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.
With the house being new construction, the solar system was closely coordinated with the architectural design.
This international client was well-researched. He sought us out for one reason: we are the area’s premier SunPower dealer.
His investigation led him to conclude that SunPower really is “the planet’s most powerful solar.” When he discovered our engineering roots, his decision was clear.
This retired customer had a strong motivation to power his all-electric home and control his future utility costs by generating his own energy on site.
When the local village said “no” to his permit application, we assisted in getting an ordinance passed that made possible this and future wind installations.
Located high atop a hill northeast of Wausau, this executive household, concerned about the energy consumption of their recently added indoor pool, wanted to install a wind system to reduce their footprint.
Since his house in the city was site constrained, this retired executive opted to install systems at his farm to offset the electrical use of both his home and farm.
As such, his farm is a net exporter of power back to the grid. His wind and sun harvest adds to his farming operation as he in effect becomes a mini utility.
