Solar Fred loves it when utilities realize that the future is solar hot water and solar photo voltaics for homes and businesses.

Developers are also starting to realize that the future is hear now with solar hot water.

I also love it when very old, traditional, institutions like Appleton Farms, one of the oldest continuously operating farms in the country, is saying that they can still be modern and energy efficient. As a result, they’ve applied for and received a grant from stimulus funds. Appleton will be using some of the money to install solar thermal hot water systems on the old farmstead. Good for you, Appleton. Oh, and by the way, this installation is another example that breaks the myth that you can’t install solar thermal hot water systems in cold climates like New England.
