PV: Re: Re: GBlist: An easy solution to the energy crises!

Well just for the record:

We have two solar water heaters (PT40 Progressive Tube Technologies).  One
in my home and one in my vacation home.  We are reinstalling a 1500 Watt
solar power system in my home (Siemens SP75s,  Solar Boost 50, ProSine 1000)
and since 1991 we have been using  home automation control systems in our
homes and office.

I'd say we are doing our part.  What's your story?

PS.  I don't own my office and we are not allowed to modify the structure.
