Here is a picture of the front of the house. Over the next several
months, it will get a new roof, several new windows, the front
slightly modernized and completely repainted to probably a slate-blue
and white trim color scheme. The central, high portion of the roof is
can be changed to 100% PV and would make the house just about energy
neutral. The rest of the house is designed passive solar and the
central atrium floor is almost six cubic yards of concrete thermal
mass. All windows are set back for no summer sun intrusion, but full
winter sun.  You can see how the midday sun is already being limited
as the sun is getting higher in the sky. The window area and thermal
mass was properly calculated for our latitude and climate when it was
built. Side walls are nearly a foot thick with split-stud
double-walls.

The question is whether or not to do the entire roof with integrated,
or leave the two sides alone and just do the high portion.
