79114 FreiburgModel project of the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (FhG ISE); the entire energy consumption of a single-family household is covered by the solar radiation reaching the building. Special features are a solar hydrogen gas stove and a fuel cell, as well as several other new developments. Completion: 1992

| Another shot of the original condition from ~1998. Side view with hydrogen storage in the foreground. On the facade you can see the transparent thermal insulation. |
Sustainability measures |
|
| Urban planning | The property will not be shaded. |
| Ecology | Zero-energy house, without conventional energy sources, without releasing pollutants into the environment The solar house covers 100% of its energy needs through thermal and photovoltaic use of solar energy. Measured heating demand: 0.5 kWh/(m²a) |
| Economics | At a total cost of DM 2.6 million (about 1.4 million euros), the house is about three times more faithful than a similar conventional house. |
| Socio-cultural | The complete renunciation of an external energy supply with regard to the living of tomorrow, but the establishment of a - undoubtedly extreme - boundary condition in the search for nine ways for a future solar age. |
| Special features | It is the first energy self-sufficient solar house in Germany. The use of hydrogen technology |
