Scene of Green

April 6th was the 5th annual Green Scene, and we got to power the event for the third year running.  We built a SunStation just for the job, our smallest and most cost-effective model ever. Version 3.0 has 570 rated watts of PV modules, four deep-cycle flooded batteries, a digital PWM charge controller, and a 2300W 24V modified sine wave inverter.

We always have so much fun, and this year was the best ever. We gave a demonstration explaining the basic principles of solar power and living Off Grid. Our friends and neighbors Tim McKenna and Kevin Elmore teamed up on a very informative demonstration on reclaiming the desert land using simple techniques and proven principles.

There was so much else, I can't even begin to cover everything.  Between the stand-up comedy and belly-dancing, there were lots of great demonstrations and educational materials. And as always, tons of great, fresh food.

Terlingua Green Scene 2012

The fourth annual Terlingua Green Scene is tomorrow, April 7th.

The All Energies team will be there all day, powering the Beer Garden and answering questions about alternative energy.

You can listen to Mark and Shannon's KTRS [Marfa Public Radio] interview here.

We are transporting the Sun Station to the Ghostown today, but even if there's no sunshine, there's plenty of battery power!  Although, a cloudy day would be unusual for Terlingua.

Come check out the demonstrations and other activities! Plenty of sustainable fun to be had by all!
