We are living in an age of uncertainty where fuel is concerned therefore moving toward a long-term approach makes complete sense, not just for the immediate future, but for the futures of our children and grandchildren. We all have a part to play in taking care of our immediate and extended environment. The fact that you are considering a green home or a sustainably built house means that you take the issue of climate change seriously and regard it as one of the most pressing issues that we face.
Do you think being independent of oil or gas is just a dream? With a Solar Powered house from Baufritz, your dreams of living sustainably and green can now become a reality. A sustainable home from Baufritz, with a complete solar panel system, which works the whole year round, provides two-thirds of the heating for your home. Only the remaining one-third will you need to heat yourself, through very efficient wood pellet burners that have become increasingly popular in the past 15 years or so.
Store heat instead
of electricity
With a solar house you are your own energy supplier. While the neighbours complain about high gas and oil prices, you will be heating nearly self-sufficiently your Baufritz home. The solar house principle is based mainly on three components: a solar heating system, a hot-water stratified storage tank and a booster heater. With Baufritz you are ideally positioned for the future.

- Annual primary energy needs 5 to 15 kWh (m²a)
- At least 45 degrees inclined southern roof surface
(alternatively steeply elevated thermal solar system) - A water storage integrated in the house (layered heat storage)
