Default Solar cost | active versus passive systems

In regard to the question about solar cost and ways to reduce one's
dependence on the grid using costly energy sources, it's great to hear
that so many are exploring active systems such as solar panel
hardware. It's important to realize, however, that the most efficient
and judicious use of home energy results from an integration of active
and passive systems, such as earth berming, appropriately-located
skylights, etc., and that these systems help to supplement existing
energy sources rather than acting as a total replacement for current
energy sources.

Well, its true that designing it in when the place is built is more
useful and gives better payback. not that thats very useful info for
99% of us.
