Some of Solar Connections' recent efforts:
1. Exploring a Community Solar entity enabling small groups of local folks to take advantage of solar opportunities in their neighborhoods. Contact Kurt at Solarconnections@gmail.com for more information. Currently looking for ideal host sites for community projects. Could be on public or private property. Could be for-profit or non-profit. Let me know!
 2a. In July of 2011, started a working relationship with ReGo, a Minneapolis-based Plug-In Conversion company that is your one-stop shopping point for converting any hybrid vehicle to a plug-in (power and distance BOOSTING) hybrid-electric vehicle (PHEV). Learn more at: http://regoelectric.com or in Wisconsin, call 608-729-4082. Tell 'em Kurt sent you.
 2b. Public Talk on "Solar as a Viable Transportation Fuel". Click on Links and Power Point Notes from this presentation. See new link for EV readiness program sponsored by the Rocky Mountain Institute in Colorado -- Click Here for more info.
 3. Conversion of a 2004 Toyota Prius to a Plug-In Hybid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) in October of 2008.
4. Conversion of a 2000 VW Jetta Tdi to run on 100% vegetable oil (waste vegetable oil available at the Prairie Fire Biofuels Cooperative).
5. Installed a photovoltaic array on our home (2006), which provides about 20% more electricity than our household consumes in a year. See Time-of-Use Metering for a discussion of our net metering system with the local utility.
6. This Website. Intended to be a clearinghouse for information on solar energy, this site will help connect those who want to know more with those who do. See Links page for more connections.
