Hi jmh, Forget about all the expensive sophisticated energy sources. You're building a brand new timber framed house just insulate the hell out of it 30 cm in the walls, 45 cm in the roof and 20 cm in the floor and you can forget about heating and cooling requirements or you'll need just the bear minimum!! And that is simple to fix with a stufa and/or a small split system at high level. For DHW a small solar panel with 200/300 litres and a water manteled stufa wood or pellet. Cheap as cheese and costs nowt to run!! All you're really trying to do is avoid heat loses and gains to have an ambient indoor climate!!
