Eco house of the future (cold climate.)

The development of most eco houses in cold climates could include electricity generated from Photo Voltaics and a heat pump for house heating and hot water. Energy storage can be provided by a diffuser to split water into H2 and O2 which can then combine in a fuel cell to provide power at night or when sun power is low. The heat pump provides up to 5 times the heat energy of the electrical energy used to drive it.

Solar panels for water heating in UK. could provide 53 w/sq m.
Photo voltaics could provide 5 - 20 w/sq m in temperate zones.
Bio fuels may only produce 0.5 w/sq m .(ref 9)
For comparison wind farms could produce 2 w/sq m on shore and 3 w/sq m offshore.
