Summary
Fletcher Living, a New Zealand developer, is offering a five-year zero power bill guarantee to the buyer of a solar-powered home in Lincoln, Canterbury. The solar-equipped home costs $999,000 — a $30,000 premium over an identical standard build used as a control in a five-year trial. CEO Steve Evans claims significant potential savings, though the actual long-term savings remain unproven at this stage of the experiment.
