This project’s client is a green energy professional who built a highly efficient, resilient home in the Green Mountains of Vermont. The project involved a roof-mounted array on a detached, timber-frame garage coupled with two Tesla Powerwalls to create a whole-home energy solution. A quote from the owner highlights a commitment to sustainability, from planning to execution:
“Throughout the design and build process of our house, we were always guided by the principles of energy efficiency and resilience. Our goal from the outset was a house that was all-electric, net zero, and tied to the grid, but could operate off-grid for long periods, if necessary. The house includes many energy efficiency measures such as passive house levels of insulation and infiltration, triple-glazed windows, heat pump heating, energy recovery ventilation, a supplementary wood stove, and many more. Despite all those measures, the house of course still consumes electricity (approximately 5,000 kWh per year). This is where the folks at Power Guru came in and designed a PV and battery system that completed our net zero and off-grid capable goals.”
Power Guru is proud to partner with Greentech Renewables, primarily the Albany team, for our solar equipment needs as we work in tandem toward a more sustainable future. The Power Guru and Greentech connection goes deep, our company owner and CEO, Alexander Mintz, is a former Greentech Renewables outside sales representative out of the Auburn, Massachusetts, and Albany, New York offices. As a result, we at Power Guru are keenly aware of the Greentech advantage: company-wide subject matter expertise, a deep bench of dedicated professionals, and the ability to source anything a solar or energy storage project might require for completion.
