The house is powered by a full and efficient solar system, though it can be easily connected to the electrical grid at the entrance of the driveway if desired. Water is supplied by a borehole together with a cisterna and drainage is handled by a private septic tank, meaning there are no utility charges for electricity, water, or drainage.
