I am in the design phase of a 100% off grid home to be built in San Diego. I am a DIY guy to my core. Building this home will be my first project in retirement. I spent the last month teaching myself autocad to design the home. So far so good. Now come the choices for energy. This is not a cabin and I am not looking to rough it. AC is a must. I was thinking split units. I designed in a giant south facing roof with room for all the solar I want. Heat should not be too much of a concern due to the temperate climate. Looking for any advice I can get from those who have gone before me. Should I consider propane for stove, dryer, and heat to relieve some of the solar requirements? Any advice is appreciated.
