The finishing panels that go on the ends of the on-the-shelf are horribly cheap, the buildup is too thin and the self-adhesive is a joke.Considering the price difference, I won't go the off-the-shelf again unless we're talking some tiny section of counter that needs to be added, an island, etc.

If it produces more energy than it consumes then the building is Net positive - though Net Zero is too frequently used as a blanket term to cover both these cases.Ironically, Net Zero does not automatically imply higher energy efficiency - there are several examples of commercial buildings with large expanses of flat roofs (i.e. warehouse) which are net positive, despite the building itself being horribly inefficient.Building standards in North America are woefully outdated on matters of energy efficiency.  

This alone set us back about 6 weeks worth of weekends just getting rid of this, only to find out that the plaster was in horrible shape behind it.  3.

We just purchased a 78 unit property in the DFW area that had horrible management, tons of deferred maintenance, and 25 vacant units..... hope I don't regret it!
