Why this blog? It's simple. The more I understand the who, what, when, where and why about solar energy, the more I want to share the information so that everyone can make an informed choice on whether it is right for them.
The first and most important thing I have learned about solar is that there is always more to learn. Making adjustments in the way I use energy, and finding good ways to measure my use and understand that information allows me to make an "informed choice."
Much like driving our Prius with the on-board monitor which gives me instant feedback on what my driving is doing to my gas mileage, monitoring my energy use at home goes a long way to understanding what I am doing and what those costs are in dollars, in time, and to the environment.
I am a solar installer, and more importantly a solar homeowner. My business is Powerfully Green located in Champlin, MN a suburb of Minneapolis - St Paul, MN. I firmly believe in living with the technology I install on my customer's homes and businesses. This blog is to inform and increase understanding of our choices in energy use and energy production. Thanks for reading.
