Several renewable energy companies exhibit at Md. Home & Garden Show, including Solar and Wind Expo participants Astrum, Greenspring and Groundloop

If you looked, you could find a little bit of everything at the annual Maryland Home & Garden Show, held over five days from March 6-March 14 at the Maryland State Fairgrounds in Timonium; that’s also where The Solar and Wind Expo will take place May 7-9. The more than 600 exhibitors ran the gamut from lawn care to patio equipment to lamps to fencing to gardening supplies to fully landscaped gardens – to renewable energy.

The renewable energy companies on hand included Solar and Wind Expo participants Astrum Solar – our platinum sponsor – whose exhibit included its online “solar calculator;” Groundloop/A+ Solar, with solar, wind and geothermal power; and Greenspring Energy, which provides solar energy systems as well as other energy-saving services such as energy audits.

Also exhibiting at the Home & Garden Show was Daylight Solar, which is considering bringing to The Solar and Wind Expo a major display on a Net-Zero Energy Home that toured the country with the U.S. Department of Energy (also participating in the Expo). Other renewable energy participants included Continuum Energy, solar energy and energy efficiency; Aurora Energy, solar; Total Energy Concepts, geothermal; and ZNS Custom Decks & Additions, which also installs solar electric systems as well as solar daylighting tubes.

At the show, you could pick up the premiere issue of the Maryland Home Improvement Guide, a free monthly magazine that plans to have a major focus on sustainability and whose first issue included pieces on water conservation and Earth Day 2010.

The Solar and Wind Expo continues to gather momentum and is quickly filling up, though there are still some spots available for exhibitors. Please go to our Website, http://www.thesolarandwindexpo.com/, for all the details as well as the latest information on the event.
