Cool, thanks for showing off our video series! We’ve been driving around ME & NH talking to people who’ve installed solar collecting their stories… The takeaway is that it’s not just one person or demographic making all this happen.

We still believe in solar thermal systems, and just posted a blog detailing a bit more in-depth as to the design choices between picking a photovoltaic system or solar thermal system, this may interest some readers – http://www.revisionenergy.com/blog/rumors-of-solar-thermals-death-greatly-exaggerated/

Thanks again for sharing this story!

So, solar electricity produced 70% of the buildings heat. But that’s in a business which most likely was closed at night. That wouldn’t apply to a residential building or any other which needed to be heated around the clock, but is an interesting idea for commercial/daytime heating.

However, 144 panels along with all the installation costs. Seems like a geothermal heat pump would make more sense. And offer benefits all night long.

Don’t you mean “Maine” in the headline? “Main Solar PV Exploding” sounds like a gas main blowing up.
