*Our home/office is all electric, electric heat, electric hot water. In 2007 we installed a 3kw Solar PV system. In 2010/2011, we completed the second phase of our home/office. In 2012 we installed an additional 6.2kw Solar Pv system to offset the increased square footage.
As of 2018 our personal tranportation is with an electric car and a plug in hybrid EV.
