The first month in 2012 was a good solar month...lots of sun and fairly warm weather for a Maine January. We generated 321 kWhrs of electricity which got this year off to a good start.

We've received a great deal of media attention over the years. The video below is a sampling as well as an inside look are living in Maine in the winter in a solar house. When I refer to the "ten years" of solar living, keep in mind that it is now 18 years of great solar living.

Solar is an answer, allbeit an expensive answer, to keeping Mainers warm in the winter. The stories of residents without heat are heart-rending. You can read a New York Times report on their plight.
