First, we are fortunate that the “Net-Zero Living Home” – that the U.S. Department of Energy took around the U.S. for a year – will be part of the Expo, courtesy of exhibitor Daylight Solar. As you might guess from its name, a net-zero home needs no power from the grid. The structure will demonstrate many energy-saving techniques that you can incorporate into your home or business. The Net-Zero Living Home will be hard to miss just outside Exhibition Hall at the Fairgrounds.
Alongside the Net Zero Living Home will be a small carport with solar panels (supplied by exhibitor Kenergy) and a charging station where you can power up an all-electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle. Between the home and carport, we’re hoping you’ll be able to get a nice glimpse of what a future based on energy efficiency and renewable power would look like.
And since we don’t want the adults to have all the fun, we’re hosting a Solar and Wind Expo Scavenger Hunt for kids of all ages! The contest, which will be both fun and educational, will be centered around renewable energy (naturally)...
For much more the Scavenger Hunt and the rest of the Expo, please read the April newsletter, coming soon to your in-box or at http://www.thesolarandwindexpo.com/newsletter.html.
Thanks for sharing this solar technology here. I just joined a Maryland solar company and it’s really hard to learn this thing but later on I choose to read blogs and forums for solar panel technology and your information is really useful in my work. I will be following you in whole solar network.
