National Solar Tour 2008

On October 4th, As part of the ASES National Solor tour we found our selves at one of the closest homes who have done alot in the way of alternative energy.

Here are a few things that we saw.

  1. 2 - 3 kWh photo voltaic solar arrays (grid tied - no batteries)
  2. Wind turbine (not tail, and doesn’t produce as well in our geographic area)
  3. Discussed Geothermal (using the natural thermal properties of the earth)
  4. Wind Mill that powers (an ice cream maker, or seed oil press)

Most of the stuff the owner installed him self (actually had contractors install it)
