Includes analysis of local codes and permitting and required battery storage

NetZero simply means you produce as much power as you consume Typically this entails using solar panels to produce more energy than you need during peak daylight hours and selling that back to the utility then buying power from the grid at night
Balancing this to Zero is the goal
The Acre approach to NetZero
Our philosophy is to treat the entire home as an ecosystem We drive down the demand for energy by building a well-designed structure and using low-er-consuming equipment Then we monitor and automate the home to get the highest performance out of each element This allows us to supply your energy needs with a reasonable PV array and even offer the option to go off-grid entirely

Standard PV Package
We provide between 35 and 6kWh depending on average energy needs for your climate
We have carefully selected the major home appliances and equipment to be low-consuming and we integrate technology that helps you monitor and balance energy use The rest of your equipment and your lifestyle habits will impact overall energy use As long as you keep an eye on usage NetZero is easily achievable in an Acre home If however you have specific energy demands several PV upgrades are available as well
Complete our Energy Use Analysis Survey to determine whether you are a low average or high energy user Based on these results we can discuss any upgrades you may require
Requires four PV panels per vehicle in most climates Compatible with most EVs
1-car $50002-car $8800
If you are a heavy energy user we can add panels to meet your demands Can be used to accommodate larger families heavy tools amp equipment or pools and hot tubs for example

Less is More Zero is Everything
Acrersquos core mission is to deliver a more advanced home one thatrsquos sustainable efficient and which leverages technology to improve daily life
Herersquos how we accomplish that
Energy amp TechnologyOptions
What does it mean to be NetZero
NetZero simply means you produce as much power as you consume Typically this entails using solar panels to produce more energy than you need during peak daylight hours and selling that back to the utility then buying power from the grid at night
Balancing this to Zero is the goal
The Acre approach to NetZero
Our philosophy is to treat the entire home as an ecosystem We drive down the demand for energy by building a well-designed structure and using low-er-consuming equipment Then we monitor and automate the home to get the highest performance out of each element This allows us to supply your energy needs with a reasonable PV array and even offer the option to go off-grid entirely
Energy amp Tech NetZero amp PV
80 81
Standard PV Package
We provide between 35 and 6kWh depending on average energy needs for your climate
We have carefully selected the major home appliances and equipment to be low-consuming and we integrate technology that helps you monitor and balance energy use The rest of your equipment and your lifestyle habits will impact overall energy use As long as you keep an eye on usage NetZero is easily achievable in an Acre home If however you have specific energy demands several PV upgrades are available as well
Complete our Energy Use Analysis Survey to determine whether you are a low average or high energy user Based on these results we can discuss any upgrades you may require
Requires four PV panels per vehicle in most climates Compatible with most EVs
1-car $50002-car $8800
If you are a heavy energy user we can add panels to meet your demands Can be used to accommodate larger families heavy tools amp equipment or pools and hot tubs for example

Less is More Zero is Everything
Acrersquos core mission is to deliver a more advanced home one thatrsquos sustainable efficient and which leverages technology to improve daily life
Herersquos how we accomplish that
Energy amp TechnologyOptions
What does it mean to be NetZero
NetZero simply means you produce as much power as you consume Typically this entails using solar panels to produce more energy than you need during peak daylight hours and selling that back to the utility then buying power from the grid at night
Balancing this to Zero is the goal
The Acre approach to NetZero
Our philosophy is to treat the entire home as an ecosystem We drive down the demand for energy by building a well-designed structure and using low-er-consuming equipment Then we monitor and automate the home to get the highest performance out of each element This allows us to supply your energy needs with a reasonable PV array and even offer the option to go off-grid entirely
Energy amp Tech NetZero amp PV
80 81
Standard PV Package
We provide between 35 and 6kWh depending on average energy needs for your climate
We have carefully selected the major home appliances and equipment to be low-consuming and we integrate technology that helps you monitor and balance energy use The rest of your equipment and your lifestyle habits will impact overall energy use As long as you keep an eye on usage NetZero is easily achievable in an Acre home If however you have specific energy demands several PV upgrades are available as well
Complete our Energy Use Analysis Survey to determine whether you are a low average or high energy user Based on these results we can discuss any upgrades you may require
Requires four PV panels per vehicle in most climates Compatible with most EVs
1-car $50002-car $8800
If you are a heavy energy user we can add panels to meet your demands Can be used to accommodate larger families heavy tools amp equipment or pools and hot tubs for example

Less is More Zero is Everything
Acrersquos core mission is to deliver a more advanced home one thatrsquos sustainable efficient and which leverages technology to improve daily life
Herersquos how we accomplish that
Energy amp TechnologyOptions
What does it mean to be NetZero
NetZero simply means you produce as much power as you consume Typically this entails using solar panels to produce more energy than you need during peak daylight hours and selling that back to the utility then buying power from the grid at night
Balancing this to Zero is the goal
The Acre approach to NetZero
Our philosophy is to treat the entire home as an ecosystem We drive down the demand for energy by building a well-designed structure and using low-er-consuming equipment Then we monitor and automate the home to get the highest performance out of each element This allows us to supply your energy needs with a reasonable PV array and even offer the option to go off-grid entirely
Energy amp Tech NetZero amp PV
80 81
Standard PV Package
We provide between 35 and 6kWh depending on average energy needs for your climate
We have carefully selected the major home appliances and equipment to be low-consuming and we integrate technology that helps you monitor and balance energy use The rest of your equipment and your lifestyle habits will impact overall energy use As long as you keep an eye on usage NetZero is easily achievable in an Acre home If however you have specific energy demands several PV upgrades are available as well
Complete our Energy Use Analysis Survey to determine whether you are a low average or high energy user Based on these results we can discuss any upgrades you may require
Requires four PV panels per vehicle in most climates Compatible with most EVs
1-car $50002-car $8800
If you are a heavy energy user we can add panels to meet your demands Can be used to accommodate larger families heavy tools amp equipment or pools and hot tubs for example

Less is More Zero is Everything
Acrersquos core mission is to deliver a more advanced home one thatrsquos sustainable efficient and which leverages technology to improve daily life
Herersquos how we accomplish that
Energy amp TechnologyOptions
What does it mean to be NetZero
NetZero simply means you produce as much power as you consume Typically this entails using solar panels to produce more energy than you need during peak daylight hours and selling that back to the utility then buying power from the grid at night
Balancing this to Zero is the goal
The Acre approach to NetZero
Our philosophy is to treat the entire home as an ecosystem We drive down the demand for energy by building a well-designed structure and using low-er-consuming equipment Then we monitor and automate the home to get the highest performance out of each element This allows us to supply your energy needs with a reasonable PV array and even offer the option to go off-grid entirely
Energy amp Tech NetZero amp PV
80 81
Standard PV Package
We provide between 35 and 6kWh depending on average energy needs for your climate
We have carefully selected the major home appliances and equipment to be low-consuming and we integrate technology that helps you monitor and balance energy use The rest of your equipment and your lifestyle habits will impact overall energy use As long as you keep an eye on usage NetZero is easily achievable in an Acre home If however you have specific energy demands several PV upgrades are available as well
Complete our Energy Use Analysis Survey to determine whether you are a low average or high energy user Based on these results we can discuss any upgrades you may require
Requires four PV panels per vehicle in most climates Compatible with most EVs
1-car $50002-car $8800
If you are a heavy energy user we can add panels to meet your demands Can be used to accommodate larger families heavy tools amp equipment or pools and hot tubs for example

Less is More Zero is Everything
Acrersquos core mission is to deliver a more advanced home one thatrsquos sustainable efficient and which leverages technology to improve daily life
Herersquos how we accomplish that
Energy amp TechnologyOptions
What does it mean to be NetZero
NetZero simply means you produce as much power as you consume Typically this entails using solar panels to produce more energy than you need during peak daylight hours and selling that back to the utility then buying power from the grid at night
Balancing this to Zero is the goal
The Acre approach to NetZero
Our philosophy is to treat the entire home as an ecosystem We drive down the demand for energy by building a well-designed structure and using low-er-consuming equipment Then we monitor and automate the home to get the highest performance out of each element This allows us to supply your energy needs with a reasonable PV array and even offer the option to go off-grid entirely
Energy amp Tech NetZero amp PV
80 81
Standard PV Package
We provide between 35 and 6kWh depending on average energy needs for your climate
We have carefully selected the major home appliances and equipment to be low-consuming and we integrate technology that helps you monitor and balance energy use The rest of your equipment and your lifestyle habits will impact overall energy use As long as you keep an eye on usage NetZero is easily achievable in an Acre home If however you have specific energy demands several PV upgrades are available as well
Complete our Energy Use Analysis Survey to determine whether you are a low average or high energy user Based on these results we can discuss any upgrades you may require
Requires four PV panels per vehicle in most climates Compatible with most EVs
1-car $50002-car $8800
If you are a heavy energy user we can add panels to meet your demands Can be used to accommodate larger families heavy tools amp equipment or pools and hot tubs for example

Less is More Zero is Everything
Acrersquos core mission is to deliver a more advanced home one thatrsquos sustainable efficient and which leverages technology to improve daily life
Herersquos how we accomplish that
Energy amp TechnologyOptions
What does it mean to be NetZero
NetZero simply means you produce as much power as you consume Typically this entails using solar panels to produce more energy than you need during peak daylight hours and selling that back to the utility then buying power from the grid at night
Balancing this to Zero is the goal
The Acre approach to NetZero
Our philosophy is to treat the entire home as an ecosystem We drive down the demand for energy by building a well-designed structure and using low-er-consuming equipment Then we monitor and automate the home to get the highest performance out of each element This allows us to supply your energy needs with a reasonable PV array and even offer the option to go off-grid entirely
Energy amp Tech NetZero amp PV
80 81
Standard PV Package
We provide between 35 and 6kWh depending on average energy needs for your climate
We have carefully selected the major home appliances and equipment to be low-consuming and we integrate technology that helps you monitor and balance energy use The rest of your equipment and your lifestyle habits will impact overall energy use As long as you keep an eye on usage NetZero is easily achievable in an Acre home If however you have specific energy demands several PV upgrades are available as well
Complete our Energy Use Analysis Survey to determine whether you are a low average or high energy user Based on these results we can discuss any upgrades you may require
Requires four PV panels per vehicle in most climates Compatible with most EVs
1-car $50002-car $8800
If you are a heavy energy user we can add panels to meet your demands Can be used to accommodate larger families heavy tools amp equipment or pools and hot tubs for example

Less is More Zero is Everything
Acrersquos core mission is to deliver a more advanced home one thatrsquos sustainable efficient and which leverages technology to improve daily life
Herersquos how we accomplish that
Energy amp TechnologyOptions
What does it mean to be NetZero
NetZero simply means you produce as much power as you consume Typically this entails using solar panels to produce more energy than you need during peak daylight hours and selling that back to the utility then buying power from the grid at night
Balancing this to Zero is the goal
The Acre approach to NetZero
Our philosophy is to treat the entire home as an ecosystem We drive down the demand for energy by building a well-designed structure and using low-er-consuming equipment Then we monitor and automate the home to get the highest performance out of each element This allows us to supply your energy needs with a reasonable PV array and even offer the option to go off-grid entirely
Energy amp Tech NetZero amp PV
80 81
Standard PV Package
We provide between 35 and 6kWh depending on average energy needs for your climate
We have carefully selected the major home appliances and equipment to be low-consuming and we integrate technology that helps you monitor and balance energy use The rest of your equipment and your lifestyle habits will impact overall energy use As long as you keep an eye on usage NetZero is easily achievable in an Acre home If however you have specific energy demands several PV upgrades are available as well
Complete our Energy Use Analysis Survey to determine whether you are a low average or high energy user Based on these results we can discuss any upgrades you may require
Requires four PV panels per vehicle in most climates Compatible with most EVs
1-car $50002-car $8800
If you are a heavy energy user we can add panels to meet your demands Can be used to accommodate larger families heavy tools amp equipment or pools and hot tubs for example

Less is More Zero is Everything
Acrersquos core mission is to deliver a more advanced home one thatrsquos sustainable efficient and which leverages technology to improve daily life
Herersquos how we accomplish that
Energy amp TechnologyOptions
What does it mean to be NetZero
NetZero simply means you produce as much power as you consume Typically this entails using solar panels to produce more energy than you need during peak daylight hours and selling that back to the utility then buying power from the grid at night
Balancing this to Zero is the goal
The Acre approach to NetZero
Our philosophy is to treat the entire home as an ecosystem We drive down the demand for energy by building a well-designed structure and using low-er-consuming equipment Then we monitor and automate the home to get the highest performance out of each element This allows us to supply your energy needs with a reasonable PV array and even offer the option to go off-grid entirely
Energy amp Tech NetZero amp PV
80 81
Standard PV Package
We provide between 35 and 6kWh depending on average energy needs for your climate
We have carefully selected the major home appliances and equipment to be low-consuming and we integrate technology that helps you monitor and balance energy use The rest of your equipment and your lifestyle habits will impact overall energy use As long as you keep an eye on usage NetZero is easily achievable in an Acre home If however you have specific energy demands several PV upgrades are available as well
Complete our Energy Use Analysis Survey to determine whether you are a low average or high energy user Based on these results we can discuss any upgrades you may require
Requires four PV panels per vehicle in most climates Compatible with most EVs
1-car $50002-car $8800
If you are a heavy energy user we can add panels to meet your demands Can be used to accommodate larger families heavy tools amp equipment or pools and hot tubs for example

Less is More Zero is Everything
Acrersquos core mission is to deliver a more advanced home one thatrsquos sustainable efficient and which leverages technology to improve daily life
Herersquos how we accomplish that
Energy amp TechnologyOptions
What does it mean to be NetZero
NetZero simply means you produce as much power as you consume Typically this entails using solar panels to produce more energy than you need during peak daylight hours and selling that back to the utility then buying power from the grid at night
Balancing this to Zero is the goal
The Acre approach to NetZero
Our philosophy is to treat the entire home as an ecosystem We drive down the demand for energy by building a well-designed structure and using low-er-consuming equipment Then we monitor and automate the home to get the highest performance out of each element This allows us to supply your energy needs with a reasonable PV array and even offer the option to go off-grid entirely
Energy amp Tech NetZero amp PV
80 81
Standard PV Package
We provide between 35 and 6kWh depending on average energy needs for your climate
We have carefully selected the major home appliances and equipment to be low-consuming and we integrate technology that helps you monitor and balance energy use The rest of your equipment and your lifestyle habits will impact overall energy use As long as you keep an eye on usage NetZero is easily achievable in an Acre home If however you have specific energy demands several PV upgrades are available as well
Complete our Energy Use Analysis Survey to determine whether you are a low average or high energy user Based on these results we can discuss any upgrades you may require
Requires four PV panels per vehicle in most climates Compatible with most EVs
1-car $50002-car $8800
If you are a heavy energy user we can add panels to meet your demands Can be used to accommodate larger families heavy tools amp equipment or pools and hot tubs for example

Wersquoll work together to analyze your energy patterns and design a system that functions off-grid Includes analysis of local codes and permitting and required battery storage

Less is More Zero is Everything
Acrersquos core mission is to deliver a more advanced home one thatrsquos sustainable efficient and which leverages technology to improve daily life
Herersquos how we accomplish that
Energy amp TechnologyOptions
What does it mean to be NetZero
NetZero simply means you produce as much power as you consume Typically this entails using solar panels to produce more energy than you need during peak daylight hours and selling that back to the utility then buying power from the grid at night
Balancing this to Zero is the goal
The Acre approach to NetZero
Our philosophy is to treat the entire home as an ecosystem We drive down the demand for energy by building a well-designed structure and using low-er-consuming equipment Then we monitor and automate the home to get the highest performance out of each element This allows us to supply your energy needs with a reasonable PV array and even offer the option to go off-grid entirely
Energy amp Tech NetZero amp PV
80 81
Standard PV Package
We provide between 35 and 6kWh depending on average energy needs for your climate
We have carefully selected the major home appliances and equipment to be low-consuming and we integrate technology that helps you monitor and balance energy use The rest of your equipment and your lifestyle habits will impact overall energy use As long as you keep an eye on usage NetZero is easily achievable in an Acre home If however you have specific energy demands several PV upgrades are available as well
Complete our Energy Use Analysis Survey to determine whether you are a low average or high energy user Based on these results we can discuss any upgrades you may require
Requires four PV panels per vehicle in most climates Compatible with most EVs
1-car $50002-car $8800
If you are a heavy energy user we can add panels to meet your demands Can be used to accommodate larger families heavy tools amp equipment or pools and hot tubs for example

Wersquoll work together to analyze your energy patterns and design a system that functions off-grid Includes analysis of local codes and permitting and required battery storage

Less is More Zero is Everything
Acrersquos core mission is to deliver a more advanced home one thatrsquos sustainable efficient and which leverages technology to improve daily life
Herersquos how we accomplish that
Energy amp TechnologyOptions
What does it mean to be NetZero
NetZero simply means you produce as much power as you consume Typically this entails using solar panels to produce more energy than you need during peak daylight hours and selling that back to the utility then buying power from the grid at night
Balancing this to Zero is the goal
The Acre approach to NetZero
Our philosophy is to treat the entire home as an ecosystem We drive down the demand for energy by building a well-designed structure and using low-er-consuming equipment Then we monitor and automate the home to get the highest performance out of each element This allows us to supply your energy needs with a reasonable PV array and even offer the option to go off-grid entirely
Energy amp Tech NetZero amp PV
80 81
Standard PV Package
We provide between 35 and 6kWh depending on average energy needs for your climate
We have carefully selected the major home appliances and equipment to be low-consuming and we integrate technology that helps you monitor and balance energy use The rest of your equipment and your lifestyle habits will impact overall energy use As long as you keep an eye on usage NetZero is easily achievable in an Acre home If however you have specific energy demands several PV upgrades are available as well
Complete our Energy Use Analysis Survey to determine whether you are a low average or high energy user Based on these results we can discuss any upgrades you may require
Requires four PV panels per vehicle in most climates Compatible with most EVs
1-car $50002-car $8800
If you are a heavy energy user we can add panels to meet your demands Can be used to accommodate larger families heavy tools amp equipment or pools and hot tubs for example

Wersquoll work together to analyze your energy patterns and design a system that functions off-grid Includes analysis of local codes and permitting and required battery storage

Less is More Zero is Everything
Acrersquos core mission is to deliver a more advanced home one thatrsquos sustainable efficient and which leverages technology to improve daily life
Herersquos how we accomplish that
Energy amp TechnologyOptions
What does it mean to be NetZero
NetZero simply means you produce as much power as you consume Typically this entails using solar panels to produce more energy than you need during peak daylight hours and selling that back to the utility then buying power from the grid at night
Balancing this to Zero is the goal
The Acre approach to NetZero
Our philosophy is to treat the entire home as an ecosystem We drive down the demand for energy by building a well-designed structure and using low-er-consuming equipment Then we monitor and automate the home to get the highest performance out of each element This allows us to supply your energy needs with a reasonable PV array and even offer the option to go off-grid entirely
Energy amp Tech NetZero amp PV
80 81
Standard PV Package
We provide between 35 and 6kWh depending on average energy needs for your climate
We have carefully selected the major home appliances and equipment to be low-consuming and we integrate technology that helps you monitor and balance energy use The rest of your equipment and your lifestyle habits will impact overall energy use As long as you keep an eye on usage NetZero is easily achievable in an Acre home If however you have specific energy demands several PV upgrades are available as well
Complete our Energy Use Analysis Survey to determine whether you are a low average or high energy user Based on these results we can discuss any upgrades you may require
Requires four PV panels per vehicle in most climates Compatible with most EVs
1-car $50002-car $8800
If you are a heavy energy user we can add panels to meet your demands Can be used to accommodate larger families heavy tools amp equipment or pools and hot tubs for example

Wersquoll work together to analyze your energy patterns and design a system that functions off-grid Includes analysis of local codes and permitting and required battery storage

Less is More Zero is Everything
Acrersquos core mission is to deliver a more advanced home one thatrsquos sustainable efficient and which leverages technology to improve daily life
Herersquos how we accomplish that
Energy amp TechnologyOptions
What does it mean to be NetZero
NetZero simply means you produce as much power as you consume Typically this entails using solar panels to produce more energy than you need during peak daylight hours and selling that back to the utility then buying power from the grid at night
Balancing this to Zero is the goal
The Acre approach to NetZero
Our philosophy is to treat the entire home as an ecosystem We drive down the demand for energy by building a well-designed structure and using low-er-consuming equipment Then we monitor and automate the home to get the highest performance out of each element This allows us to supply your energy needs with a reasonable PV array and even offer the option to go off-grid entirely
Energy amp Tech NetZero amp PV
80 81
Standard PV Package
We provide between 35 and 6kWh depending on average energy needs for your climate
We have carefully selected the major home appliances and equipment to be low-consuming and we integrate technology that helps you monitor and balance energy use The rest of your equipment and your lifestyle habits will impact overall energy use As long as you keep an eye on usage NetZero is easily achievable in an Acre home If however you have specific energy demands several PV upgrades are available as well
Complete our Energy Use Analysis Survey to determine whether you are a low average or high energy user Based on these results we can discuss any upgrades you may require
Requires four PV panels per vehicle in most climates Compatible with most EVs
1-car $50002-car $8800
If you are a heavy energy user we can add panels to meet your demands Can be used to accommodate larger families heavy tools amp equipment or pools and hot tubs for example

Less is More Zero is Everything
Acrersquos core mission is to deliver a more advanced home one thatrsquos sustainable efficient and which leverages technology to improve daily life
Herersquos how we accomplish that
Energy amp TechnologyOptions
What does it mean to be NetZero
NetZero simply means you produce as much power as you consume Typically this entails using solar panels to produce more energy than you need during peak daylight hours and selling that back to the utility then buying power from the grid at night
Balancing this to Zero is the goal
The Acre approach to NetZero
Our philosophy is to treat the entire home as an ecosystem We drive down the demand for energy by building a well-designed structure and using low-er-consuming equipment Then we monitor and automate the home to get the highest performance out of each element This allows us to supply your energy needs with a reasonable PV array and even offer the option to go off-grid entirely
Energy amp Tech NetZero amp PV
80 81
Standard PV Package
We provide between 35 and 6kWh depending on average energy needs for your climate
We have carefully selected the major home appliances and equipment to be low-consuming and we integrate technology that helps you monitor and balance energy use The rest of your equipment and your lifestyle habits will impact overall energy use As long as you keep an eye on usage NetZero is easily achievable in an Acre home If however you have specific energy demands several PV upgrades are available as well
Complete our Energy Use Analysis Survey to determine whether you are a low average or high energy user Based on these results we can discuss any upgrades you may require
Requires four PV panels per vehicle in most climates Compatible with most EVs
1-car $50002-car $8800
If you are a heavy energy user we can add panels to meet your demands Can be used to accommodate larger families heavy tools amp equipment or pools and hot tubs for example

Less is More Zero is Everything
Acrersquos core mission is to deliver a more advanced home one thatrsquos sustainable efficient and which leverages technology to improve daily life
Herersquos how we accomplish that
Energy amp TechnologyOptions
What does it mean to be NetZero
NetZero simply means you produce as much power as you consume Typically this entails using solar panels to produce more energy than you need during peak daylight hours and selling that back to the utility then buying power from the grid at night
Balancing this to Zero is the goal
The Acre approach to NetZero
Our philosophy is to treat the entire home as an ecosystem We drive down the demand for energy by building a well-designed structure and using low-er-consuming equipment Then we monitor and automate the home to get the highest performance out of each element This allows us to supply your energy needs with a reasonable PV array and even offer the option to go off-grid entirely
Energy amp Tech NetZero amp PV
80 81
Standard PV Package
We provide between 35 and 6kWh depending on average energy needs for your climate
We have carefully selected the major home appliances and equipment to be low-consuming and we integrate technology that helps you monitor and balance energy use The rest of your equipment and your lifestyle habits will impact overall energy use As long as you keep an eye on usage NetZero is easily achievable in an Acre home If however you have specific energy demands several PV upgrades are available as well
Complete our Energy Use Analysis Survey to determine whether you are a low average or high energy user Based on these results we can discuss any upgrades you may require
Requires four PV panels per vehicle in most climates Compatible with most EVs
1-car $50002-car $8800
If you are a heavy energy user we can add panels to meet your demands Can be used to accommodate larger families heavy tools amp equipment or pools and hot tubs for example

Wersquoll work together to analyze your energy patterns and design a system that functions off-grid Includes analysis of local codes and permitting and required battery storage

Less is More Zero is Everything
Acrersquos core mission is to deliver a more advanced home one thatrsquos sustainable efficient and which leverages technology to improve daily life
Herersquos how we accomplish that
Energy amp TechnologyOptions
What does it mean to be NetZero
NetZero simply means you produce as much power as you consume Typically this entails using solar panels to produce more energy than you need during peak daylight hours and selling that back to the utility then buying power from the grid at night
Balancing this to Zero is the goal
The Acre approach to NetZero
Our philosophy is to treat the entire home as an ecosystem We drive down the demand for energy by building a well-designed structure and using low-er-consuming equipment Then we monitor and automate the home to get the highest performance out of each element This allows us to supply your energy needs with a reasonable PV array and even offer the option to go off-grid entirely
Energy amp Tech NetZero amp PV
80 81
Standard PV Package
We provide between 35 and 6kWh depending on average energy needs for your climate
We have carefully selected the major home appliances and equipment to be low-consuming and we integrate technology that helps you monitor and balance energy use The rest of your equipment and your lifestyle habits will impact overall energy use As long as you keep an eye on usage NetZero is easily achievable in an Acre home If however you have specific energy demands several PV upgrades are available as well
Complete our Energy Use Analysis Survey to determine whether you are a low average or high energy user Based on these results we can discuss any upgrades you may require
Requires four PV panels per vehicle in most climates Compatible with most EVs
1-car $50002-car $8800
If you are a heavy energy user we can add panels to meet your demands Can be used to accommodate larger families heavy tools amp equipment or pools and hot tubs for example

Wersquoll work together to analyze your energy patterns and design a system that functions off-grid Includes analysis of local codes and permitting and required battery storage

Less is More Zero is Everything
Acrersquos core mission is to deliver a more advanced home one thatrsquos sustainable efficient and which leverages technology to improve daily life
Herersquos how we accomplish that
Energy amp TechnologyOptions
What does it mean to be NetZero
NetZero simply means you produce as much power as you consume Typically this entails using solar panels to produce more energy than you need during peak daylight hours and selling that back to the utility then buying power from the grid at night
Balancing this to Zero is the goal
The Acre approach to NetZero
Our philosophy is to treat the entire home as an ecosystem We drive down the demand for energy by building a well-designed structure and using low-er-consuming equipment Then we monitor and automate the home to get the highest performance out of each element This allows us to supply your energy needs with a reasonable PV array and even offer the option to go off-grid entirely
Energy amp Tech NetZero amp PV
80 81
Standard PV Package
We provide between 35 and 6kWh depending on average energy needs for your climate
We have carefully selected the major home appliances and equipment to be low-consuming and we integrate technology that helps you monitor and balance energy use The rest of your equipment and your lifestyle habits will impact overall energy use As long as you keep an eye on usage NetZero is easily achievable in an Acre home If however you have specific energy demands several PV upgrades are available as well
Complete our Energy Use Analysis Survey to determine whether you are a low average or high energy user Based on these results we can discuss any upgrades you may require
Requires four PV panels per vehicle in most climates Compatible with most EVs
1-car $50002-car $8800
If you are a heavy energy user we can add panels to meet your demands Can be used to accommodate larger families heavy tools amp equipment or pools and hot tubs for example

Less is More Zero is Everything
Acrersquos core mission is to deliver a more advanced home one thatrsquos sustainable efficient and which leverages technology to improve daily life
Herersquos how we accomplish that
Energy amp TechnologyOptions
What does it mean to be NetZero
NetZero simply means you produce as much power as you consume Typically this entails using solar panels to produce more energy than you need during peak daylight hours and selling that back to the utility then buying power from the grid at night
Balancing this to Zero is the goal
The Acre approach to NetZero
Our philosophy is to treat the entire home as an ecosystem We drive down the demand for energy by building a well-designed structure and using low-er-consuming equipment Then we monitor and automate the home to get the highest performance out of each element This allows us to supply your energy needs with a reasonable PV array and even offer the option to go off-grid entirely
Energy amp Tech NetZero amp PV
80 81
Standard PV Package
We provide between 35 and 6kWh depending on average energy needs for your climate
We have carefully selected the major home appliances and equipment to be low-consuming and we integrate technology that helps you monitor and balance energy use The rest of your equipment and your lifestyle habits will impact overall energy use As long as you keep an eye on usage NetZero is easily achievable in an Acre home If however you have specific energy demands several PV upgrades are available as well
Complete our Energy Use Analysis Survey to determine whether you are a low average or high energy user Based on these results we can discuss any upgrades you may require
Requires four PV panels per vehicle in most climates Compatible with most EVs
1-car $50002-car $8800
If you are a heavy energy user we can add panels to meet your demands Can be used to accommodate larger families heavy tools amp equipment or pools and hot tubs for example

Wersquoll work together to analyze your energy patterns and design a system that functions off-grid Includes analysis of local codes and permitting and required battery storage

Less is More Zero is Everything
Acrersquos core mission is to deliver a more advanced home one thatrsquos sustainable efficient and which leverages technology to improve daily life
Herersquos how we accomplish that
Energy amp TechnologyOptions
What does it mean to be NetZero
NetZero simply means you produce as much power as you consume Typically this entails using solar panels to produce more energy than you need during peak daylight hours and selling that back to the utility then buying power from the grid at night
Balancing this to Zero is the goal
The Acre approach to NetZero
Our philosophy is to treat the entire home as an ecosystem We drive down the demand for energy by building a well-designed structure and using low-er-consuming equipment Then we monitor and automate the home to get the highest performance out of each element This allows us to supply your energy needs with a reasonable PV array and even offer the option to go off-grid entirely
Energy amp Tech NetZero amp PV
80 81
Standard PV Package
We provide between 35 and 6kWh depending on average energy needs for your climate
We have carefully selected the major home appliances and equipment to be low-consuming and we integrate technology that helps you monitor and balance energy use The rest of your equipment and your lifestyle habits will impact overall energy use As long as you keep an eye on usage NetZero is easily achievable in an Acre home If however you have specific energy demands several PV upgrades are available as well
Complete our Energy Use Analysis Survey to determine whether you are a low average or high energy user Based on these results we can discuss any upgrades you may require
Requires four PV panels per vehicle in most climates Compatible with most EVs
1-car $50002-car $8800
If you are a heavy energy user we can add panels to meet your demands Can be used to accommodate larger families heavy tools amp equipment or pools and hot tubs for example

Less is More Zero is Everything
Acrersquos core mission is to deliver a more advanced home one thatrsquos sustainable efficient and which leverages technology to improve daily life
Herersquos how we accomplish that
Energy amp TechnologyOptions
What does it mean to be NetZero
NetZero simply means you produce as much power as you consume Typically this entails using solar panels to produce more energy than you need during peak daylight hours and selling that back to the utility then buying power from the grid at night
Balancing this to Zero is the goal
The Acre approach to NetZero
Our philosophy is to treat the entire home as an ecosystem We drive down the demand for energy by building a well-designed structure and using low-er-consuming equipment Then we monitor and automate the home to get the highest performance out of each element This allows us to supply your energy needs with a reasonable PV array and even offer the option to go off-grid entirely
Energy amp Tech NetZero amp PV
80 81
Standard PV Package
We provide between 35 and 6kWh depending on average energy needs for your climate
We have carefully selected the major home appliances and equipment to be low-consuming and we integrate technology that helps you monitor and balance energy use The rest of your equipment and your lifestyle habits will impact overall energy use As long as you keep an eye on usage NetZero is easily achievable in an Acre home If however you have specific energy demands several PV upgrades are available as well
Complete our Energy Use Analysis Survey to determine whether you are a low average or high energy user Based on these results we can discuss any upgrades you may require
Requires four PV panels per vehicle in most climates Compatible with most EVs
1-car $50002-car $8800
If you are a heavy energy user we can add panels to meet your demands Can be used to accommodate larger families heavy tools amp equipment or pools and hot tubs for example

Wersquoll work together to analyze your energy patterns and design a system that functions off-grid Includes analysis of local codes and permitting and required battery storage

Less is More Zero is Everything
Acrersquos core mission is to deliver a more advanced home one thatrsquos sustainable efficient and which leverages technology to improve daily life
Herersquos how we accomplish that
Energy amp TechnologyOptions
What does it mean to be NetZero
NetZero simply means you produce as much power as you consume Typically this entails using solar panels to produce more energy than you need during peak daylight hours and selling that back to the utility then buying power from the grid at night
Balancing this to Zero is the goal
The Acre approach to NetZero
Our philosophy is to treat the entire home as an ecosystem We drive down the demand for energy by building a well-designed structure and using low-er-consuming equipment Then we monitor and automate the home to get the highest performance out of each element This allows us to supply your energy needs with a reasonable PV array and even offer the option to go off-grid entirely
Energy amp Tech NetZero amp PV
80 81
Standard PV Package
We provide between 35 and 6kWh depending on average energy needs for your climate
We have carefully selected the major home appliances and equipment to be low-consuming and we integrate technology that helps you monitor and balance energy use The rest of your equipment and your lifestyle habits will impact overall energy use As long as you keep an eye on usage NetZero is easily achievable in an Acre home If however you have specific energy demands several PV upgrades are available as well
Complete our Energy Use Analysis Survey to determine whether you are a low average or high energy user Based on these results we can discuss any upgrades you may require
Requires four PV panels per vehicle in most climates Compatible with most EVs
1-car $50002-car $8800
If you are a heavy energy user we can add panels to meet your demands Can be used to accommodate larger families heavy tools amp equipment or pools and hot tubs for example

Less is More Zero is Everything
Acrersquos core mission is to deliver a more advanced home one thatrsquos sustainable efficient and which leverages technology to improve daily life
Herersquos how we accomplish that
Energy amp TechnologyOptions
What does it mean to be NetZero
NetZero simply means you produce as much power as you consume Typically this entails using solar panels to produce more energy than you need during peak daylight hours and selling that back to the utility then buying power from the grid at night
Balancing this to Zero is the goal
The Acre approach to NetZero
Our philosophy is to treat the entire home as an ecosystem We drive down the demand for energy by building a well-designed structure and using low-er-consuming equipment Then we monitor and automate the home to get the highest performance out of each element This allows us to supply your energy needs with a reasonable PV array and even offer the option to go off-grid entirely
Energy amp Tech NetZero amp PV
80 81
Standard PV Package
We provide between 35 and 6kWh depending on average energy needs for your climate
We have carefully selected the major home appliances and equipment to be low-consuming and we integrate technology that helps you monitor and balance energy use The rest of your equipment and your lifestyle habits will impact overall energy use As long as you keep an eye on usage NetZero is easily achievable in an Acre home If however you have specific energy demands several PV upgrades are available as well
Complete our Energy Use Analysis Survey to determine whether you are a low average or high energy user Based on these results we can discuss any upgrades you may require
Requires four PV panels per vehicle in most climates Compatible with most EVs
1-car $50002-car $8800
If you are a heavy energy user we can add panels to meet your demands Can be used to accommodate larger families heavy tools amp equipment or pools and hot tubs for example

Less is More Zero is Everything
Acrersquos core mission is to deliver a more advanced home one thatrsquos sustainable efficient and which leverages technology to improve daily life
Herersquos how we accomplish that
Energy amp TechnologyOptions
What does it mean to be NetZero
NetZero simply means you produce as much power as you consume Typically this entails using solar panels to produce more energy than you need during peak daylight hours and selling that back to the utility then buying power from the grid at night
Balancing this to Zero is the goal
The Acre approach to NetZero
Our philosophy is to treat the entire home as an ecosystem We drive down the demand for energy by building a well-designed structure and using low-er-consuming equipment Then we monitor and automate the home to get the highest performance out of each element This allows us to supply your energy needs with a reasonable PV array and even offer the option to go off-grid entirely
Energy amp Tech NetZero amp PV
80 81
Standard PV Package
We provide between 35 and 6kWh depending on average energy needs for your climate
We have carefully selected the major home appliances and equipment to be low-consuming and we integrate technology that helps you monitor and balance energy use The rest of your equipment and your lifestyle habits will impact overall energy use As long as you keep an eye on usage NetZero is easily achievable in an Acre home If however you have specific energy demands several PV upgrades are available as well
Complete our Energy Use Analysis Survey to determine whether you are a low average or high energy user Based on these results we can discuss any upgrades you may require
Requires four PV panels per vehicle in most climates Compatible with most EVs
1-car $50002-car $8800
If you are a heavy energy user we can add panels to meet your demands Can be used to accommodate larger families heavy tools amp equipment or pools and hot tubs for example

Our philosophy is to treat the entire home as an ecosystem We drive down the demand for energy by building a well-designed structure and using low-er-consuming equipment Then we monitor and automate the home to get the highest performance out of each element This allows us to supply your energy needs with a reasonable PV array and even offer the option to go off-grid entirely
Energy amp Tech NetZero amp PV
80 81
Standard PV Package
We provide between 35 and 6kWh depending on average energy needs for your climate
We have carefully selected the major home appliances and equipment to be low-consuming and we integrate technology that helps you monitor and balance energy use The rest of your equipment and your lifestyle habits will impact overall energy use As long as you keep an eye on usage NetZero is easily achievable in an Acre home If however you have specific energy demands several PV upgrades are available as well
Complete our Energy Use Analysis Survey to determine whether you are a low average or high energy user Based on these results we can discuss any upgrades you may require
Requires four PV panels per vehicle in most climates Compatible with most EVs
1-car $50002-car $8800
If you are a heavy energy user we can add panels to meet your demands Can be used to accommodate larger families heavy tools amp equipment or pools and hot tubs for example

Herersquos how we accomplish that
Energy amp TechnologyOptions
What does it mean to be NetZero
NetZero simply means you produce as much power as you consume Typically this entails using solar panels to produce more energy than you need during peak daylight hours and selling that back to the utility then buying power from the grid at night
Balancing this to Zero is the goal
The Acre approach to NetZero
Our philosophy is to treat the entire home as an ecosystem We drive down the demand for energy by building a well-designed structure and using low-er-consuming equipment Then we monitor and automate the home to get the highest performance out of each element This allows us to supply your energy needs with a reasonable PV array and even offer the option to go off-grid entirely

Less is More Zero is Everything
Acrersquos core mission is to deliver a more advanced home one thatrsquos sustainable efficient and which leverages technology to improve daily life
Herersquos how we accomplish that
Energy amp TechnologyOptions
What does it mean to be NetZero
NetZero simply means you produce as much power as you consume Typically this entails using solar panels to produce more energy than you need during peak daylight hours and selling that back to the utility then buying power from the grid at night
Balancing this to Zero is the goal
The Acre approach to NetZero
Our philosophy is to treat the entire home as an ecosystem We drive down the demand for energy by building a well-designed structure and using low-er-consuming equipment Then we monitor and automate the home to get the highest performance out of each element This allows us to supply your energy needs with a reasonable PV array and even offer the option to go off-grid entirely
Energy amp Tech NetZero amp PV
80 81
Standard PV Package
We provide between 35 and 6kWh depending on average energy needs for your climate
We have carefully selected the major home appliances and equipment to be low-consuming and we integrate technology that helps you monitor and balance energy use The rest of your equipment and your lifestyle habits will impact overall energy use As long as you keep an eye on usage NetZero is easily achievable in an Acre home If however you have specific energy demands several PV upgrades are available as well
Complete our Energy Use Analysis Survey to determine whether you are a low average or high energy user Based on these results we can discuss any upgrades you may require
Requires four PV panels per vehicle in most climates Compatible with most EVs
1-car $50002-car $8800
If you are a heavy energy user we can add panels to meet your demands Can be used to accommodate larger families heavy tools amp equipment or pools and hot tubs for example

Less is More Zero is Everything
Acrersquos core mission is to deliver a more advanced home one thatrsquos sustainable efficient and which leverages technology to improve daily life
Herersquos how we accomplish that
Energy amp TechnologyOptions
What does it mean to be NetZero
NetZero simply means you produce as much power as you consume Typically this entails using solar panels to produce more energy than you need during peak daylight hours and selling that back to the utility then buying power from the grid at night
Balancing this to Zero is the goal
The Acre approach to NetZero
Our philosophy is to treat the entire home as an ecosystem We drive down the demand for energy by building a well-designed structure and using low-er-consuming equipment Then we monitor and automate the home to get the highest performance out of each element This allows us to supply your energy needs with a reasonable PV array and even offer the option to go off-grid entirely
Energy amp Tech NetZero amp PV
80 81
Standard PV Package
We provide between 35 and 6kWh depending on average energy needs for your climate
We have carefully selected the major home appliances and equipment to be low-consuming and we integrate technology that helps you monitor and balance energy use The rest of your equipment and your lifestyle habits will impact overall energy use As long as you keep an eye on usage NetZero is easily achievable in an Acre home If however you have specific energy demands several PV upgrades are available as well
Complete our Energy Use Analysis Survey to determine whether you are a low average or high energy user Based on these results we can discuss any upgrades you may require
Requires four PV panels per vehicle in most climates Compatible with most EVs
1-car $50002-car $8800
If you are a heavy energy user we can add panels to meet your demands Can be used to accommodate larger families heavy tools amp equipment or pools and hot tubs for example

Less is More Zero is Everything
Acrersquos core mission is to deliver a more advanced home one thatrsquos sustainable efficient and which leverages technology to improve daily life
Herersquos how we accomplish that
Energy amp TechnologyOptions
What does it mean to be NetZero
NetZero simply means you produce as much power as you consume Typically this entails using solar panels to produce more energy than you need during peak daylight hours and selling that back to the utility then buying power from the grid at night
Balancing this to Zero is the goal
The Acre approach to NetZero
Our philosophy is to treat the entire home as an ecosystem We drive down the demand for energy by building a well-designed structure and using low-er-consuming equipment Then we monitor and automate the home to get the highest performance out of each element This allows us to supply your energy needs with a reasonable PV array and even offer the option to go off-grid entirely
Energy amp Tech NetZero amp PV
80 81
Standard PV Package
We provide between 35 and 6kWh depending on average energy needs for your climate
We have carefully selected the major home appliances and equipment to be low-consuming and we integrate technology that helps you monitor and balance energy use The rest of your equipment and your lifestyle habits will impact overall energy use As long as you keep an eye on usage NetZero is easily achievable in an Acre home If however you have specific energy demands several PV upgrades are available as well
Complete our Energy Use Analysis Survey to determine whether you are a low average or high energy user Based on these results we can discuss any upgrades you may require
Requires four PV panels per vehicle in most climates Compatible with most EVs
1-car $50002-car $8800
If you are a heavy energy user we can add panels to meet your demands Can be used to accommodate larger families heavy tools amp equipment or pools and hot tubs for example

Less is More Zero is Everything
Acrersquos core mission is to deliver a more advanced home one thatrsquos sustainable efficient and which leverages technology to improve daily life
Herersquos how we accomplish that
Energy amp TechnologyOptions
What does it mean to be NetZero
NetZero simply means you produce as much power as you consume Typically this entails using solar panels to produce more energy than you need during peak daylight hours and selling that back to the utility then buying power from the grid at night
Balancing this to Zero is the goal
The Acre approach to NetZero
Our philosophy is to treat the entire home as an ecosystem We drive down the demand for energy by building a well-designed structure and using low-er-consuming equipment Then we monitor and automate the home to get the highest performance out of each element This allows us to supply your energy needs with a reasonable PV array and even offer the option to go off-grid entirely
Energy amp Tech NetZero amp PV
80 81
Standard PV Package
We provide between 35 and 6kWh depending on average energy needs for your climate
We have carefully selected the major home appliances and equipment to be low-consuming and we integrate technology that helps you monitor and balance energy use The rest of your equipment and your lifestyle habits will impact overall energy use As long as you keep an eye on usage NetZero is easily achievable in an Acre home If however you have specific energy demands several PV upgrades are available as well
Complete our Energy Use Analysis Survey to determine whether you are a low average or high energy user Based on these results we can discuss any upgrades you may require
Requires four PV panels per vehicle in most climates Compatible with most EVs
1-car $50002-car $8800
If you are a heavy energy user we can add panels to meet your demands Can be used to accommodate larger families heavy tools amp equipment or pools and hot tubs for example

Less is More Zero is Everything
Acrersquos core mission is to deliver a more advanced home one thatrsquos sustainable efficient and which leverages technology to improve daily life
Herersquos how we accomplish that
Energy amp TechnologyOptions
What does it mean to be NetZero
NetZero simply means you produce as much power as you consume Typically this entails using solar panels to produce more energy than you need during peak daylight hours and selling that back to the utility then buying power from the grid at night
Balancing this to Zero is the goal
The Acre approach to NetZero
Our philosophy is to treat the entire home as an ecosystem We drive down the demand for energy by building a well-designed structure and using low-er-consuming equipment Then we monitor and automate the home to get the highest performance out of each element This allows us to supply your energy needs with a reasonable PV array and even offer the option to go off-grid entirely
Energy amp Tech NetZero amp PV
80 81
Standard PV Package
We provide between 35 and 6kWh depending on average energy needs for your climate
We have carefully selected the major home appliances and equipment to be low-consuming and we integrate technology that helps you monitor and balance energy use The rest of your equipment and your lifestyle habits will impact overall energy use As long as you keep an eye on usage NetZero is easily achievable in an Acre home If however you have specific energy demands several PV upgrades are available as well
Complete our Energy Use Analysis Survey to determine whether you are a low average or high energy user Based on these results we can discuss any upgrades you may require
Requires four PV panels per vehicle in most climates Compatible with most EVs
1-car $50002-car $8800
If you are a heavy energy user we can add panels to meet your demands Can be used to accommodate larger families heavy tools amp equipment or pools and hot tubs for example
