Building a Zero Energy Ready Home

Habitat for Humanity of Summit & Wasatch Counties is building two of their newest homes so energy efficient that they achieve the U.S. Department of Energy’s “Zero Energy Ready Home” certification. Utah Clean Energy in partnership with local architects Think Architecture, and energy experts at Nexant are helping them achieve this goal! Thank you to Edwards Mother Earth Foundation for making this work possible.

Zero Energy Ready Homes are so energy efficient, on-site rooftop solar can offset all or most of its annual energy needs. This means close to zero energy bills and zero unnecessary pollution!

NOTICE: WE ARE NOT A SOLAR COMPANY

We would like to clarify that Utah Clean Energy is not a solar company. We are a nonprofit organization that advocates for solar and other clean energy technologies, but we do not install or sell solar in any way.
 
Utah Clean Energy Association is not affiliated with our work. This is a sales group that despite our best efforts to get them to stop, continues to use our name in their advertising. We encourage you to report them to Google Ads as misleading. The company that reached out to you is likely a solar company that purchased your contact information as a lead. You may consider reporting that company to the Better Business Bureau for using misleading sales tactics also.
 
We apologize for any confusion this may have caused and appreciate your understanding.
 
Thank you,

The Utah Clean Energy team
