Fortunat Mueller, P.E.'s Energy System
Fortunat’s home sports a 2.7kw grid-tied solar electric system, consisting of 12 SunPower SPR225 modules and a SPR3000x inverter. He aggressively monitors his home’s energy use with a TED meter and has reduced his energy loads so much that he expects the solar electric system to provide 100% of his electric needs.
He also has an Apricus AP60 solar hot water system. In the rare occasions when the solar system needs backup, he has a Triangle Tube Prestige Excellence boiler which serves both as an on demand water heater and as a backup heater. He heats primarily with a Hampton wood stove.
