The Heliotrope is the brainchild of architect Ralph Disch. The home rotates with the sun. This home generates five times the energy it consumes. Mounted on a pole, the home is timed to rotate 180 degrees through the day, following the sun’s track. The 6.6 kWH solar panels on top produce more than enough energy to make the home net energy positive. A unique hand railing system doubles as solar thermal tubing that heats the home’s water and radiators.The home also re-uses grey water and rainwater for domestic use and features a composting toilet system.
