Thomas Residence

This Earthship was lacking in power before we showed up to give it a jolt. Winter in Steamboat is no joke, the first thing we did was get the trailer stuck in the snow. The hybrid solar and wind system in this house is tied together with an Outback PS2 System. Power storage is handled with 8 Surette Rolls 6-CS-25-PS 820 amp hour batteries. The renewable power comes from 8 BP 175 watt modules on a UniRac pole top mount rack and a Whisper 200 on a 30’ tower. For emergency backup there is a Kohler 12RES generator run on natural gas.
