Open Sourcing How Doug Designed Our Sustainable Energy Infrastructure Solar Array Details

Open Sourcing the Design Process: One Community’s sustainable energy infrastructure is just one aspect of our blueprints for self-sufficient and self-propagating teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities strategy to be built around the world. Just as we will be showcasing a diversity of eco building methodologies and alternative food production options, so too will we showcase a diversity of alternative energy methodologies ranging from traditional generators to solar, wind, and newer technologies as they become available. Our initial system to supply for the energy needs of Pod 1, our aquaponics systems, and the Center of Peace community center is a tried-and-true 283 kWh photovoltaic solar power system.
