I used to own one of the Yurts directly across Highway 101 from the Solar Living Center in Hopland. It was cool but not terribly efficient. I live in northern Utah now and my wife and I are planning a Straw-bale greenhouse/barn/shop on the back of our property. How cool a Fellow Ukiahan.

I always learn something from all of the posts on the tiny house site. What I learned this time that really surprized me was the solar on a trailer. I was wondering if you inquired the who, what where when about it. Have any idea what company provides this bundled solar capturing system? Thanks again for everything.... Hi Kent,

We had a grid tie system with battery back up installed, so that we would be off the grid if needed, but still be able to sell back the electricity to the power company, to generate some income on the side, to pay for property taxes and such. Especially with the new 30% uncut tax credit since Jan. 1st 2009 Solar has become even more interesting to invest in.
