Air date: Feb 19, 2007

A metal roof is placed on the Norwell, Mass., home and finished with photovoltaic panels that will absorb the sun's energy and send it to a basement inverter that will turn it into usable power for household electricity. Then fiberglass-framed windows, fiber-cement siding and PVC moldings are installed.
