Zero Energy Home

ZDNet talks about a Zero Energy Home in Oklahama.

But what exactly is a zero energy home (ZEH)?
A ZEH is connected to the utility grid, but at off-peak time periods, it generates more power than it uses by combining renewable energy technologies with advanced energy-efficient construction. As a result, a ZEH lowers the power demand on its utility provider. It produces about as much energy as it consumes during a year, so it is considered to achieve "net zero" energy consumption.
