Home of Shawn and Lori Lessord of Brockport New York   

Did you ever think that a hot tub and a low electric bill go hand and hand? Well at our home they do, and over the years we have successfully reduced our energy usage and made electric bill  lower each year, except when the IPODS are left on! Our Brockport home features two solar PV systems and a wind energy system!!

1. 2220 watt roof mounted solar array with an SMA power inverter
2. 500 watt Solar pole mounted array with an Outback Battery Backup system
3. 500 watt AIR-X wind turbine powering an off grid system for our furnace and tankless hot water heater!
