Solar Homeowners Kelley Hersey & Fred Faudie

7.5 kW installed by Norwich Technologies in 2014
When we were contemplating adding solar power to our house, we were amazed at the clarity and simplicity of the available systems for easy installation and the advanced technology for monitoring our usage. It was most gratifying to know that we would no longer need to rely on the oil industry to stay warm or to be contributing to the negative environmental impact of burning fossil fuels. The home, designed by architect Christopher Smith, won an award from Efficiency Vermont for comprehensive efficiency in residential new construction. It combines insulation, air tightness, energy efficiency, and solar exposure. The cold-climate heat pump paired with the solar panels results in a house that is heated with renewable energy. |
