New passive solar home underway

Construction is fully underway at a new passive solar home I am building and we are using the next generation of thermal mass windows. An incredible achievement in passive solar technology, capturing and storing the suns energy in your windows.



Since last posting here I have joined forces with Next Step Living inc. a Boston MA based company that is leading the way in energy efficiency and having a substantial impact on improving our existing housing stock. A very challenging and rewarding job to say the least.

We have begun building a passive solar home located in central MA in the town of N. Brookfield. To follow this new project here is the link to the new blog.

    Commercial concentrating solar thermal power (CSP) plants were first developed in the 1980s. The 354 MW SEGS CSP installation is the largest solar power plant in the world, located in the Mojave Desert of California. Other large CSP plants include the Solnova Solar Power Station (150 MW), the Andasol solar power station (150 MW), and Extresol Solar Power Station (100 MW), all in Spain. The 370 MW Ivanpah Solar Power Facility, located in California's Mojave Desert, is the world’s largest solar thermal power plant project currently under construction.
    We offer power meters for solar electricity products and services.
