It sounds like your ready to embark on a great journey to net zero. If I'm understanding you want to tell the utilities to take a hike and still stay warm and in the light. Of course we will need more details but it sounds like your new digs are well insulated and just need the investment to take your new home to the next level.

I believe your heading in the right direction. We fired the furnace oil delivery guy and are grinning ear to ear.
