After retiring from 20 plus years of service, this veteran created his idyllic prairie homestead.
Having already installed geothermal to optimize his heating and cooling energy usage, he turned to solar to offset the electricity in his home.
This Energy Star-rated $1.5M residential construction project incorporates one of the largest residential solar hot water systems in the Upper Midwest.
