looking to be a test home for solar or wind turbine energy
Live in the Akron . Canton area. Would like my home to be used as a demo / test home for solar power
Located in southern van wert county, residential 5 acre site with good average wind according to maps. Looking to be demo/test home for wind turbine power.
For Scott:
I found this information on the Web: There’s a Northwest Ohio Green Energy Workshop on Monday, July 21, at the Toledo Zoo. This website has details:

Thanks for the info Lois!
I am in the process of buying a small home on the lake and would like to make it fully solar powered and need some info on who I can talk to about grants if any as well as a complany that can install
My husband and I are interested in learning more about converting our home to solar power. We are willing to offer our home as a site for a workshop/demo. We are in the greater Clevleand area.
I also am looking for more detailed information on solar power. Our home/roof get wonderful sun all day. We think it would be very beneficial, but are concerned with cost, details, etc.
My husband and I live in Dayton would love to be a demo home or get info on solar power for our home.
Renovating a lake front A-frame in Stark Co., Ohio. We have to install new furnace & water heater so we will demo down to the studs in most areas for new plumbing & wiring. We are planning to use ADA design in many areas to meet my husbands medical needs. I could use any help & information you could give me. I think this house would make a great test/demo project. Thank you
I have moved to the country and have discovered that my electric is more expensive. People in my same zip code are
spending less. I need a better sorce of energy. My heat is desil and firewood. I have a pond and 9 acers I thought geo themal might be a way to go. I just need some help to make this home more efficent. send info please
We live in a Historic home in Downtown Dayton where the Wright Brothers were born. Our home is located within a National Historic Park. We are interested in converting our home to solar panels and maybe some wind turbines. If you are looking for a demo we would be thrilled to be chosen.
in the next year We are looking to remodel our home I’ve speent countless hours looking for products on the solar level and wind power I’ve seen numerous shows on tv and mutipule info on the net but nothig with the latest solor technology if im spending money i want the best avalable not out dated systems I’m in the construction industry and am appauled at the avalability of technologythat is avalable I know we should be able to buy matireals and install them without an assanine price tag would greatly appreciate any info thank you
Jeff, solar technology has not changed that much in the last 50 years. About half a century has passed and we’ve only doubled efficiency. On the other hand there are people who have had systems installed in the 60s who are still generating electricity, and are laughing all the way to the bank at the people who wait and wait and wait.
The reason the technology is not available is not the fault of contractors, it’s because it’s not available at all. It’s still in lab and the outrageous claims about price and output will often fall short.
PV panels work and will last for decades. Get some now and start saving energy costs today. No new whizbang stuff is going to drastically change the game in 5 years, and thinfilm doesn’t work on small residential applications at the moment.
I would love to be involved! I face direct south and want to use it the right way. A lot of people say it won’t work , but I know it will.
My Wife and I are in the process of purchasing a home in Cuyahoga County and are very interested in solar technology. We would definitely be interested in more info on test/demo project. Thanks!
Hello. We are a family of 5 living in between Middletown & Germantown, Ohio. We have a bit over an acre & are looking to go completly renewable. We are currently in the process of producing biodiesel to run our furnace. We are wanting to see about using wind since we pretty much have to replace the roof every year due to the wind tearing it off & are replacing about 2 squares thoughout the year. We are also in the process of putting together a green house that will be heated by a compost pile & circulating water.
We’re very big believers in natural & organic & are interested in meeting others who are also.
If you are interested in meeting another family or if you are a solar/wind company looking for a family to use as guinea pigs just hollar!
Oh, we are also looking for info over a solar hot water heater & how to develop your own in floor heating. (We’re big on DIY!
)
Thanks! HoneyNBenNKids AT Gmail.com
Just pop solar rocks in the subject please!

I’d be interested in finding out if there are any places where a person could access USED ’standard’ sized solar panels, from re-po’ed homes or wherever.
We have a home in Springboro OH with a wonderful southern roof exposure, that is also ‘ramped’ well above the neighbors’ houses & trees on that side.
I currently own 4acres in Cincinnati(inside city limits) That sits on top of a hill. I am building a new log home 40×50 starting in July 2009. This project will be a big news to the city. I plan to go solar. this may be a project we can work on togather!!!
I live in a country setting and we are paying above avarage gas prices here in Swanton Ohio.I would like to try solar energy in my place. But I can’t aford it.So If any one have any good ideals for me,I am open for suggestions.Or if you need a home to model your products am imterested.
I am 18 years old and Live in Bristolville, And I am working on implementing Solar and “green” devices and ideas of my own into my family’s house and would like to get some more information on the solar panels. I also think that as for a Demo house, My Solar ideas meshed with Solar Panels and Turbines could be almost 100% green and double as a Great Example for others. Thanks again
i would like to build a wind generator of my own, is there anyone out there that can help me, also i would like to build my own solar panels. so if you are interested in this,contact me
I would like to know if there is a full service solar power installer in NE Ohio that also helps in securing grants and government funding for residential installs.
I have just launched a solar PV, solar thermal and wind turbine installer business in the dayton area. One of the first in this area I believe. I have the first PV array at my own home in Kettering in 20 yrs. The inspector could not remember ever inspecting one. I am open for business.
James,
Great to hear that and best of luck with your new business!
Cheers,

I am very interested and motivated to install my own solar, wind, and bio-fuel green, energy self-sustaining home systems. I live in an urban older, decaying city in Ohio. I need financial assistance and government incentives in order to achieve my objective. How do I make this happen this summer 2009.
I am very interested in solar industry, am currently working for a licensed electrician, Am wondering what it takes to become certified to install. Also what does it take to get the rebates. Can we install a system ourselves as a licensed electrician and still get the rebates?
