I first became a realtor in Washington state in the 80's and back then the canvas bag was being introduced in grocery stores and solar energy was working into the mainstream home builders.  Unfortunately, the solar systems where big and bulky, not very dependable and short lived. 

Today's solar technology is one way that any homeowner in the Roaring Fork Valley and Aspen area can become less dependent on their local energy companies.  Solar headwater heaters can provide 80% of all domestic hot water and offer a quick payback to the homeowner. 

With Aspen's real estate market being dominated by second homes, alternative sources of energy make great sense as these homes could with efficient photovoltaic systems could produce enough energy to sustain the residence and could create excess to sell, trade or barter. 

In the Aspen Valley area, we are fortunate to have many companies that possess the knowledge, resources and ability to retrofit any home in the valley.  Sol Energy located in Carbondale is just one of the fine companies that are available,http://www.solenergy.org/sol_advantage/sol_advantage.html

There are many national resources as well that can help you with becoming independent and energy efficient no matter where you live.  For more information, please contact me for a full range of contacts.

Here comes the sun....
