I just called up Tommy Beers to schedule a meet with him, and he said that I could just come over today. He ended up living like 3 minutes from my house which is cool. I had always wondered who lived at the house the pink flamingo mailbox. His solar array is very simple, but still very efficient and useful. It generates 2,450 kilowatts per hour on sunny days.He pays $174 per year on electricity. The average household cost of electricity per year is $1440-1920 per year. Apparently there is a solar home tour that goes on in Ithaca. His house was part of it. I wish I had heard about this earlier so I could find other homes to look at.
