Learn about creating an alternative energy home
Alternative Energy Home presentation by Ben Solomon at Sierra Nevada College on Aug. 31.
Learn how to develop your own net energy producing, alternative energy home. The program consists of images and description of the development of the Alternative Energy Program at SNC from 1971 to the present, and the conversion of the Solomon house from a “tract” house to a net energy producer.
The material will include helpful information for home owners to reduce their energy consumption and thereby lower utility bills as well as improve home comfort.
Solomon is a professor of Alternative Energy at Sierra Nevada College. He has worked in the energy field since 1971, and has developed many devices and techniques for conserving and harnessing energy.

Gee, a net energy producer, for my house.
How neat, something for nothing. At least that is what you are inplying. Liar.
My current home largely wastes energy and burns a hole in my wallet. I’m not going to make it to Incline to hear this talk, but I think there must be a better way than the leaky homes I’ve lived in here in Tahoe. To make my a home a net energy producer would probably take more money than I have, but if someone were building it today, some very simple improvements would make it much nicer to live in and cheaper to heat.
