If you have wind this is a much better investment than solar. We have strong marine breezes on every summer afternoon, so our client will switch to a time of use meter and sell power the grid for FIVE times the baseline price. This is precisely because peak time power is Monday to Friday, May to October, noon to six pm - which is when the best wind blows!e-mail us if you want to know more - sean@frescoframes.com We’re installing the same Skystream for a client in Morgan Hill, CA just now.

I think this sort of thing is a nice gesture but in the end just perpetuates the idea that you don't have to change your lifestyle and habits in order to make an impact, but that you can just buy your way into being green. If we look at that idea in perspective, I think it's not really going to solve anything. Yeah.

It is certainly eclectic - lots of bathrooms, funky tiles, odd room layouts. I think it is a good example of how green in itself isn't the only thing that matters, but that architecture is also about good spaces and common sense design. PV cells and wind turbins are but green wash if the architecture doesn't work. I saw this house recently at a tour. It is certainly eclectic – lots of bathrooms, funky tiles, odd room layouts.
