Green energy

Hi... I am Timmy and I built a green energy home. Got tired of hearing people bash my geo- thermal heating and such, so I decided to dedicate a thread to those that care...Welcome even people that hate it.

 

Some early pics

 

Pics of closer to today

 

Oh... can't forget how much I hate my cat

 

If you think going green is stupid....check out my cost to heat the house(2000sq ft)

 

By the way ....yes it cost me 11.51 to heat my whole house for the month of December.

 

Damn, great looking house, great looking property, you've got a solid homestead. Love the under garage design. No solar or is it too dark in PA?

 

Looking at 7k and powerwall... and thank you

 

Vertical loops or field ?

 

2 300foot verticals

 

I have a three ton geo unit...I had my water well thrown in for almost nothing while they were here drilling the geo loops

 

Ah, it was hard to see. Only 1 powerwall for the home? I would expect at least 2 for the size...

 

I just want one for the basic things (frig basic lighting). I like the idea of doing a hybrid system and selling back to the grid. Plus there is no way it could run my geo-thermal for heat...I have a wood stove for that.

 

Very cool,I'm GREEN with envy.Nice job!

 

Thank you, it's just a place to hang my hat...hope others realize it not that hard to do.

 

Well done!

 

What was the cost on the geo? Solar? How long before it saves you enough to make up the cost?

 

Very nice.

 

Interesting. We only have a foot or two of dirt before hitting rock. Reason why well drilling is so expensive around here.

 

Geo cost 40,000 included my water well...got my well included in that and some other plumbing..got 30% back in federal and state taxes. It wouldn't have been that much but I had to buy the casings for all three of my wells which cos me about 5 grand ...you get the same with solar. Then my geo guy gave me 5000 dollars back in a check also...it's a long story.
