Leonard Allen’s Off-The-Grid Home
You may recall our post about John Wilson’s solar home. Well I recently watched another video of John’s, this time it features an interview with his friend Leonard Allen (president of Solera Sustainable Energies). You may find the video itself a little dry since it’s mostly just dialogue, but if you have some interest in alternative home power systems you will more than likely find it quite interesting.
Also, I HIGHLY recomment you check out John’s ‘Off The Grid’ page (on his Natural Life Network site) for a detailed article about Leonard’s house.
What’s especially cool about this home is the fact that the Allen family enjoys a ‘normal’ lifestyle - they have a dishwasher, clothes washer and dryer, computers (with high-speed internet), large screen TV, stereo etc. Add to this the fact that the home is quite large.
It’s certainly a great indication of the potential of alternative energy systems (especially when you consider the technological advances that continue to be made in this field).
